Re: [GNC] copying files
Varda, I travel with a laptop and use a desktop at home. If you have internet access while travelling I have had no problem with putting the GnuCash files in a Dropbox account synced to both the desktop and laptop. You can work without internet access and it syncs next time access is available. Only problem is it doesn't cope well with GnuCash open on both machines simultaneously to the extent that the file copy in the Dropbox on the machine where GnuCash is last closed will overwrite any changes made on the other machine. Mitigates against losing a USB. I am using Linux Mint Cinnamon basd on Ubuntu 16.04 and have had no problems with USB's being mounted readonly with it so as Adrein suggested it may be a Mate problem.

Please reply to the list, not just to myself, Repy All is what you should do in most mailer software, I am copying the list on this. So it is not a Gnucash problem, it is to do with your operating system. Which OS and version are you using?

Re: [GNC] copying files
I thought Ubuntu fixed that problem. There was a long standing bug concerning USB devices mounting as read-only. (a flash card is mounted under the USB subsystem) It may still be hanging around on some systems, especially if you upgraded from 16.04 or earlier without a fresh install. You can probably find plenty of help threads on the web about it. I’m sorry I don’t recall off hand a quick solution short of logging out and back in. (no need to shutdown entirely as I recall) Also, this was a Unity problem that was due to some hold-over code from the old Gnome desktop. (Gtk+2) Since MATE forked that code, it is possible the bug wasn’t fixed there.
