Hi.
Does anyone know why is there a red cross on the icon here?
This device is a Corsair USB flash drive. I initially thought it may be because the data was corrupted as there were a couple of years where it remained unconnected and I know SSD does not like that. But I formatted the drive (ExFAT) and it still shows up with a red cross in Nemo file manager.
Any idea what this actually means?
Thanks for any insight.
for me it looks like the icon is broken, if there’s no other warning i’m sure the volume is working fine
What desktop?
I assumed that’s the “no icon” placeholder for Gnome. I saw it around as well.
What desktop environment are you using?
It may be just the selection of the current drive you’re in? Does it show an x on another drive when you select it?
Thanks for responding, but no, I have 3 devices plugged in at the moment and the icons don’t change regardless of which one I have selected. This is the only one with an ‘x’ icon. It doesn’t appear to prevent me from using it, but I’m unsure if it’s indicative of an issue with the device itself. Maybe it just means it isn’t a recognised device. Kind of wish Nemo had tooltips or something.
Is it read only?
chatGPT says it’s a permission error or a mount error. What if you try “sudo nemo” to check the icon?
