I'ts the same problem for me. I'm using a USB hard drive (Fantom Drives, Green Drive, 1TB)
I even formatted the drive using Ubuntu 12.04 itself. That is, in Unity Launcher on leftside, I right-clicked the drive icon and selected Format. I did tests using both EXT4 and FAT32. Same results. As I type this Ubuntu 12.04 "Backup" has no problems writing to the drive. I have no problem writing to the drive in the Terminal. If I open Gedit and save to the drive, no problem... But, anything I try in Nautilus (Create New Folder, Drag & Drop Copy) gives the error: "The destination is read-only." -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to 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 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
