Are you trying to write to a CD ?

Just check the permission of the path in which you are trying to write to.

Use:
ls al /path/here

What is /media/1E2AB0A82ECB5AF8?

USB/ CD drive ?

Usually user will be able to write to /home/user only.

To change permissions of say /xyz

#su
<passwd>
#chown --recursive <username> /xyz

./xyz

I'm not sure what ./xyz means. Once in the dir concerned you might try mkdir -m 775 heapmuchtrouble but I would read the results of 'man mkdir' first.

Sounds like read only device. Try

Code:

cat /etc/fstab



cat /etc/mnttab

I don't see anything in your /etc/fstab file that mounts /media/1E2AB0A82ECB5AF8 automatically. Did you manually mount this volume? If so, how?

For /etc/mnttab, you may need to be root.
Should show an alternative version of the output from 'mount'
Also, according to this https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...mnttab-855387/ it could be /etc/mtab, depending on distro

Yes, I mount a partition manually by click on name of partition in naultilus window-manager.
why this problem occured for me?

What you have is an NTFS file system mounted with the kernel's built-in rudimentary NTFS module. That module does not support writing. What you need to do is find and install the "ntfs-3g" package for your (unspecified) Linux distribution. That package contains a userspace implementation of the NTFS file system.
