Version: Obsedian 1.2.8 (snap)
System: Ubuntu 22.04LTS with gnome
Problem: Only by selecting the default storage path option for attachments as the warehouse root directory “” can images be successfully rendered. Choosing other options, such as “in the specified subfolder of the folder where the current file is located”, which I commonly use on Win, is not allowed
The internal link used is relative to the note file, and wiki link is disabled
Guess: May be it needs to give Obsidian access to the certain folders? Because these . md note files still cannot render corresponding path images in vscode
If I understand correctly, images in your obsidian vault cannot be opened unless they are located in obsidian’s root folder?
If so, could it be that by mistake (or by purpose, maybe some time ago and you don’t remember…) you restricted access to a certain subfolder from ubuntu’s side?
How do your relative links look like in editing mode?
First when I open the .md document，it looks like this:
the white cube where the pic should be shown
If I clik the white cubic,the link is unwarped, which shows that everything is as usual
And finally I click somewhere else,the cube truns to a icon liks this:
paste the file/folder permissions of the image itself and the folder where the image is located (either: right-click on the folder and the file, or, via terminal: ls -al /path/to/folder
Thanks for your kindness ! To make it more clear, I build a new collection with a new note to show how does the problem turn out.All the terms have been checked and it reprots that nothing seems to be wrong wrong
However,I think now I find the reason， if I choose the first folder name in Chinese，such as “你好”，then all the pics attached in the lower folder togethor with all notes in it will fail to show. Instead ,if the first folder is named in English, even if the lower folder is named in Chinese , all the things just run well. Here r the proves:
So now in conclusion, that’s maybe a compatibility problem for the linux version, at least in a snap source. Because this error never comes in an exe version when I use it in Windows 11. This is unfriendly to non native English speakers. Should we report it to a bug?Or there are still some methods may help solve it?
In obsidian’s Discord channel there is a Chinese channel - maybe discuss this issue there first, just to see if it is really a language-related problem. If it is, I would certainly see it as a bug.
Sandbox is OK.Nothing went wrong.Thanks for ur remind, actually I have post this issue on Chinese community at first.However there 's none reply I have gotten until now.Seems that most of Chinese users prefer to work with Windows or Mac OS
Here is the default valut obsidian use if u first open it and don’t improt any collection(valut).It can be seen that in Chinese Language settings under ubuntu, the upper folder is named in “文档” instead of “Documents”，which makes the problem turns out again. In this folder, even if I make everything in English , pictures won’t show correctly as fellow:
For now I guess for linux version ,at least when u setup the software from a snap sorce, pics won’t show if there are ANY Chinese words in the WHOLE storage path.I have no idea about will the flatpack or Appimage version have the same problem ,or in some other language environments will cause it. Now I think make sure the Vault name , the Vault upper path and fisrt level folder name contain no Chinese word will make pictures be shown as usual.
As you can’t reproduce the issue in the sandbox vault (even with a Chinese-named, newly created folder), I don’t think it is a bug or has anything to do with Ubuntu or the snap version.
Which plugins are you using? Maybe you could just share your debug info (ctrl + p → “Show debug information”).
hello, recently I got a similar problem as you guys discussed above. And I think I reproduce the issue in the sandbox vault. Would you mind having a look at my figures below?
As you can see, I try to make two same structures for the picture loading test. The only difference is the folder name uses Chinese. Once I move the pictures anywhere under the “你好” folder. The pictures would not be loaded, whereas there isn’t any problem under the “Hello” folder.
I haven’t tested the other languages. But I think there might be some problems related to multi-language.
Just show it my friend.By the way now I have transfered every name of first folder into English to avoid this annoying problems. Here is my debug information :

Maybe this weekend I’ll get some more tries on it to figure out exactly what is going wrong
The software u have used, my frind, Mr.ScottZ, is that also a linux distribution? Because before the error occurs, what I have done is just copying the whole collection vault via a portable SSD from Windows11 to Ubuntu22.04.

It looks like a bug caused by multi-language within the Linux version. Would you mind have a look at this problem?
I use Ubuntu 22.04LTS. Although I did change all the settings to en_US.UTF-8, it doesn’t work for me. And I am new to Ubuntu, so I change all the folder names to English to avoid this problem.
