@vanvugt "Sorry, this bug is quite confused in its definition.
Is the requirement to simply access USB via some file manager in Unity8, or " Yes. Exactly. I have been testing unity8 all through the xenial/yakkety cycles when it first became available as a technical preview. I have been testing unity8+mir since it's inception on again/off again. The inability of nautilus (or any USB related app) to read/write files from USB directly from the unity8 desktop really cripples one's ability to keep a viable testing work-flow going. This also includes Libertine container fails. As I mentioned at ubuntuforums we currently have to use unity7 as a backdoor to install audio/video files. Another example (as I continue to experiment with Libertine) is that there is no way to restore an ISO to a USB stick unless we log off, go to ubuntu-desktop, log in and use 'disks' or mkusb there. This has been a systemic problem.. even during testing ubuntu_personal.img I am not sure if you developers have been able to circumvent this problem but there are certainly problems at Development Version Testing. Is there an existing tool we can use? Regards..
