when I open some application (google chrome, libre office writter) in my linux mint KDE 18.2, my hard disk becomes write protected,I could not create,modify or download a file. It shows message like
"/home/akasnil/.config/trash.sorc" not writable.Please contact your system administrator.
how to solve this?? P.s. I've tried the similar solution given here but it did not work & I'm a newbie in this platform.
1What does
dmesg
or/var/log/syslog
say? If your entire partition had some sort of error it could switch to being read-only, checkmount
and see if it'srw
orro
. And check the permissions of the file,ls -la
should do it. – Xen2050 – 2017-08-21T11:47:46.4771
Same thoughts. If there is an error, HDD file systems are typically remounted R/O to prevent further damage. So, you could have some kind of error occurring when you read these files. Install smartmontools to get an idea of the health status of your HDD.
