about the original report: VFAT permissions are a mount option (and AFAIK udev sets those correctly in Ubuntu ?).
--- about comment #2: The default menu option uses the following command: gksu --description /usr/share/applications/synaptic.desktop /usr/sbin/synaptic That should do the same as using sudo. Are you sure you didn't change the menu entries yourself or something like that? Or maybe you have some non-standard gksu/sudo/etc. configuration? -- New mounted fat32 partition is not writeable for non-root users https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/132906 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
