Did you run it as sudo? And you’re on Ubuntu?

Do you know how to accomplish a chmod in Linux?
Here’s a breakdown if you need to learn: https://www.howtogeek.com/437958/how-to-use-the-chmod-command-on-linux/
From your description, it looks like there is read write permission for the user, but no group or general permissions. Again, I don’t know if this will work, but it is where I would start.
Open your terminal and type:
sudo chmod 777 /path/to/file.txt
That will allow all users, groups, and guests to read, write, and/or execute the file. Then, if your programs are set to run under their own user or group, this will open the door for them to be able to access the full file.
Other than that, I’m wondering if the original file names have a structure that one of the systems can’t handle (such as slash marks) and so it changes the name to accommodate.
This is going to take some trial and error in troubleshooting. If you aren’t familiar with your terminal yet, this is going to be a great learning opportunity. Just make a backup of your files and system so you can undo any mistakes.
Not gonna lie, that’s straight up bizarre. I’m almost wondering if it has to do with the programs not having proper permissions to access those files, but then I’d think that they wouldn’t upload at all.
Have you tried chmod 777 on any of those files to see if it makes a difference? That is usually my first stop when a Linux program has trouble interacting with a file.
Is the original file name like that, or is that the exported name?

Any chance of recall?
I have really enjoyed Kavita. There are a few things that are still a little rough around the edges, but it is a project with a lot of potential.
I believe you’ll find that Linux Is Not Unix, actually. /s
Did you forget that MacOS exists and is a member of the larger UNIX family? If you don’t game on your computer, it is a far nicer option for home users than Windows in many respects.
“Legit options” are entirely based on your skill level and intended use.
$300 per year for the wheelchair software versus $500 one time…seems like a good deal to me.
Couldn’t hurt, but I’d be surprised if that fixed it.
Has your account been added to the sudo group before? If not, run the following command in the terminal with your own username:
sudo usermod -aG sudo
That should give your account sudo privileges and let you run the command with sudo properly.
I really wish I could take a look at your system in person. There are several things happening here that are unusual for Ubuntu.
