Public bug reported: When dragging and dropping files from my local disk to a connected USB key, Nautilus claims that the key is read-only. Copying the same files via the command line works.
Steps to reproduce: - Plug in a USB key that has space on it and that is not write protected - Drag and drop a file from an another device to the key in Nautilus Expected result: the file is copied Actual result: Nautilus shows an error window that claims the key is read only (see screen shot) Workaround: copy the files via the command line ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.04 Package: nautilus 1:3.18.4.is.3.14.3-0ubuntu5 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.4.0-34.53-generic 4.4.15 Uname: Linux 4.4.0-34-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: zfs zunicode zcommon znvpair zavl ApportVersion: 2.20.1-0ubuntu2.1 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: Unity Date: Thu Aug 25 13:46:04 2016 GsettingsChanges: b'org.gnome.nautilus.window-state' b'geometry' b"'890x550+5+162'" InstallationDate: Installed on 2016-05-02 (114 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS "Xenial Xerus" - Release amd64 (20160420.1) SourcePackage: nautilus UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug xenial ** Attachment added: "Selection_039.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1616912/+attachment/4727580/+files/Selection_039.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1616912 Title: Can't drag & dropping files from HDD to USB key: Nautilus claims the key is read-only To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1616912/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
