Cannot Copy and Paste Files using CTRL+C and CTRL+V commands in Lubuntu File Manager

Starting from a few minutes ago, I cannot copy and paste files from some of my folders to the others. For example in this pic I wanted to copy a file from desktop and paste it in my home directory, but got this error instead.
Sometimes after this error, my system randomly opens Visual Studio Code. I am completely clueless how this has happened and how to fix it.
I am using Lubuntu 18.10. (I ran sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop on my Ubuntu 18.10).
Edit: the output of ls -al. The file I'm having problem copying with shortcuts is "roole.jpg", I can copy the file using right click and choosing "Copy" and then going to the source destination and paste it via right click, but cannot use shortcuts.

You haven't said what release of Lubuntu you are using. I'm using a recent release (using LXQt thuspcmanfm-qt) and had no issues using your listed copy & paste commands. If you get the error on specific files, I'd be tempted to drop to terminal & check you have ownership of those files, that they are ordinary files - though you could use right-click-properties to explore usingpcmanfm-qt(If you were using Lubuntu 18.04 (LXDE) or earlier; you didn't state, so I tested with LXQt)

@guiverc Sorry, I had forgotten to mention it. I hadn't have any problems with my Lubuntu before today, I have had it for about a month now and had no problems with copying and pasting files.

I have never used visual studio code, so I ignored that info (i read it asvimin my mind). The fact that it opens vscode is possibly a clue, and I'd check for unusual characters in the name (maybe spaces [acting as delimiters] in filenames, quotes or special characters that throw off the copy/paste). If it were my issue, I'd examine the filenames (copy & paste them into a dumb-editor list so you can look for non-displayable-chars, or if none are found, look for a pattern for clues). This is an idea,pcmanfm-qtis open source, so you could even go looking at how it works. my 2c

I have never used visual studio code, so I ignored that info (i read it as
vim in my mind). The fact that it opens vscode is possibly a clue, and I'd check for unusual characters in the name (maybe spaces [acting as delimiters] in filenames, quotes or special characters that throw off the copy/paste). If it were my issue, I'd examine the filenames (copy & paste them into a dumb-editor list so you can look for non-displayable-chars, or if none are found, look for a pattern for clues). This is an idea, pcmanfm-qt is open source, so you could even go looking at how it works. my 2c– guiverc

@DKBose you're welcome! I have rebooted, logged out, even checked the shortcuts multiple times using `nano /.config/openbox/lxqt-rc.xml but couldn't find anything.

You haven't said what release of Lubuntu you are using. I'm using a recent release (using LXQt thus
pcmanfm-qt) and had no issues using your listed copy & paste commands. If you get the error on specific files, I'd be tempted to drop to terminal & check you have ownership of those files, that they are ordinary files - though you could use right-click-properties to explore usingpcmanfm-qt(If you were using Lubuntu 18.04 (LXDE) or earlier; you didn't state, so I tested with LXQt)– guiverc

@guiverc Sorry, I had forgotten to mention it. I hadn't have any problems with my Lubuntu before today, I have had it for about a month now and had no problems with copying and pasting files.
