Ubuntu read only file system USB pendrive problem

Solution 1

Run this command to kill Nautilus (Files):

killall nautilus

Solution 2

Format using Gparted. That wiped all data in the disk and it turns out it also fixed the problem. 

Solution 3

When you attach your USB key to your laptop:

• run sudo -i (so that you won't type your password all the time)
• run df -Th(to see where your USB stick is mounted)
• unmount your USB stick
• run dosfsck on the device you saw from your previous command. Example: dosfsck /dev/sdc1
• remove and reattach your USB stick
