"Something something jadajadajada... and will now be write-protected (and then for some reason I didn't read before it disappeared)".

So, i have a partally write-protected internal memory. Documents folder basically I think. And the internal storage is no longer accessible when connected to my PC.

1. What was the message?
2. How can I remove the write-protection?
3. Is there any way of accessing internal storage from Ubuntu?
Not sure exactly what the message says, but I think it indicates that the filesystem has become corrupt. You should be able to fix that with the following (you'll need rootsh installed):
Code:
sudo gainroot
umount /home/user/MyDocs
fsck.vfat /dev/mmcblk0p1
mount /home/user/MyDocs
