I’m using Picard 2.0.4 flatpak in Ubuntu 18.10. Every time I try to save, I get this error message.
error: [Errno 38] Function not implemented
What could be causing this?
Not sure about this, maybe something special with your file system?
Please take a look at Help > View Error/Debug Log after this issue has happened and post the output from there here. This should give us some info on where exactly this error is raised.
Also can you give some details about your setup? What file system(s) do you use? Where do you save the files to (local disk, network drive)?

I save my files in the local disk with NTFS file system.
I suspect some issue with the mounted NTFS file system. Can you post the output of mount?

I don’t know how to do that. Can you provide the instructions?
Please open a terminal and type
mount
Press Enter. It will list all the mounted filesystems. Don’t worry if this list looks longer than expected, in a modern Linux there are a couple of virtual filesystem. Just paste the entire thing here and we can sort out which filesystems could be relevant and which not.

FYI my music collection is in Vol-3.
Update 1: I managed to save MP3 files in an EXT4 partition without any trouble. The error occurs when trying to save WMA files in an NTFS partition. I’m not sure where the problem is.
Update 2: I moved the WMA files to the EXT4 partition & it worked fine. I think you are right. It may be a problem with the mounted filesystem. Any advice?
After some digging I managed to figure it out. It’s not a problem with the filesystem. Flatpaks are sandboxed & by default they only use the home directory. You have to manually grant the flatpak permissions to use more resources. The following command worked for me.
sudo flatpak override --filesystem=/path/to/the/other/partition/ org.musicbrainz.Picard
The manpages are available here.
