I installed Kubuntu 11.10, but after that my Buffalo extarnal hard drive is read-only. What should I do to change it back to "normal"? I didn't find working method elsewhere... Thank you!

Need more information. What is the external HD formatted as? Do you have it connected 'all the time'?Using Kubuntu Linux since March 23, 2007

Easy enough fix then.
With the external drive connected (obviously ), access it via Dolphin and then open a console (alt+F4). You will be in the 'root' directory of the mounted HD. Type:
Code:sudo chown -R user:user *
Code:sudo chown -R paul:paul *
