johnodon Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I'm not sure exactly when this started, what caused it, or, if they are supposed to look this way. If I was to change directories in SSH, I actually have to include the "\"s as shown. Browsing via Windows Explorer show them as expected: Link to comment
itimpi Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 That looks normal. When you are at the command line level spaces in names need to be escaped which is what you are seeing. Link to comment
johnodon Posted October 21, 2014 Author Share Posted October 21, 2014 Honestly, I don't ever remembering seeing this is any previous version and I have tinkered enough in putty that I should have seen it. Maybe senility is setting in. Link to comment
pinion Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 That is normal. Do not worry. That is how *nix systems handle spaces. What those slashes are doing is escaping the space in the path/file names. Mine looks exactly like that. Link to comment
johnodon Posted October 21, 2014 Author Share Posted October 21, 2014 OK...I believe you guys. Now I am just curious why my Ubuntu VM doesn't do it: Link to comment
TripKnot Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 You may have some setting in ~\.dir_colors or the LS_COLORS environment variable that changes this behavior. Link to comment
pinion Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Honestly, I don't ever remembering seeing this is any previous version and I have tinkered enough in putty that I should have seen it. Maybe senility is setting in. I don't know. I think you might be on to something. I was trying to google how to get ls to do that and I can't even find a way. I don't think that is normal on an ls. It's normal when you're trying to change the directory unless you put the whole thing in quotes. strange... Link to comment
johnodon Posted October 21, 2014 Author Share Posted October 21, 2014 I wonder if it is one on the plugins that did it. I have Docker Manager (which has been static) but I also have the new Virtual Machine Manager (http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=35858.0). Link to comment
johnodon Posted October 21, 2014 Author Share Posted October 21, 2014 I remove the VM Manager and virtman plugins and rebooted. Same result. I'm going to start from scratch and see if a clean install does the same. John Link to comment
remotevisitor Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Looks like your Ubuntu VM is defaulting to include the -N option to ls. Link to comment

Yep...I saw it in the theater when I was 6 years old. Also saw Jaws in '75 when it came out that summer. Nobody would go in the water at the Jersey shore. lol Link to comment
