Not readable name of directory in Linux Mint 13
I've got a directory with not readable name in my home directory. I suspect it is in russian language, but not sure.How to "translate" it?
|
Is any of it readable? Anything you can copy/paste or use tab completion or bash globbing on? Can you use a GUI to rename it?
|
Copy/paste the directory name into Google Translate.

Try a screenshot. You can click the "Go Advanced" button under the "compose post" window to reach the dialog for attaching a file to your pose.
Can you move or rename the directory? When you run the command Code:
ls -l |

In the file attached which is screenshot the unreadable name is after check.txt.Thank You for Your attention.

To see what is inside the directory you could possibly replace each character with a ? (13x?), or maybe *. (if that works, I'd try renaming it).
(ls *. or ls ?????????????) |
Try using the command "ls -lb" to see if that will convert to more standard ASCII, which would allow you access. Otherwise it might be a corruption rather than an actual name. If that is the case you would want to run an offline fsck on the drive.
