Khaled: Another one
Please fucking explain why this is a problem. I have a folder with movies on an external HDD. I want to move them to a different subfolder. The first twenty worked fine without any issues - as expected. Then I get this error, and it doesn’t tell me why in a human language that can be understood by humans.
So, I’ll go ahead and ask here. Do any of you have any idea wtf this is? I’m on Fedora 38.
EDIT: Wait, it has actually moved some of the folders and files that it tells me it can’t move. So now it’s basically copied the files…??
EDIT 2: Not to be a dick, but I think I’ll boot into Win 11 and see if it handles it any better. BRB!
EDIT: 3: LOL, Windows moved the shit without any questions. Now you know what I meant with the TITLE.
EDIT 4: And as expected, the community did not like that their God OS failed at such a simple task. As a Linux (Debian) user for 16 years, and a current Fedora user, this is proper cringe - but also expected.
EDIT 5: I’m so sorry for the actual adults around here who try to help, but it looks like Reddit has indeed arrived.
EDIT 6: Lemmy in a nutshell? Actually a bigger echo chamber than Reddit? How ironic.
EDIT 7: This is my blog now
EDIT 8: So I had a sandwich, it was pretty good, but need more salt
EDIT 9: Pretty sure I just invented a new type of Twitter
EDIT 10: Got a cease and desist from Musk, he must feel threatened by all the hate in here. He offered to buy it.

EDIT 12: Whoever owns “Edit.com”, reach out to me. I think I’ve got something

EDIT 15: Angy! ME SO ANGY!
EDIT 16: I use Arch, btw
People use Windows because it comes preinstalled when they buy their computers.
Awww, did I hurt your little teeny tiny brain? Btw, this comment is not open-source, so FUCK OFF. Heil Google.
wow, you sperged out quite hard about such a simple problem, I’m glad you will be using windows from now on and won’t be hanging around *nix related discussion platforms
Is it an ntfs partition that you opened on Windows? I remember getting an error like that cause Windows does some weird permission things. Other than that I’d try with the command line or a different file manager to try and discover what the error is.
It is indeed NTFS. I use the same HDD between a Fedora and Win 11 dual-boot, then the single HDD is being used by Plex, so no matter if I’m logged into Fedora or Win 11, it’ll mount and read the content. It’s just acting REALLY weird right now. About half of the content got moved to the new folder, while the rest of them errors out.
That error is saying you’re trying to move/rename the file to a name that’s already being used. Can’t do that on windows either.
That said, I’ve seen some weird issues with bulk file copies in Linux file explorers. Cli usually works better.
Well, the latest update is that I just opened the folder that it refuses to copy to, and there are indeed copies of the folders and files that I try to copy, but not all. What is going on, lol.
Booted into Windows and it moved everything just fine. Case closed.
Glad you figured out something that worked for you. Don’t be such a dick next time and you’ll find everyone will be more helpful.
You should switch back to windows, that would fix your problem.
Update: Booted into Windows, and it actually worked fine there. Thanks
I dual-boot, so yes, but also no.
could be a perm issue
Already looked at it, and I have full permission.
Are you crossing a physical boundary?
If you have rw on dest but not src “Moves” (copy=>delete) can look like this
All it takes is for a lone soldier deep in a nest to have r - -
