Just bought a 1TB Element USB disk. I have several before and have had no problems. I have no problem using the new disk when connected to my laptop running ubuntu 18.04. Here

Here is the partition table (GPT) (parted) print Model: WD Elements 2621 (scsi) Disk /dev/sda: 1000GB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: gpt Disk Flags: Number Start End Size File system Name Flags 1 1049kB 1000GB 1000GB ntfs Elements msftdata

However, when I connect it to a desktop running a newly installed Ubuntu 22.04, the disk does not automount. As you can see below, I can mount it but no more: I get the information that the filesystem is read only and that I have no permissions for anything, like this:

$ sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /media/bjorn $ ls /media/bjorn ls: cannot open directory '/media/bjorn': Permission denied $ sudo ls -al /media/bjorn total 208 dr-x------ 1 root root 4096 jul 2 17:32 . drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 jul 1 20:44 .. -r-------- 1 root root 202463 jul 2 17:32 TM-taket.jpg $ sudo chmod 1755 /media/bjorn chmod: changing permissions of '/media/bjorn': Read-only file system $ sudo su

chmod +r /media/bjorn

What can I do? Make a new label and reformat?
