Binary package hint: kubuntu-desktop
1) mount a USB drive that contains an executable script or binary
2) attempt to run/execute that script or binary program
3) cry
It seems that USB drives are not mounted with execute permissions. This may be intentional, but it's definitely not the expected behavior and seems to have some very undesirable consequences as myself and many on the #kubuntu channel have come across this issue and spent a few hours trying to figure out the cause.
I asked if anyone in #ubuntu was having the same issue and I got no response, so I assume it's just a kubuntu issue. |

kubuntu-meta: statusexplanation |

Closing kubuntu-meta, this isn't a kubuntu-meta issue. I have multiple ext3 usb sticks and my 500gb drive is external usb that I can execute and do whatever from, so I cannot confirm, however I will confirm due to the responses, I just need to find out what would be the problem behind this. |

I am assigning this to pmount as the issues everyone here is reporting seems to be with external/usb devices in which pmount wraps around the standard mount app for devices without matchind /etc/fstab entries.
I apologize if this is the incorrect package, but the *-meta packages I felt were incorrect as I am able to do what they are saying they can't w/o any issues. |
