setting export QUOTING_STYLE=literal in .profile or /etc/profile helps
It happened on moving from UBUNTU LTS 16.04 to UBUNTU LTS 18.04 (migration from one server to the other, not an upgrade of one server) It is related to the "ls" command only, and not a generic UNIX kernel. Seems to be a change in core-utils ls command You should discuss to default to QUOTING_STYLE=literal on UBUNTU 16.04 LTS -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1788455 Title: Issue Creating Files with Equal sign = To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1788455/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
