[Bug 1021375] Re: Nautilus says the USB stick is read only when it is not
I know I'm not running the latest LTS, but 16.04, yet I tried Etienne's advice (because it seems to make perfect sense), but fsck wasn't allowed to fix a FAT-mismatch: sudo fsck.vfat /dev/sdf1 fsck.fat 3.0.28 (2015-05-16) FATs differ but appear to be intact.

Permissions of the block device are: brw-rw 1 root disk 8, 81 Sep 28 23:04 /dev/sdf1 As it seems that this issue is still open, I hope that maybe someone might find this information useful for debugging.

[Bug 1021375] Re: Nautilus says the USB stick is read only when it is not
Ubuntu 19.04 (disco) will switch to read-only when a automatically mounted VFAT filesystem with errors is detected. You have to umount the filesystem and then run "sudo fsck.vfat /dev/sd" multiple times, until fsck.vfat do no more ask to correct the new errors detected in the filesystem. Maybe fsck.vfat should be modified so that after the question "Perform changes ? (y/n) y" it asks for "Re-check filesystem ?

Re: [Bug 1021375] Re: Nautilus says the USB stick is read only when it is not
@h23 if you are seeing the same behaviour in the terminal the Nautilus is not the problem. Your USB is write protected or your computer is picking it up like that for some reason. You can insert the USB Stick and then run: dmesg | tail To see the system log. There you can see if the write protection is turned on. If you see something like `Write Protect is off`then you should be okay, otherwise the USB Stick is protected.

I observe a variant of this bug in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS 64-bit (4.4.0-71-generic #92-Ubuntu): In Nautilus 3.14.3, an auto-mounted partition on a local drive is read-only (no issues before, nothing changed with the system (hardware) configuration). In addition, if I open files with apps (gedit, ...) from Nautilus by double click, I cannot save changes. The variant is this: Even if I use now the terminal, the drive is read- only (I cannot create files -- touch: cannot touch 'test.txt': Read-only file system -- or save changes when editing files). Workaround: I can still change content using the terminal or Krusader by remounting the partition, i.e. sudo mount -o remount,rw '/media// However, as soon as I go to the mount directory in Nautilus, it seems to be read-only again, so no chance to change contents.

[Bug 1021375] Re: Nautilus says the USB stick is read only when it is not
I had the exact same problem as described but I am using Arch Linux. I made a simple uninstall with pacman -Rcsn. I know this isn't the same command for ubuntu but just use apt-get autoremove and make sure to add the option that also removes all configuration files. Some times some files are still there. In my case it was in my home folder under .config/nautilus and .local/nautilus both for my user and root. To be sure you have deleted everything I suggest using the command: "find|grep nautilus" under both root and your home to make sure all files are deleted. After that I installed nautilus again. Maybe make a full restart before but I didn't have to. I use Gnome 3 on Arch Linux so hope this maybe apply to you as my discovery makes me think that it might be a fault with configuration files. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, 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 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nautilus/+bug/1021375/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 1021375] Re: Nautilus says the USB stick is read only when it is not
It occurred for me yesterday for the first time ever. I have Dell XPS netbook running 64bit 16.04, upgraded from 14.04. Been using Ubuntu for many many years on many machines, never seen this before. Symptoms: With one of my thumb-drives, I could copy/move files in terminal without any problems, but Nautilus complained about the drive being read-only. Interestingly, using Nautilus, I could still delete files I copied using terminal. Today the bug doesn't occur with the same thumb-drive. Thumb drive is not brand new (1~2 years old), but there are no problems with it as far as I can see.

[Bug 1021375] Re: Nautilus says the USB stick is read only when it is not
I too have the nautilus read-only misbehavior on the very latest 12.04LTS (x86_64) system and have the following observations, including a simple-enough workaround since running into this problem quite a while back I can cause the false read-only behavior on demand by first inserting a read-only USB flash such as a camera's Secure Digital card with the lock switch thrown, via an SD card reader. But after removing/unmounting that read-only SD card, *every* subsequent insertion of a normally-writable USB flash drive then gets the above- reported symptoms: its considered read-only by nautilus yet a cp command from the shell to the USB media works fine which shows the system mounted it correctly for writing. As I believe someone mentioned earlier, it must be that the nautilus state is contaminated/broken under some scenarios. My intentional read- only flash drive method is just one solid way to cause that broken behavior hangover. So my workaround is When I encounter this false read-only, I simply unmount/remove the removable device(s), close any windows using nautilus, and then I do a killall nautilus from the shell (I always see a non-window nautilus whose parent is pid 1 with my user id, presumably this is the thing with the broken state that I kill). After that, reinserting the very USB drive which falsely received the read-only error will now work properly. I can drag things onto the drive using the fresh instance of nautilus that is launched.. Its a shame that after more than 2 years, on a claimed LTS system, I have yet to see even a we aren't going to bother fixing this one response from the Ubuntu folks on this bug report.

On this basis, I'm raising the importance because this seems to me like a major usability issue. ** Changed in: nautilus (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = High -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, 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 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1021375/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 1021375] Re: Nautilus says the USB stick is read only when it is not
I to have the same problem! I have tried 2 diferent USB sticks nothing can be saved to them. Either by drag drop or saving from a text editor (JuffEd Gedit) or even OpenOfice. One of the USB sticks did let me moove a file when I firs got it but it stoped after I plged it into my Android. I can open the USB sticks in Windows! chaing the permissions. But I am completly locked out with Ubuntu. Is pluging the USB sticks into other OS's leaving a cooky that Ubuntu is objecting to?

[Bug 1021375] Re: Nautilus says the USB stick is read only when it is not
I have the read-only bug under a slightly different condition: Its not a external USB-Stick but a remounted partition. For security reasons I have an archive partition which is mounted read- only at startup of the notebook. When I mount the partition afterwards in readwrite-mode then nautilus tells me, the partition is still read- only. But all other tools, commandline etc. works fine. So it seems to me, this bug has something to do with in-memory cached directory information in nautilus. Maybe this information gets cleared during logout/login, so it is not the observed line in the .config but the process of relogon which solves this problem? I have this effect since at least two years and with different versions of ubuntu. For sure with 12.04, 13.04, 13.10 and all updates between them. For me this bug is allways fully reproducible. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, 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 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1021375/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Using 13:10. This is super super annoying bug. Will drive far away any windows user trying to use Ubuntu, for sure. Please fix this soon. I can copy files using Terminal as normal user.

[Bug 1021375] Re: Nautilus says the USB stick is read only when it is not
Just happened to me all of a sudden (eg, have not observed this problem on 12.04 or 13.04 until today, but haven't used a USB stick for 2+ weeks). Unity desktop; Files 3.6.3 (whatever that is) produces a popup stating that target is read-only, which it isn't, of course. The config file identified in post #22 contains the line indicated there... ; (gtk_accel_path Actions/ExtensionsMenuGroup/DejaDupNautilusExtension::restore_missing_item ) But it looks as though it is supposed to be there.
