As I recall, this bug is about getting the error message "destination is read-only" on a drive which has become read-only one time during a login session despite remounting or inserting other drives which get the same device name.
If you don't see this error message, then your bug is a different one. Reading https://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?pid=50502#p50502 I see no similarities between the two cases. I didn't verify the fix with the updated glib packages available in bionic (2.56.x), but will do in the following days. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to glib2.0 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1332623 Title: Thunar behaves inconsistently with USB flash drive FAT32 partitions Status in glib2.0 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in thunar package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: I installed Xubuntu 14.04 and performed no customizations or reconfigurations. Observation: Thunar 1.6.3 ("File Manager" from menu) on Xubuntu 14.04 handles write permission to inserted USB flash drives inconsistently: * I am able to create a nil file on the flash drive with Thunar and edit it. Clearly, the flash drive is not read-only. * Using Thunar, I cannot copy an existing file (E.g. ~/.profile) and paste it on the flash drive - "destination is read-only" (not true!). * However, in a terminal window, `cp` with the flash drive as a destination succeeds. I tried this on drives by different manufacturers and with differing capacities and on two different Xubuntu 14.04 installations. There might be a configuration change for Thunar to allow paste to flash drives. If so, this should be enabled when Thunar is installed as this behaviour is what users expect. Note: I created the FAT32 partition with `gparted` on Linux. I also got the same results after creating a FAT32 partition using an MACOSX system.
