Reformatting removable media to a Unix/Linux filesystem is not a viable solution.
Most media sold and used is in the FAT (or NTSF) format. Whether changing the mount options would make a difference is questionable. It seems a reasonable approach would be to have Ubuntu check if the media is FAT and if so have a click-able option for execute permission and ignore any execute bit or lack thereof. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/805298 Title: Apps on removable media (FAT formatted) cannot be given execute permission To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/udisks/+bug/805298/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
