Why is my OS in read-only mode?

Asked By CuriousCat42 On

I'm having an issue with my operating system being in read-only mode. Whenever I try to create files, I'm getting a message that it's read-only. I was playing Minecraft when an error popped up about saving, and now I can't seem to regain my permissions. The exact error says: "mkdir: cannot create directory 'cat': Read-only file system." Any advice on how to fix this?

You're on Fedora 42, right? That could shed some light on your issue. It might involve permissions or a specific setting in that distro. Have you checked if other directories are affected or just the ones you were trying to use? It might help to run a few diagnostics to determine the root cause.

Yeah, mentioning your distro is really helpful! Have you tried running a command like `fsck`? It can check and repair filesystems, and might help get you back to normal. Just make sure to do this when you're not booted into the affected partition, usually from a live USB.

Make sure to provide more details about your system! What distro are you using? Also, since you mentioned playing Minecraft, it's worth checking that the game didn't cause your filesystem to mount as read-only. Sometimes, if there was an unexpected shutdown, this can happen. You might need to reboot your system or run a filesystem check to resolve the issue.
