[Bug 1218076] Re: nemo says vfat/fat32 usb flash drive are read-only - not so...
I confirm for linux mint, and also with caja (changed the tittle). The issue is random, and disappears after a reboot... I know as a developer that random issues are extremely hard to solve as long as we don't find a way to systematically reproduce it. ** Changed in: linuxmint Status: New => Confirmed ** Summary changed: - nemo says vfat/fat32 usb flash drive are read-only - not so... + nemo and caja says vfat/fat32 usb flash drive are read-only - not so... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1218076 Title: nemo and caja says vfat/fat32 usb flash drive are read-only - not so...

The same problem in Linux Mint 18. After formatting the usb drive I can't write to it. The same thing with 2 flash drives. The message "The designation is read-only".

I cannot believe that this bug still exists this many years after it was reported. I'm running a fresh install of Mint 17.3, and just formatted a USB stick from Nemo. Yet again, I was then unable to copy files to the stick unless I sudoed into Nemo. Seriously folks, this is one irritating and longstanding bug.

Same trouble here on a new 16.04 installation. Facts are: * disk image is mounted correctly RW * CLI and Nautilus respect and allow the RW * Nemo only allows R Suggestion - could it have anything todo with the special ACL attributes?

I don't konw if this may help for the ones who will try to fix this, but: Since it works in command line, and there are strictly no errors in dmesg, since the device is properly mounted and writable in CLI, it's not a low level issue. Since the issue is not really desktop dependent meaning that it happens in different ones (mate, xfce, cinamon, gnome), I suspect a messaging issue between mount events and the xsession itsself (dbus? I'm no expert). It really looks like the GUI's file manager receives wrong permissions by some notification process (deamon) and does not check the real file permissions. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1218076 Title: nemo says vfat/fat32 usb flash drive are read-only - not so...

[Bug 1218076] Re: nemo says vfat/fat32 usb flash drive are read-only - not so...
Same problem, running mint 17.2. Essentially, Nemo thinks any USB drive I plug in is read only, regardless of reformatting. However, I can cp from the command line just fine. While this is a perfectly acceptable workaround, this should be considered a serious problem for the Mint / Ubuntu team. There are already tons of posts about this all over the web, many of them claiming (erroneously) that the drives must have failed, that they need to be formatted, that users should try all sorts of different solutions, etc. If we're going to sell the operating system as "easy, free, and open source" users need to be able to use their flash drives and USB hard- drives without having to resort to the command line. Otherwise, why have the pretty gui and file browser to begin with? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1218076 Title: nemo says vfat/fat32 usb flash drive are read-only - not so...

[Bug 1218076] Re: nemo says vfat/fat32 usb flash drive are read-only - not so...
I confirm this in Linux mint quiana with CAJA (mate desktop) and an NTFS formated USB hard drive. Now the most weird thing of all is : if I open a terminal anc cd to the mounted folder, I can write anything from command line, permissions show it's writeable and I CAN WRITE using CLI. BUT only CAJA refuses tu write to it and says it's read only. How can there be a permissions discrepancy between the GUI's file manager and fusermount's (and CLI) permissions which allow writing and show the destination as writeable? After a reboot the issue disappeared. It's a totaly random issue and hard to reproduce, but it happens from time to time... Since it's random I can't give info right now, but will next time it happens. Since there is no CLI issue (only pure GUI problem), what kind of logs can I give to help debugging? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1218076 Title: nemo says vfat/fat32 usb flash drive are read-only - not so...
