I just had this problem occur again, I am using 12.04 (still). I also got it tp work correctly, here is what worked for me (YMMV). I am not sure all these step are required, but the combination fixed my problem.
1- sudo chmod 755 /media (this was recommended with -R option, but I did not want that as my raid is mounted under /media) 2- cd 3- mv .config/nautilus .config/nautilus.bak (the net effect is a new nautilus desktop file is created, for me the delta was deletion of "nautilus-icon-view-auto-layout=true" and a change to the nautilus-icon-view-layout-timestamp value) 4- remove media if it happens to be in 5- logout 6- login 7- insert media and test Good luck. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1021375 Title: Nautilus says the USB stick is read only when it is not To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1021375/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
