Hi:

I have linux installed on my pixelbook, and it has been working great. Up until the last two version updates, I could access the linux files using File Manager and copy the files into my Downloads folder. But now, the files are not shown in the File Manager: I click on linux and it says "nothing to see here."

The files are still there, but I can't copy them over into downloads. Any idea why this is?

Thanks.

Robert

can you follow the docs to file feedback that will include relevant system logs ?

Robert, are you on dev channel?  If so, this is a known bug which should be fixed in the next push.

The bug was introduced in build R73-11559.0.0 and fixed in R73-11593.0.0.

I think dev has just pushed earlier today to 11633.0.0.

Joel,

I am on 73.0.3680.0-11633.0.0 and am still experiencing this issue.

I filed a report with #crostini & crbug.com/925158 in the description.

Thanx,
~Denny
