Read-only file randomly

I use my Ubuntu PC as a Server to host a Minecraft Server and other stuff developed by me. I noticed frequent crashes of the Minecraft Server that made me look further into the error. When I opened any folder any file inside of it has Cut, Rename and Delete options disabled.

I tried running FSCK from the terminal. That found some errors and fixed it, upon rebooting it btw files were switched again in Read-Only after 10 minutes.

fsck

Initially, I was thinking at HDD problem, looked at SMART info, ran several Self-Test and scanned for bad blocks using the command above. But everything looks good and 0 Bad Blocks was found, scan lasted several hours.

sudo badblocks -v /dev/sda2

Pass completed, 0 bad blocks found. (0/0/0 errors)

Also lately, not sure if it can help with troubleshooting, i've been getting pop up saying "File System Error"

I'm not sure what to do next.

EDIT: I run FSCK once again. As soon I start the device up everything is accessible, after some minutes, a message pop-up saying: "System program problem". I can't screenshot it, but this is a similiar photo of the error, taken from google. After I close the pop-up everything gets on read-only. Error Photo URL

I also have one other machine with another Linux distro, having a similar pop-up happening regularly. Can it be caused by Faulty USB Drive I used to install the OS?

It's probably a bad drive, irrespective of the tests.

I'd also check the rest of your hardware for issues; ie. even good components misbehave when fed faulty power (ie. check PSU), if RAM is faulty issues will show (check RAM), let alone *cap scan* for general motherboard issues (though these usually show by random freezes/halts of the system) etc

It's extremely unlikely (*in my opinion*) to be related to a bad USB however I don't know your release. Modern releases validate the media and it would have shown, and if you were on an older release (that doesn't auto-validate itself) your own checks should have detected flaws; so I'd discount media (*only you can know if you execute proper security procedures though*). System Problem detected tells me nothing; unless you've explored the .crash file in `/var/crash/` (the filename itself tells you a load of detail; as I cannot see that directory though I cannot see anything).

Thank you! There are 3 files that i cannot open or share since i can't even access my USB Drive from that PC or use Browser. They are named: _usr_lib_systemd_systemd.0.crash; _usr_lib_udisks2_udisksd.0.crash; _usr_libexec_fwupd_fwupd.0.crash. Would like to add that now i can't even write any file on System @guiverc

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
