I experienced two applications (midnight commander and aMSN) are having problems opening directories containing underscore in the names. Disk is ok, filesystem is ok (reiser), Gentoo is world updated, perimissions ok. It's 100% reproducible, anywhere in the filesystem, see reproducibility below. Also reported on Slackware linux: http://www.linuxpackages.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=94121&sid=0afa13070d4e0cb416128af9577f3eeb Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. start midnight commander 2. create dir like: a_a 3. enter dir Actual Results: Warning: Cannot change to /home/twinsen/temp/a_a Expected Results: <no error message>
app-misc/mc-4.6.1-r3 works just fine (see Bug 153925).
mc-4.6.1-r3 was not in stable x86, but I will install it. :) As for aMSN, reproducibility: - Make sure no aMSN session is running - start aMSN - click 'login as...' - select 'login using existing profile' - select profile name (eg. hoditohod@whatever.com) Result: Error message pops up: 'This Profile is being used by another aMSN session, please chose another one' the profile dir is: ~/.aMSN/hoditohod_whatever_com No error message for profile directories without underscore.
thats strange, it works here.. I think it has nothing to do with underscore... there might be a lock file in the directory.
Could you please include emerge --info and file --version output?
Hi! Olivier was right, it was some kind of lock problem, though I couldn't figure out what exactly. Anyway, I deleted directory, and recreated the profile, and it works fine now. Sorry for the inconvenience.
