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.
