A few days ago I noticed that the word 'unknown' appended to file names on Desktop...
I also find "volume: unknown" under properties of file or folder.
Interestingly, shortcuts to web pages don't have this...
I have tried everything I can think of to figure out what's happening but to no avail, can anyone help please?

Re: The word 'unknown' appended to file names on Desktop
Having unknown for volume is not unusual, so this is probably unrelated to your problem.I also find "volume: unknown" under properties of file or folder.
That is very odd. If you create a new file does it have "unknown" on the end?A few days ago I noticed that the word 'unknown' appended to file names on Desktop
Please confirm that the "unknown" is on the end of all the Desktop files by typing this in a terminal:
Code: Select all
ls -la ~/Desktop
Do other files on in your home also have "unknown" on the end?

No files or folders in ~/ have this appended.

That means the "\r"."unknown" is not really in the filename.Output of 'ls -a ~/Desktop' ...

I can' imagine why Nemo chooses to see it that way. Very odd.
