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.

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

        Agree, but I feel the majority of Windows users would have just adapted to whatever came installed. But what do I know…

          Sure, but that definitely ignores everyone who builds their own gaming systems starting with an empty hard drive.

            Ok, I actually forgot that many games only run properly on Windows. Maybe my claim was too simplistic.

              And things like Adobe Suite, etc, for people required to use that for work, who cannot use a FOSS alternative.

      What are you talking about? I have like 32 accounts. I’m everywhere. I use Fedora, and I still prefer Fedora.I think it’s fantastic, and much better than Windows (from a technical side). I only use Windows for Game Pass gaming. Windows fixed my issue today, and people here are GOING APE, and I think it’s fucking hilarious. I’m actually enjoying this.

      The Lord booted into God’s Operating System, Windows 11 PRO (notice Pro, please) and the movement of stolen goods were completed within seconds. Linux might be better to keep the opposite sex away, but Windows brings it all night. Oh yes.

    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.

    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.

    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.
