Ubuntu

No cut-paste of file/folder with other HDD partitions

Asked by Navin Talati

I am unable to cut-paste any folder or file to other partition of a separate hdd within the system. Neither it happens vice-e-versa.
I have kept data partitions on separate hdds.
The ubuntu 20.04 freshly installed has the newest version (1:3.36.3-0ubuntu1) of nautilus.
Is/Are some package/s missing to make this facility of transfer (i.e. cut-paste) of data able?
Please guide.
Reards.

How do you try the cut/paste action?

with the menu entry edit - cut
with right mouse button end selecting cut from the pop-up
with keyboard short-cuts (like ctrl-x, ctrl-v)
by mouse-drag
or ... ?

Does this action do nothing, or does it copy (and not move), do you get any message, etc.?
Do you have read and write access to the files/directories to move and the directories above?

Details please!

Now it has started working.
I can cut-paste or copy-paste files and folders from any partition of any hdd to any partition or hdd.
Thanks & regards. Sir.

Again the problem appeared.
I am unable to cut-paste or copy-paste any file or folder from one partition to another of different hdd as described above. Paste remain/show disabled upon right click.
Is there any tweak to activate or deactivate these operation in settings?
How to resolve this issue?

Can you create a file on the target drive? (e.g. with a command like "touch /target/directory/path/file.name")
Maybe there was some error that the file system was re-mounted readonly.
In that case a reboot may help.

Are there an messages about disk problems in dmesg?

 I did Login from Ubuntu 20.04 (a separate HHD) and activity from its Desktop (...say A for reference location)
The Target Folder/Partition/HDD, (- this is 50 GB SSD with Windows 10 OS) – it Desktop (...say B for reference location) folder is selected for performing copy-paste / cut-paste etc.
Upon R-Clicking, :
(a)
1. “New Folder” and “Paste” shows Disabled.
2. “Select All”, “Properties” and “Open in terminal” shows Enabled.
(b)
In “Properties” when I change to “Create and delet files” in all the Three (Owner, Group, Others), it is not allowing or making “New Folder” and “Paste” Enabled. And that change does not persist when I open “Change Permissions for Enclosed Files”. It shows “Read-only” and “Access files” in “Others”
(c)
Have I to do anything in “Local Network Share” ?
(d)
There is no option of creating a file drectly on Desktop (B). - this is because input of actvity is feed through Ubuntu Desktop(A).

When I create some new file on Desktop (A), and try to save it through “Save as” on Desktop (B), it shows intimation/popup/warning saying ....
”Error saving the document: Object not accessible. The object can not e accessed due to insufficient user rights.”

Thus it seems here is some problem related to “Permission” but I don’t know how to reset/resolve it.

Repeating my request from above: Are there any messages about disks and file systems in dmesg?

Instead of calling them A and B you had better used the real names (probably something like /dev/sda3) and you better add diagnostic information like
uname -a
lab_release -crid
mount
sudo fdisk -l

Is this a dual boot system with Windows, and the partition where you cannot write is the main partition from your Windows system?
In this case the problem is most probably caused by the Windows hybrid shutdown status. If you have fast startup enabled in your Windows system (which nowadays is the default), shutting down Windows keeps the Windows file systems in an "in use" status and Ubuntu will refuse to mount them in read/write mode.

see e.g. https://askubuntu.com/questions/145902/unable-to-mount-windows-ntfs-filesystem-due-to-hibernation

Sir,

1,
Your prediction mentioned in #6 stands right.i.e. ".............In this case the problem is most probably caused by the Windows hybrid shutdown status. If you have fast startup enabled in your Windows system (which nowadays is the default), shutting down Windows keeps the Windows file systems in an "in use" status and Ubuntu will refuse to mount them in read/write mode....."

As per reference: https://www.asus.com/support/FAQ/1045548/, I disabled the "Fast Startup" from my Windows 10 hdd, and now I can easily transfer my files from Ubuntu HDD partitions to Windows 10 hdd partitions.

2.
On applying stuff "dmesg" in terminal, it gives very very large output but due to my limitations of computer knowledge, I am unable to understand. some lines in RED colour appears but what it implies,,,? --that I am not understanding.

3.
You are right that Instead of calling them A and B , I should better use the real names of partitions and HDDs. That I will brief out as condensed information and will refer as that in future. Presently my A and B matter is resolved by disabling the "Fast Startup" from my Windows 10 hdd.

4.
Terminal output of your suggested ( i.e. 1. uname -a, 2. lab_release -crid, 3. mount, & 4. sudo fdisk -l ) stuffs is as under:

1. Sorry for my typo error. You have correctly identified that the command should have been lsb_release.

2. The warnings "Partition xy does not start on physical sector boundary." are not blocking usage of the disk.
They are a warning that the layout is not optimal which might slow down disk access a little bit.
In case that you want to correct this: changing this requires a complete restructuring of the disk layout including backup and restore of all data.
Just do a web search for that message and you will get lots of hits.

Sir,
Again the same/similar problem is arised.

My one hdd contains Ubuntu 20.04 LTS as OS and the second hdd contains Windows 10 as OS. Since years I was able to move my files and folders between different HDDs. It is normal that booting the system in UBUNTU avails this facility and we can view and transfer any files or folders from from Ubuntu to Windows sides or from one HDD to another HDD whatever OS it contains, or may be simply Data HDD wirthout any OS.

Now, the present problem is raised after installing the Windows 10 as OS as a replacement of previously used Windows 7. Upon disabling Fast/Quick Start in Windows 10, the matter was resolved, but again the same issue happens. Fast/Quick Start in Windows 10 is still disabled.

I am a computer's non-technical, so may not be able to even represent the question/problem in an appropriate terms, but what happens is "am nerrating as under:

(1).
From Ubuntu hdd side, I can CUT or COPY any file or folder but CAN NOT PASTE on Windows 10 hdd side
(i.e. I mean PASTE remain Disabled on Win-10 side).
(2).
From Windows 10 hdd side, I can only COPY any file or folder and PASTE on Ubuntu hdd side, but can not CUT from Windows 10 hdd side (i.e. I mean CUT remains Disabled on Win-10 side).

I did lots of surfing along with my knowledge-limitation, and also tried the tweaks and tricks etc, but could not succeed...!

I need your valuable help so that I can achieve the previous situation - i.e. which was before installing Windows 10.

Regards.

For diagnostic purposes you should try finding out whether the "windows hdd" (which one is it?) is mounted in read-only mode, and if yes, why this is the case.

What is the output of the commands

mount
dmesg | grep -E sd[bcde]

Sir,
Sorry for delay in providing needed information. The problem still persists. Required and requested information is as under with the references;

Ref:#10

1.
There are TWO hard drives as under:

sda = 250 GB HDD ---> Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
Partitions are: [ (sda1 /boot 3 GB) + (sda2 / 140 GB) + sda3 swap 7 GB) + sda4 extended partition as sda5 100 GB) ]

sdb = 240 GB SSD ---> Windows 10

Normally system is operated through Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (so it is identified as “sda”)

2.
How can I find that "windows hdd" (i.e. sdb) is mounted in read-only mode? AND How to get it mounted

Using “Disks” app, I can see that all the partitions of sda shows “Mounted at” at respective type of partition. But all the partitions of sdb (i.e. of Windows 10 ssd) shows “Not Mounted”. I think this may be the culprit, but I do not know how to make them “Mounted”?

Actually I afraid to make any change in “Disks” app whether it may disturb my whole system. So without proper guidance, it is difficul for me to change somthing!

3.
The OUTPUT of the commands “mount” and “dmesg | grep -E sd[bcde]” are as under:

Your last output does not fit to the previous ones.
In comment #7 you have five disks, but now there are only two.
I am sorry, but I do not understand what you are doing and so I cannot help.

Sir,

To make the machine's configuration simple, I removed all other data hdds and has kept only TWO hard drives bearing operating systems. Then updated the grub. After that I have obtained the output as per #12

My question regarding "No cut-paste of file/folder with other HDD partitions" is mainly between these TWO existing hard drives only. With other hard drives it happens, so it is removed - just to make a simple system and shell keep it till the problem solves.

So please help me.

Regards.

In the output in comment #12 the partitions on the sdb disk are not mounted at all.
They need to be mounted to be accessible.
Have you ever read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions ?

Can you help with this problem?
