Can you please tell us what file extension the executable you used had and while filesystem is on you usb drive? There was a change in the default mount options for vfat that restricts executable permissions to windows executable files for the windows FAT file system a while ago:
udisks (1.0.1-2) unstable; urgency=low * Add 00git-vfat-showexec.patch: Enable the "showexec" vfat mount option, to avoid data files being executable (which causes confusing question dialogs in nautilus which only have one sensible answer). Patch taken from upstream git head. (LP: #14335) ** Changed in: ubuntu Status: New => Incomplete ** Tags added: maverick -- Could not able to run the executable from the USB flash drive only in Ubuntu 10.10 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/663815 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
