Public bug reported: I have experienced filesystem corruption leading to severe data loss in Ubuntu 24.04 LTS.
For instance, the file manager (called 'Files' under Apps) often disallows creating a new folder or copying or transferring files. This is probably denied permission to write to the filesystem, but a permission issue is illogical for a new installation of Ubuntu that was installed conventionally. This problem never corrected itself despite new updates coming in every week or so. A go-around is opening the Utility 'Disks' and repairing the filesystem (click 'Repair Filesystem' from the settings menu). But then this must be done every time logging into Ubuntu. You might say I temporarily discovered a go-around, but then this had severe consequences one day when I lost gigabytes of data after clicking 'Repair Filesystem'. Directories corrupted and could not be accessed. Data was truncated. I lost data. I never experienced this problem before on any installation of Linux, so what is going on now ? Is this a bad version of Ubuntu Linux. What do I do about my data loss ? (Who do I sue ?). ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2078283 Title: File system corrupt in Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (bad version ?)
