Files not being listed

[kev.sparky]

I was recently clearing out old music and several folders weren't deleting. When I restarted into windows I found that the folders actually contained files that Kubuntu couldn't see. When using Konqueror, Dolphin or ls at the Konsole no files showed, but using rmdir said that files exist. Obviously, at some level, the files are visible to Kubuntu but don't show up on any directory listing. I can only assume its the special characters in the file names. Below is a list of the files from the windows prompt.

Is there any program that will list these files under Kubuntu?

Re: Files not being listed

Are these on a NTFS formatted partition? If so, you are probably fighting filesystem capabilities and the limits of ntfs-3g, including such things at diacriticals and character maps. You'll have to use Windows to deal with them.

Yes it's NTFS. The thing is these files show up perfectly under Ubuntu. Does Ubuntu use ntfs-3g to mount NTFS volumes?

Re: Files not being listed

Huh.

Yes, ntfs-3g is the same package in Ubuntu and Kubuntu. So, I take it that the display issue must be KDE related, if they are all visible with Ubuntu. I never knew there was an issue with displaying file names in KDE.
