Luis and Rishi:

Please excuse my quick/generic answers: I'm tired, it's late, and I still have work to do...

This reminded me of something on OS X: If you do a 'Get Info' on an
attached storage device there is the option (tick box) to ignore the ownership permissions on the device. There may be a general setting for attached storage devices in Ubuntu, or similar option on one of the property tabs once the device is attached. Gnome has been enhanced with added management features, so this may be one of them.
Might need to look see if plugdev has group membership.

Can you get it to work as root?

In fstab, is it mounted with 'auto' or does it display the correct filesystem type?

Does it work in 6.0.6 LTS? I've had some issues with 6.10 and USB...

------------------------------------
1. Wherever I find options for changing permissions, if I set them they get 
turned off.
2. "Plugdev"? That one's got me.
3. Root doesn't help.
4. Nothing appears in fstab at all!
5. 6.0.6 is fine. The trouble is with Feisty Fawn Herd 5 - running from the 
Live CD.

As root user on terminal you could try:
chmod +x /media/KINGSTON/Revolution/revolution.x86
or
chmod 777 /media/KINGSTON/Revolution/revolution.x86

-----------------------------------
No luck I'm afraid.

This bug (?) has been assigned to someone in Ubuntu. I'll send him an e-mail 
tomorrow.

Nighty-night.

Bob
