Description of the problem: Currently NTFS formated USB flash drives do not have the exec bit for {exe,com,bat}. Use of NTFS makes more sense for some users , as pen drives tend to have larger capacities than earlier . "vfat" support 'showexec' mount option, which is currently not implemented on ntfs-3g. The use case is necessary when we have applications that are multi platform. 2. How reproducible is the problem? Always. Format a usb key with NTFS and copy some .exe files. Insert it to the usb port and let Nautilus open it. Files won't have the +x bit enabled. drwxr-x---+ 4 root root 4096 Mar 11 16:11 .. -rw------- 1 user1 user1 29 Mar 8 14:20 aaa.exe 3. Workaround You can umout and mount manually with the following command. But it defeats the purpose of having proper permissions from the start. sudo mount -t auto /dev/sda1 /media/lborda/ 4. Additional info: * ntfs-3g allows for exec mount option, which enables execute bit for all files. * We would also need to enable "showexec" bit in udisk for ntfs, or allow for https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33461 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ntfs-3g/+bug/1153781/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
