I upgraded one of my computers to Ubuntu 17. I wanted to copy some files in a pendrive from that computer to my personal notebook, and I had a problem because Ubuntu said that the pendrive was in read only mode. I plkugged and unplugged, I formatted it again in FAT and NTFS, but nothing changed. I also executed chownand tryed all the solutions in: USB devices showing a read only

But it is telling me the same. I am desperate, I really need to copy some heavy files soon and I don't have Windows to properly format the pendrive. Now it is not working properly in other computers...

Can you help me, please?

  • Who owns the drive? If you use nautilus to open the drive, right click, and select properties -> permissions, who shows as owner – brndn2k Apr 16 '17 at 03:27
  • @brndn2k it says "moi" (me). There are two combos and I can change the 'group' and 'others' permissions to 'read and write', but if I close such window those options go back to 'just read' – gal007 Apr 16 '17 at 03:53
