[SOLVED] USB stick automounts but cannot change Read Write permissions

[gold_finger]

Are you saying that you (main user) can read and write to the USB, but others can not?

Or are you trying to change permissions with the "chown" or "chmod" commands?

With a FAT formatted USB there shouldn't be any problems reading/writing to it.  Linux permissions don't apply to FAT formatted devices.  Does the USB stick itself have some kind of write protection feature that can be turned on/off?  Maybe that's what is happening.

With USB stick plugged-in and auto-mounted, open a terminal and post back with output of these two commands if still having problems:

Code:

ls -l /media
ls -l /media/yourusername

(Change "yourusername" to your actual username.)
