I have Ubuntu 17.04 on my Asus laptop.

After login I cannot write anything to /dev/sda6

It tells me that the disk is in read-only mode:

How can I fix it?

    Is that an NTFS partition?

  • What is the result of ls -ld . when you are in this directory? Jun 27, 2017 at 8:39
  • @Zanna yes it's NTFS ... Jun 27, 2017 at 8:39
  • @Romeo Ninov drwxrwxrwx 1 ahmed ahmed 8192 Jun 27 01:02 . Jun 27, 2017 at 8:40
  • you cant access that partition because windows already mounted it, reset your laptop properly, since windows 8+, windows just suspends the disks when you click "shutdown" thats how they improved the rapid launch when turning on the computers, so go to windows and restart the computer dont shutdown Jun 27, 2017 at 8:44

If the NTFS drives are mounting as read-only, its probably because Ubuntu thinks their filesystems are unclean, probably due to hibernation, or a damaged file system. Do this...

In Windows...

  • boot into Windows
  • open the Power control panel
  • choose change what the power buttons do
  • choose change options that are unavailable
  • uncheck fast startup
  • close the Power control panel
  • open an administrative command prompt window
  • type powercfg /h off
  • type chkdsk /f c:
  • approve to run chkdsk at next reboot
  • reboot into Windows to let chkdsk run on drive C:
