Can't copy or erase files on USB flash Drive

[larbac]

Hi

As the title says, after I updated to KDE 4.6.5, I can't erase files on the flash drive or copy files into it.
I have tried to reinstall Dolphin and installed Krusader, but I get the same error.

What can this be?

Thanks

You don't have permission to create, edit or erase files on that stick.

Start dolphin using
kdesudo dolphin
in a konsole and try it.

Yup. You can run dolphin as root from a konsole (kdesudo dolphin) and select the USB stick and globally change the group and owner for it using the "Properties" dialog on dolphin. You can also do it from the konsole without using dolphin using chgrp and chown. (Use man to learn how).
