I have Ubuntu 12.04.
My problem is, I can't get write access to any USB device, like thumbdrive, SD card or digital camera using GNOME 3.4.1.

Both FAT32 and NTFS filesystems won't work.

From terminal I can create files without any problems...

But when I do this same from GNOME file explorer:  "The destination is read-only":

And /media:


root@alan-OEM:/media# ls -l
total 12
drwx------ 26 alan alan 8192 sty  1  1970 CC2A-FA36


("alan" is my account.)
It looks like like I have read-write-execute.

So from terminal:


alan@alan-OEM:/media/CC2A-FA36$ mkdir zzz
alan@alan-OEM:/media/CC2A-FA36$ mkdir zzzz


drwx------  2 alan alan     4096 lip  1 22:49 zzz
drwx------  2 alan alan     4096 lip  1 22:49 zzzz


Work great... but from GNOME I can't....
It's making me crazy...


Question: MS-Access VBA Date() works on one PC but not others
Answer: I suspect the issue is user's region and language settings for the date. I noticed this when I changed computers and my files wouldn't save anymore due to the slashes in the date. You should try the format() function so that your dates always have the same format and can be used across machines independent of the user's settings.

Sub Foo()
    Debug.Print Date
    Debug.Print format(Date, "yyyy-mm-dd")    
End Sub
