October 21, 201411 yr 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:
October 21, 201411 yr Community Expert That looks normal. When you are at the command line level spaces in names need to be escaped which is what you are seeing.
October 21, 201411 yr Author 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.
October 21, 201411 yr 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.
October 21, 201411 yr Author OK...I believe you guys. Now I am just curious why my Ubuntu VM doesn't do it:
October 21, 201411 yr You may have some setting in ~\.dir_colors or the LS_COLORS environment variable that changes this behavior.
October 21, 201411 yr 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...
October 21, 201411 yr Author 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).
October 21, 201411 yr Author 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
