From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

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.
The correct answer is no 🙅♀️
for me it looks like the icon is broken, if there's no other warning i'm sure the volume is working fine
I reckon this is probably what the issue is. Maybe it's of a device type where an icon wasn't created or where some reference to the icon's image is broken. Thank you.
I assumed that's the "no icon" placeholder for Gnome. I saw it around as well.
What desktop environment are you using?
What desktop?
Is it read only?
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.
