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 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 [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
