I don't see the same problem you are, but I don't know what that proxy command is. It neither exists in my distribution nor in my apt list. Is it a proxy server configuration issue? Perhaps a firewall?

Hi @disini !

I have a clarifying question. Are you running GitBash on Ubunutu? I am finding conflicting information as to whether this is available on Linux. My commands were done strictly on a bash shell. If you are running GitBash, you may be encountering these issues:

#8

from openmoonray.

Hi Mr. @kjeffery ,
Thank you for your reply,
I runs linux terminal directly on ubuntu, instead of gitbash, to checkout this repository, the proxy command you mentioned is a custom proxy I added to my system environment in /etc/bash.bashrc :

alias proxy='http_proxy=127.0.0.1:8890 https_proxy=127.0.0.1:8890'

and that proxy was running with a clash client, because I'm in China and there is a disgusting GFW on my network, if I don't add the proxy before the git clone command I will always fail to check it out.

But I don't think this issue has any relationship with the proxy, because I used it everyday and every command with network connection, it works perfectly.

I've read the #8
issue ,and the
MSYS2
Software Distribution and Building Platform for Windows
has only windows version, so I've no idea on how to fix this on ubuntu.

And btw I tried to clone the moonray_dcc_plugins repository individually，

https://github.com/dreamworksanimation/moonray_dcc_plugins.git

but it makes the same error.

And I downloaded a zip package of moonray_dcc_plugins with the url :

https://github.com/dreamworksanimation/moonray_dcc_plugins/archive/refs/heads/release.zip

when I open that zip file I can see all the files in /moonray_dcc_plugins-1.0.0.0/houdini/otls/ with the origin name includes the :: signs.

But if I unzip the package to a folder, all the files named with :: signs was renamed to a __ patern, like this :

then I tried several times to replace the __ back to :: , but all failed, it seems that the ubuntu system doesn't support the :: chatacters in a file name?
And neither windows does.

That's what the current situation as I know, waiting for your help, Thank you sir!

As far as I know colons should be valid in filenames on all linux distros. You can check using something like:

touch foo::bar
ls -l foo\:\:bar

I am not sure why cloning would fail or why unzipping would replace the ::'s with __.

Hi @jlanz
Thanks for your reply, I tried the cmd above on my PC, it showed this:

liusheng@ubuntu22:/media/liusheng/Backup/test$ touch foo::bar
touch: setting times of 'foo::bar': No such file or directory
liusheng@ubuntu22:/media/liusheng/Backup/test$ touch foo\:\:bar
touch: setting times of 'foo::bar': No such file or directory
liusheng@ubuntu22:/media/liusheng/Backup/test$ su
Password: 
root@ubuntu22:/media/liusheng/Backup/test# touch foo::bar
touch: setting times of 'foo::bar': No such file or directory
root@ubuntu22:/media/liusheng/Backup/test# touch foo\:\:bar
touch: setting times of 'foo::bar': No such file or directory
root@ubuntu22:/media/liusheng/Backup/test# 

so I'm still confused......

from openmoonray.

I have no issues.

/tmp$ touch foo::bar
/tmp$ echo $LANG
en_US.UTF-8

Perhaps it is your language/character encoding settings.

Thanks @kjeffery ,
That's really weird....

from openmoonray.

That is strange. Touch doesn't want to create the file for some reason. What happens if you redirect into a file?

echo 'test' > foo::bar

from openmoonray.

echo 'test' > foo::bar

it saids "bash: foo::bar: Invalid argument"

This is out of my depth. We need some Linux experts!

It's OK.
Thank you anyway! ^_^
