Title:
Thunar behaves inconsistently with USB flash drive FAT32 partitions
Status in glib2.0 package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
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.
