File Naming Error "This item could not be renamed"

Hi,
Ever since I first used Trisquel I often get this error when trying to rename folders. Just wondering why as it makes no sense as there is no other video file on my entire computer with the same name.
Anbody know what this issue is and how to solve it?
Any help would be appreciate.
Thanks,
Steve

I have never seen this. Since it's happening since you installed Trisquel, I would run "sudo debsums -s" to check if there is a corrupted file causing this...
It would be helpful if you could provide more information, like the type of file system (ext2/ext3/ext4/ntfs/what?) and exactly in what way you're renaming it. (For example, is it a change or case or what?) Details matter. In some cases, for example, if the name is only a change in case you can't do it. You'll need to give it a new, temporary name and then rename it to the final name. Details, details please!
Hi,
Sorry for my lack of info.
sudo debsums -s just returns 'command not found' ??
The root file system is ext4 and I have a /home file system in xfs.
The name is only a case change but that is strange. Why must I give it a temporary name first? Thanks for the solution but it's just strange and annoying that one has to do that if they just want to change the case of a letter.
Thanks anyway guys!

When an XFS filesystem is created, it can be case-sensitive or case-insensitive. Yours was probably created as case-insensitive, which would explain your issue.
There's nothing you can do about it except backup your files, create a new case-sensitive filesystem, and restore your files.
The reason why you have to use a temporary name for it, of course, is that your new name refers to the same file.
What program is that from?
I think it is Files(nautilus) 3.10 in Trisquel 7.0.
Hi again,
Thanks Legiment, that makes sense. Next time I'm installing Trisquel I'll try that solution. It's not worth the hassle right now :-P
Is there an option in Trisquel's installer to specify that you want a case-sensitive filesystem?
And yes I'm using Nautilus 3.10 in Trisquel 7.0 but I have experienced this in non-alpha/beta versions of Trisquel.
Thanks again!
Steve
Maybe if you do manual partitioning. If not, try partitioning from the terminal. See http://linux.die.net/man/8/mkfs.xfs, you'll have to use version=2. (That is, if you want to use xfs)
Thanks Legimet for your help. I will check that out next time I'm reinstalling Trisquel :-)
