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.

Ubuntu renames files while exporting from google drive connected to "files"? (lemmy.ml)

Ubuntu just started renaming files while exporting (sending over mail, KDE Connect, Whatsapp web). The folder is my google drive, connected to my google drive. Sometimes it looses its file ending/type as well. The file is called something like: "1Kfhgsji2rjfIS-fi3oo598nf8ajlfoi.pdf"

I guess its a weird bug, it persist even after a restart. Thanks, maybe you have a solution

Is the original file name like that, or is that the exported name?

The exported one. The original was normal text

Not gonna lie, that’s straight up bizarre. I’m almost wondering if it has to do with the programs not having proper permissions to access those files, but then I’d think that they wouldn’t upload at all.

Have you tried chmod 777 on any of those files to see if it makes a difference? That is usually my first stop when a Linux program has trouble interacting with a file.

And chmod 777 returns "operation not supported"

Did you run it as sudo? And you’re on Ubuntu?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Yes to both. Ubuntu should be up to date
