View Full Version : [ubuntu] Did 10.10 change file permissions/NTFS/External drives?

Just upgraded to 10.10. A functioning, executable script I had on an NTFS external USB drive is now longer executable unless run as Sudo. I have tried chmod +x which completes without error but ls -l still gives the file as
"
-rw------- 2 nick nick 340 2010-12-09 16:23 backupscript.sh
"

Has something important changed that I need to act on? (Do I need to review etc/fstab for example?)

Thanks for any advice.

Hi,

Same here. Seems to be a bug:

Solution: umount/mount manually specifying the exec flag, or format drive as ext4.
