How to fix read only file error

Pc showing read only file error. How to fix it

Hi Akshansh,

I’m happy to help you with this, but I’ll need more information about the error. Which file are you trying to change? Which applications are you using?

Ah, thanks for the reference @LeandroStanger

@Akshansh_Rawat after reading the other comment thread it appears that your hard drive is physically damaged. Endless OS will make the entire thing read only in order to protect your data from any further loss, but there is nothing the OS can do to fix this problem. You will need to contact Acer to get the harddrive replaced.

Thank you
Everyone Every one here is truly helpful

how do i fix read only error thanks

Something that would help us a lot to understand the problem would be this:

  1. Open the application called ‘Terminal’
  2. In this application run the command:

eos-diagnostics

  1. The above command will create a file with the information of your system (example: eos-diagnostic-160614_111731_UTC + 0100.txt); Send us this file so we can analyze and see a possible solution

/sysroot/home/acer/eos-diagnostic-180815_195826_UTC+0800.txt

Send us this file so we can analyze and see a possible solution
