What Happened?

The problem occurs when running minikube start --embed-certs

One of my certificates used on my system is called my_cert(1).crt. This naming does not work, since the Copy function in ssh_runner.go tries to run scp += fmt.Sprintf(" && sudo touch -d \"%s\" %s", mtime.Format(layout), dst). This makes Bash run sudo touch -d "2024-12-10 14:39:09.586983523 +0100" /usr/share/ca-certificates/my_cert(1).pem, which is an invalid command, since the parenthesis needs to be preceded by a backslash like this:
sudo touch -d "2024-12-10 14:39:09.586983523 +0100" /usr/share/ca-certificates/my_cert\(1\).pem

This can of course be resolved by changing the name of the cert file.

I would attempt to fix this myself, but I am unfortunately not a go developer.

Attach the log file

I don't think the entire log is necessary to paste here due to me finding out the cause of the bug myself, and I don't feel like sanitizing the output from secret environment variables and such. The line with the error goes as follows:

❌ Exiting due to GUEST_CERT: Failed to setup certs: Copy /home/chasar/.minikube/certs/my_cert(1).crt: sudo mkdir -p /usr/share/ca-certificates && sudo scp -t /usr/share/ca-certificates && sudo touch -d "2024-12-10 14:39:09.586983523 +0100" /usr/share/ca-certificates/my_cert(1).pem: Process exited with status 2
