    [DESKTOP] NTFS partitions suddenly became read-only

    Hello guys.

    The title is the exact problem. I've been using Ubuntu for a long time on my single desktop PC alongside Windows and never encountered such issue until Focal.

    I encountered the same thing while using Ubuntu MATE 20.04 a while back--after using for a couple of days the NTFS partitions suddenly turned read-only. This came to my eyes while I was using qbittorrent and it suddenly reported an I/O error due to read-only file system. Now on Kubuntu I've faced this issue for the second time.

    Has anyone else faced such? How should I go around it?

    I only have 1 NTFS partition on my desktop computer - Windows 7.
    Every time I have mounted it with Dolphin (by hand) so far the permissions are 777 and nothing has changed since the Kubuntu 20.04 installation.

    Do you use the automount settings in System Settings or entries in fstab to mount your NTFS partition(s)?
    Perhaps there something has been changed?

    get rid of Snap script (20.04 +) • reinstall Snap for release-upgrade script (20.04 +)
    install traditional Firefox script (22.04 +)​ • install traditional Thunderbird script (24.04)​

      If you are dual booting windows 8 or 10 with fast startup enabled it will cause this exact read only behavior. Fix: https://www.linuxuprising.com/2019/0...n-mounted.html

        Windows Fast Startup and Linux have not had much of a friendship - ever.

          Fast startup is not the issue here. Strangely enough, the problem seems to have solved itself (or so it seems for now).

            And you didn't have to put your hand on the monitor and shout "HEAL!"

            (I jokingly did that one time when responding to a clerk's complaint about my software. Her problem immediately disappeared. No joke. Probably static electricity caused it and cured it)

              I'll bet that did no harm to your reputation as a software designer...

                I've done sort of the "please heal, become okay" type of thing many times, on many occasions!
