Idk how I managed to create 2 files both with the name of nvme_start on my ~ directory.
I was doing a dd at the time, so maybe it has something to do with dd?
I’ve tried using dd with both root and another user but cannot seem to replicate what happened.
“ls -l” gives me
-rw-r—r— 1 root root 134217728 Mar 4 01:23 nvme_start
-rw-r—r— 1 general users 134217728 Mar 4 01:10 nvme_start

Oh i tried ls -lib and got numbers at the front
21495998 for the root one
21496782 for the general one
I see, the -i gave the index numbers

inodes, yes - did the "-b" reveal any non-printable characters?
What kind of filesystem is this?

try this:
ls -la > /tmp/output
vim /tmp/output
Once inside vim try:
set list
You should see the differences.

@seth no, there were no other differences.
I could see the ‘\ ‘ space character now tho of another directory.
@fmc000 ls -al gave the same thing
set list just added a bunch of $ at the end.
So I tried :!xxd and it showed that both had exactly the same name just different owners like ls -al originally pointed out
Wait nvm I realised what was wrong, I’m dumb, I was typing from my phone and I never copied from my computer cause it was only running in console, the name of the one for root is nmve

I guess I should just download a desktop environment and buy myself a mouse so that I can at least realise the typo next time
