'ls' Command: Strange Behavior in home directory (~) #314

Closed bcgreen24 closed 10 years ago

bcgreen24 commented 10 years ago

When I'm in my home directory, the 'ls' command only returns items that start with the letter 'm' and beyond. The 'dir' command, however, displays eveything.

In other directories, 'ls' does display all items. It's just in my home directory that I've notices this behavior.

To reproduce: navigate to home directory, run 'ls' command.

I cannot reproduce this on my system. It must have something to do with the filenames in your home directory.

Could you provide a list of file and folder names in that directory? Alternatively, if you are not comfortable giving out that information, maybe you can narrow the problem down to one or two files yourself. There should be at least one file that sticks out as having a somehow "different" name (probably the one just before the first file that is displayed).

Hmm...after reinstalling, the problem disappeared...
