Permission Issue

pacchiee · **Posted:** Sun Aug 31, 2008 6:16 am

When logged in as 'user', the storage devices become read only! If I launch thunar as 'root' then it gives all rights. The user has membership for floppy,audio,video,cdrom,fuse,plugdev,scanner. But still when I insert a USB storage device or a CD/DVD and access them as user, everything is read only.

Am not able to figure out what exactly should be done to solve this problem. Is this a mere permission issue? How to solve it? Please help.

Mind changing its owner ship to you accnt with chown?

pacchiee · **Posted:** Sun Aug 31, 2008 7:19 am

Am new to Linux altogether, so don't know much about executing commands from terminal. Here is what I did:

Code:

chown -hR username /media/discname

No success. The files on the CD are still read only and I see a lock on the CD and each of its containing folders and files.

Even to me, its the same. But still i can read them and copy them. And even use Brasero to write info to a empty disc. So i wonder what else u r looking for? The locks are shown probably coz they are not modifiable since its read only.

And comming to USB, can you create new files onto it? And use chown for where it gets mounted. Not for the device.

Recently i did this way for all my mounted drivers: chown -R zenwalker:users /mnt/*
And it worked.

Btw, u seems from India? Bangalore? right? Your status say so. Me 2

I can copy data from CD/DVD/USB device to the user desktop. But I cannot add new files into my pen-drive. It said

Quote:

Failed to copy "source/file" to "target/file".
Failed to open "target/file" for writing (Read-only file system).
Do you want to skip it?

I did not try Brasero to write data into CD/DVD though.

Yeah! Am born, brought-up and living in Bengaluru, India (the then Bangalore). Nice to find a few from the Silicon City around (you are the second, other I found was rayraven).

CDs and DVDs are read-only mediums. You can't write to them with your file manager. You need specific software (like brasero) to do that and then again, if you write something once and finalize the disc, you can't write to them again.

gapan,

The above error I posted was for a pen-drive (USB storage device).

Well it didn't seem like it:

Anyway, what filesystem does your pendrive have? Can you show us what

Code:

mount

Code:

df -h

and

Code:

dmesg

show after you plug it in?

Gapan,

Even once with Brasero i had a problem. I poped in an empty cd, Zenwalk mounted it on to desktop icon. I didnt open it with Thunar any way. So i launched Brasero and tried to write data into that cd, but it was giving some permission problem. So i umounted it from desktop (right click and umount) then brasero was able to write contents into that cd at same next moment.

gapan, here is what you asked for:

Code:

 mount
/dev/sdb1 on / type xfs (rw,noatime)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw)
/dev/sdb5 on /home type xfs (rw,noatime)
/dev/sda1 on /fat-c type vfat (rw)
/dev/sda5 on /fat-e type vfat (rw)
/dev/sdc on /media/disk type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal,shortname=winnt,iocharset=utf8,uid=1000)

guess /dev/sdc is my pendrive.

Code:

df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sdb1             8.6G  2.3G  6.4G  27% /
/dev/sdb5              27G   44M   27G   1% /home
/dev/sda1             8.8G  3.6G  5.3G  40% /fat-c
/dev/sda5             9.9G  7.4G  2.6G  75% /fat-e
/dev/sdc              1.9G  870M  1.1G  46% /media/disk

Oh yes! /dev/sdc is the pendrive, its a 2GB storage device actually.

Zenwalk addict, yes, we shall try to do out best in contributing to Zenwalk. Am thinking of translating Zenwalk to our language, Kannada. There are many more whom I know here from in and around our place but they haven't mentioned their location. Hope to pick more of them in the future.

Great. But is really worth translating to our langaugage? How many of them do really use that option or atleast prefer to see all UI's and other stuffs in the local language? If u ask me, i am more comfy with english itself, that doesnt mean that i dislike my mom tounge, but comfy with english itself

So first we gotta see if its really useful, then i dont have any issue in translating this great beast to our local language

I think this is what which is making Zen to mount USB stick in read only format. Is ur USB is FAT32 or older? Why not convert it to NTFS (if u really want to), lately even i had got a usb stick which is off 4GB. It was on NTFS FS, so Zen did mount it write and read perms.

Yes, these invalid cluster chains are probably the reason. Maybe they can be sorted with a reformat, or maybe your pendrive is slowly dying...
