I have just switched from Mac OS X to Ubuntu. The mac I'm using is macbook pro 2012. Ubuntu will not allow me to move files (folders, music, pdfs, etc.) from my usb stick to the desktop. When I attempt to drag and drop the files from the usb onto the desktop, the files just bounce back into the usb folder.
I'm new to Linux, how can I solve this?
nautilus
so it was more likely using that, so where did you attempt to drag from? and to? did you get any error message? Did you look in logs for clues? (dmesg
for example), and what release are you using? (recent release(s) needsudo
to readdmesg
)
