Hi Angelo,

probably: cd ~/notebook-source,
or directly: cd notebook-source???

What do you mean by "/.../"?

I guess, the leading /.../ is the culprit.

Hi Joachim,

I wrote "/.../notebook-source" , only with purpose to indicate theFULL PATH
of the directory...
THING HOTHER...

I think the explanation of the problem have to be in some intrusion of
characters, ...how Neil says....

I tryed more.....:
I renamed the directory to notebook

------
I did this using Mautilus (the graphic interface)
------

BUT the problem was not solved..   (ALL IS HOW IT WAS BEFORE:
typing ls notebook
I get still no such file or directory )

I tried
ls -d notebook* | od -tx1

the result is :
0000000 62 6f 74 65 42 6f 6f 6b5f 696e 73 74 61 6c 6c
0000020 61 74 69 6f 6e 0a
0000026

I am not sure as it have to be interpretated
 you help me to understand it ?

Thank you for your help

Angelo

you have to use backslash to do escaping
cd notebook-source

but may be you have some extra blank char after source
try to use tab completation + backslash

i have tried and here u do not need any \ before dash, but using it it owrks
either

~ # mkdir  abc-abc
~ # cd abc-abc/
~/abc-abc # cd ..
~ # cd abc-abc/
~/abc-abc #

but you have many strange chars
this is notebook-source
mkdir notebook-source
ls -d note* | od -tx1
0000000 6e 6f 74 65 62 6f 6f 6b 2d 73 6f 75 72 63 65 0a
0000020

6e 6f 74 65 62 6f 6f 6b 2d 73 6f 75 72 63 65 0a
n   o  t    e  b   o  o  k   -    s  o   u  r   c   e

0a is linefeed

notebook-source are 0x0f (16) chars
you have 22 chars, instead

That makes no sense. Did you cut-and-paste that, or type it in by hand?
If the latter, then I suspect you mis-typed some of it; in particular,
were there some extra spaces, i.e. 6b5f 696e should have been 6b 5f 69 6e?

Assuming that, then the file being listed is

boteBook_installation

which still makes no sense.

hi,

I got good advice from you and I know, now, what the problem is.

I am having difficulty also with the internet connection and for this I
cannot continue to use your help.
As well I think I can solve my problem.

Thank you

Regards

Angelo
