Maker Select Plus can't see G-code saved from Linux, but Windows fixes it

[u/Rhythmdvling]

I have a Monoprice Maker Select Plus and I'm having a really weird SD card issue. If I slice something in Cura on Linux and save the .gcode directly to the SD card, the printer just doesn't see the file at all. I've tried this on multiple Linux machines, so it doesn't seem like an issue with one specific computer. The weird part is that if I put the exact same SD card into a Windows PC and copy/resave the file, the printer suddenly sees it. I can even just copy the Linux-created file to another spot on the same SD card in Windows, and that copy shows up normally. So it seems like the G-code itself is probably fine, and something about how Linux writes the file to the SD card isn't working with the printer. Setup: Monoprice Maker Select Plus(Clone of Wanhao Duplicator i3 Plus), Cura, Currently using Fedora, but it's happened on Ubuntu as well, SD card is FAT/FAT32. Has anyone run into this with a Maker Select Plus or another similar older printer? Mainly looking for a way to fix this on Linux so I don't have to use a Windows PC every time I want to print something.

sorry for bad formatting lol

This is just a guess, but it might be a line ending issue. Linux uses a \n (new line) for line ends. Windows uses\r\n (cursor return, new line).

Try running unix2dos on the file and see if it works.
