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 15: Angy! ME SO ANGY!
EDIT 16: I use Arch, btw
People use Windows because it comes preinstalled when they buy their computers.
Not always.
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.
IT’S THE YEAR OF LINUX! Let me boot up Photoshop. No, wait 😂
Awww, did I hurt your little teeny tiny brain? Btw, this comment is not open-source, so FUCK OFF. Heil Google.
What in the fully chronicled psychotic breakdown is happening here?
Not sure, Daniel.
Daniel is such an idiot, linking his real fucking name to Lemmy 😂
14 Edits, talk about cringe.
I’m having the time of my life. Virgins screaming at their screens, "NO! LINUX CAN’T POSSIBLY FUCK UP SOMETHING THIS SIMPLE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH MAMA!
STFU nig
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 really seem annoying based off of all those edits.
After booting into Windows, you know, an actual functioning OS, and fixed the issue within 4 seconds, I’m quite enjoying myself. This is actually fun, and the neanderthals just keep on coming! Btw, I use Arch.
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
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.

Like seriously, this was 2 minutes of googling. You’re trying to move files to a target that already contains that file name. Just nuke the target directory and retry, or use one of the methods mentioned in the above article.
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.
Ah, so you’re just a troll. Got it…
You should switch back to windows, that would fix your problem.
I dual-boot, so yes, but also no.
Update: Booted into Windows, and it actually worked fine there. Thanks
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.
Pretty sure this is the NTFS windows thing. I have never had this issue when using ext file systems
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 - -
Love that movie.
It’s actually in theater right now. Not theaters, but theater. My buddy, Bob Sacamano has a screening. Bring your own beer.
@_I_ what file manager are you using and how are you moving the files?
Nautilus. Drag and drop. Worked perfectly fine until it suddenly didn’t.
Use mv
Great edits ! I’m glad those worked, unlike your movie file name.
