[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1332623] Re: Thunar behaves inconsistently with USB flash drive FAT32 partitions
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.

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.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1021375] Re: Nautilus says the USB stick is read only when it is not
The same problem can happen in Thunar. For some cases Nautilus itself needs an additional patch, but the underlying problem was identified and fixed in glib. Unfortunately the fixed version is not available in Ubuntu yet. See the Thunar bug for more details, and thanks go to Nelson Benitez for fixing it: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunar/+bug/1332623 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1021375 Title: Nautilus says the USB stick is read only when it is not Status in Nautilus: Confirmed Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in nemo package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: First time I use an USB drive since I updated to 12.04 and I found a really annoying bug on Nautilus. Nautilus claims that the destination drive is read-only when in fact it is not. How to reproduce: 1. Connect a USB stick drive to your competer. 2. The USB will appear in the desktop. 3. Open two Nautilus windows one in your home folder, other in the USB stick drive. 4. Select any file from your home folder (small enough to fit the free space in the USB drive) 5. Drag the file and drop it in the USB drive window. -- Nautilus will say that it cannot copy the file because the destination is read ony -- If you try the copy the same file with the terminal you will see that the file is copied without problem, other programs like gedit or LibreOffice can write in the usb stick drive just fine. It is not a problem with the USB stick, as shown here: [ 6232.288064] usb 2-1: new high-speed USB device number 6 using ehci_hcd [ 6232.426378] scsi8 : usb-storage 2-1:1.0 [ 6233.468489] scsi 8:0:0:0: Direct-Access Kingston DT 101 IIPMAP PQ: 0 ANSI: 0 CCS [ 6233.469862] sd 8:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg2 type 0 [ 6234.178262] sd 8:0:0:0: [sdb] 3909632 512-byte logical blocks: (2.00 GB/1.86 GiB) [ 6234.178735] sd 8:0:0:0: [sdb] Write Protect is off [ 6234.178740] sd 8:0:0:0: [sdb] Mode Sense: 23 00 00 00 [ 6234.179251] sd 8:0:0:0: [sdb] No Caching mode page present [ 6234.179256] sd 8:0:0:0: [sdb] Assuming drive cache: write through [ 6234.183369] sd 8:0:0:0: [sdb] No Caching mode page present [ 6234.183376] sd 8:0:0:0: [sdb] Assuming drive cache: write through [ 6234.210138] sdb: sdb1 [ 6234.212732] sd 8:0:0:0: [sdb] No Caching mode page present [ 6234.212736] sd 8:0:0:0: [sdb] Assuming drive cache: write through [ 6234.212740] sd 8:0:0:0: [sdb] Attached SCSI removable disk The permisions on the removable drive are set correctly: sergio@shana:/media$ ls -lah total 12K drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4,0K jul 5 10:20 . drwxr-xr-x 23 root root 4,0K jul 3 11:01 .. drwx-- 5 sergio sergio 4,0K dic 31 1969 DESIGNPLUS There is enough free space in the drive: sergio@shana:/media/DESIGNPLUS$ df -h S.ficheros Tamaño Usado Disp Uso% Montado en /dev/sda2 50G 5,5G 42G 12% / udev 1,5G 4,0K 1,5G 1% /dev tmpfs579M 872K 579M 1% /run none 5,0M 0 5,0M 0% /run/lock none 1,5G 1,1M 1,5G 1% /run/shm /dev/sda1497M 113M 360M 24% /boot /dev/sda5245G 111G 122G 48% /home /dev/sdb11,9G 681M 1,2G 36% /media/DESIGNPLUS A file can be copied to the USB stick using the cp command for example. sergio@shana:~/Trash$ cp wireless.txt /media/DESIGNPLUS sergio@shana:~/Trash$ cd /media/DESIGNPLUS sergio@shana:/media/DESIGNPLUS$ ls -lah total 204K drwx-- 5 sergio sergio 4,0K jul 5 10:38 . drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4,0K jul 5 10:20 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 sergio sergio 117K jul 5 10:14 ._Screen Shot 2012-06-30 at 8.50.37 AM.png -rw-r--r-- 1 sergio sergio 55K jun 30 08:51 Screen Shot 2012-06-30 at 8.50.37 AM.png drwx-- 4 sergio sergio 4,0K jul 5 10:05 .Spotlight-V100 drwx-- 2 sergio sergio 4,0K jul 5 10:05 .Trashes -rw-r--r-- 1 sergio sergio 4,0K jul 5 10:05 ._.Trashes -rw-r--r-- 1 sergio sergio 73 jul 5 10:38 wireless.txt But nautilus just dennies to copy the file claming that the destination is read only, when it is not.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1332623] Re: Thunar behaves inconsistently with USB flash drive FAT32 partitions
I've found this bug on Ubuntu 17.10 with Thunar version 1.6.12-1
yesterday, and after a bit digging found the root cause in the gio part
of glib:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=787731
They have found it using Nautilus earlier and created a fix, which was
released in glib-2.55. Unfortunately the newest libglib2.0-0 available
in Ubuntu (artful and bionic) is 2.54.1-1ubuntu1 which doesn't contain
the fix.
** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #787731
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=787731
** Also affects: glib2.0 (Ubuntu)
