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 11: The Net (1995) A computer programmer stumbles upon a conspiracy, putting her life and the lives of those around her in great danger.

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

EDIT 14: This thread is now sponsored by Nestlé.

EDIT 15: Angy! ME SO ANGY!

EDIT 16: I use Arch, btw

    People use Windows because it comes preinstalled when they buy their computers.

    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.

          Nemo on Windows can read extfs partitions better than NTFS plays with Linux. It’s more of a problem with proprietary file systems, not the open source file manager trying it’s best to reverse engineer the protocol.

          When I dual booted, I would just share the extfs partition because it worked the best on both systems, once the extfs driver for Windows was installed.

    Maybe it is problem with NTFS, a filesystem outdated by 20 years that is still the only option on Windows.

    Maybe it is problem with permissions.

    Maybe it is something else.

    But I won’t help you, because od your language.

        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 - -
