This laptop has one hard disk with two partitions. One of them has a bunch of data. I can’t delete the data at all, dolphin(the file manager) gives a “not enough permissions error”. When I try to delete stuff with rm it displays this:
rm: cannot remove ‘filename’: Read-only file system
What do I do?
EDIT: I backed up the data and reformatted the partition. This completely broke my install and fedora wouldn’t open at all. I popped in a live USB, backed up some other stuff and I am reinstalling fedora right now (writing this from the live installer :P)
Best way IMHO is copy all the files to another disk, double check and then format the partition into your favourite filesystem, and copy everything back. NTFS can be a bit of trouble.
That is the “low tech”; works 100% of the time; will make your live easier in the future solution.
It takes longer than remounting but getting rid of a NTFS drive in a Linux only environment is a good move.
