I can confirm this issue running Nautilus 2.21.6 on Hardy Alpha. I attempted to move both an ogg file and a text file with characters such as : " ? and received the same error message. This only occurred when moving to a FAT32 drive. The file transfer for both the text and audio file worked as expected when moving to a NTFS external drive.
This appears to be a FAT32 problem. What file system format is your external drive? ** Changed in: nautilus (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed -- Cannot copy or move files without renaming them when they have special characters https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/159788 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
