Simulink "Invalid cross-device link (18)" - error

Hi all,

When I'm trying to save a simulink .slx file, I get the following error

Error writing file "</user_path/file_name.slx>": Failed to close the package: "Invalid cross-device link (18)".

I'm currently using R2022b on Ubuntu 22.04.

You need to update to the newest R2022b. This is a known problem that was fixed in one of the updates.

Thanks, I did that but I got an error saying that I don't have access to the root folder. I was able to figure it out by using the following command on the terminal

 sudo chown -R $LOGNAME: /path/to/installation/directory

Afterwards, I updated R2022b to version 5 and now I can save the files from Simulink !
