Re: [Trisquel-users] Does the "Deepness of the location of a file" matter when using Flidas?
try going to file:/// and then clicking on media, then the next folder, until you get to the file you wanted to open. that will save you the hassle of typos. you can probably drag the file onto the url bar (or browser window) as well. you can probably drag the file to the bookmarks bar and then click on the bookmarks. good luck.

this table says it doesnt have a path limit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_file_systems the filename limit is 255 bytes. youll want to show the error you got. even though the filesystem doesnt have a limit, its possible you found one in a program. this seems unlikely, but without more information...

@ Magic Banana Thank you for the link! I also distrust my keyboard skills and therefore I haven't ruled typos out. But I also suspect of the shallowness of my knowledge on links and on the way in which I configured the storage media I am using. I am trying to gather evidence about these factors and eventually submit them here in the forum for consideration. And thank you very much for your thoughts!
[Trisquel-users] Re : Why is Trisquel 8 so much bigger than Trisquel 7?
it would be an interesting way to stretch the battery usage I do not understand the rationale: the large program has to be read from the disk to be loaded into main memory. if more ram = less swap = less hdd use and the hdd uses way more power than the ram, then installing more ram could save battery. A system that sometimes runs short of RAM in normal conditions (I am not talking about a malfunctioning program that is leaking memory) is unbearably slow. Whether the computer has a battery or not, her owner should should definitely buy more RAM: for her nerves!

There exists a maximal number of characters in the URL: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/417142/what-is-the-maximum-length-of-a-url-in-different-browsers However, your long URL should not even be close to reaching the limit. Probably a typo...

Re: [Trisquel-users] Why is Trisquel 8 so much bigger than Trisquel 7?
"the larger the program size, the more ram used which means... More battery life used." im having a difficult time figuring out the likelihood that youre right about this. it would be an interesting way to stretch the battery usage: https://superuser.com/questions/738848/does-more-ram-usage-cause-more-battery-usage if more ram = less swap = less hdd use and the hdd uses way more power than the ram, then installing more ram could save battery. im sceptical that only the ram "used" by the os gets refreshed as well. doubly so with the kind of caching and buffering of ram the kernel is known for. but maybe, less ram used = less swap used = less hdd used, and still saves battery. but not because it uses less ram per se-- because it uses the hdd less! https://www.invidio.us/watch?v=3EkBuKQEkio
[Trisquel-users] lock on guess session
I can only access my laptop on guess session, I have lost my administrator privilege. somebody on this forum had the same problem as me, and I took the time to read through all the comments and follow the directions, but nothing works out for me. I have pressed all the keys (Shift, Esc, Spacebar ...) I have read all the links posted on that thread and tried multiple time over and over again, how can someone help me, please?

Re: [Trisquel-users] Why is Trisquel 8 so much bigger than Trisquel 7?
its incredible how much of the iso is just locales. ive watched icons reach absurd proportions too. to the point where im like: do we even need icons? i get that some people want icons. i havent consider icons useful in ages. when the old expected size of a distro is 0.6gb (note: thats still my goal for live iso size. i got trisquel down from 2.5 to 1.3 so far) and the icons take up more than 10% of a cd, i think maybe we should be switching to 32x32 max and scale the rest. by all means, put the rest in an "icon upgrade" pack so you can have nicer icons. theyre bloating up the iso now. i also understand that people like you and me with concerns like this are in the minority. i dont expect trisquel to cater to this.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Why is Trisquel 8 so much bigger than Trisquel 7?
Not quite, I do care about program size. Because most likely, the larger the program size, the more ram used which means... More battery life used. And that I care about a whole lot.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Why is Trisquel 8 so much bigger than Trisquel 7?
It boggles the mind that so many "light" or in Trisquel's case "mini" distros can't fit on a cd anymore. All I want is a base system, reasonable window manager, and the ability to install what I want via wifi out of the box. I've taken to mini-ISO's and net-install so I can opt into the footprint I want as opposed to opting out of a footprint I never asked for.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Does the "Deepness of the location of a file" matter when using Flidas?
@ loldier Thank you for trying to help. I have made so many attempts to solve the problem and changes in the address of the starting link that currently when I click on it I'm not receiving an error screen and I am able to access folders that have a much longer path than the one with which the problem began. For example if the starting link was: href="file:///media/trisquel/STORE%20N%20GO/YA16G5708003700ATL/IT/GENERAL/SOFTWARE/UNIX/LINUX/TRISQUEL/DOWNLOAD/FLIDAS/BURN/IRC/PIDGIN/LOGS_OF_CHATS/#TRISQUEL/2018-10-10_16h53.html"> this is the current starting link my Abrowser would ask me to check the path's spelling and the content of the last folder and to try again. The error only disappeared with a shorter starting link like this: href="file:///media/trisquel/STORE%20N%20GO/YA16G5708003700ATL/IT/GENERAL/SOFTWARE/UNIX/LINUX/TRISQUEL/DOWNLOAD/FLIDAS/"> this is a shorter starting link Now, with the current starting link, though Abrowser shows me what can be seen in the attachment; that is not what I'm expecting. I'm looking forward to see the contents of 2018-10-10_16h53.html. But I don't know if that is possible and (if it is) how to achieve it. There is something else that has changed since my first post: I'm not so sure that this is a problem related to a long path. I'm eager to know about your point of view. Thanks in advance.

Thank you for asking I'm getting an error and I don't know if long paths are compatible with Flidas. This is what I would like to know: Does Flidas have some limit regarding the length of the paths that are used with it?
Re: [Trisquel-users] trying to install required software for MIT opencourseware
"You should develop under CPython, and only use PyPy if some weird issue arises. This document walks you through installing both flavors." im a fan of pypy but it seems like you should be using cpython. do you have pip installed? i believe it is available in trisquel. pypy is also available under trisquel. you can install both-- trisquel already includes python 7. in fact im not sure you actually need to install anything that doesnt already come with trisquel by default. id recommend skipping this step and moving past python installation since trisquel probably comes with what you need. but let me know how that works out. note that mit opencourseware isnt under a proper oer license (they use nc, oer really shouldnt do this) and may include non-free software as well. but so far, we have only spoken about python which is free. let me know if you have trouble with the next part. i have not done what you are trying to do.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Does the "Deepness of the location of a file" matter when using Flidas?
Are you saying the path is too long and you are getting an error?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Does the "Deepness of the location of a file" matter when using Flidas?
16th level of deepness
Re: [Trisquel-users] Does the "Deepness of the location of a file" matter when using Flidas?
you gotta go deep
Re: [Trisquel-users] Does the "Deepness of the location of a file" matter when using Flidas?
I discovered the problem when trying to link an .HTML document that is at the 16th level of deepness to another .HTML document that is also at the same level of deepness but of another folder. I have linked other .HTML documents before without problems. I currently don't recall the deepness at which they were located.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Does the "Deepness of the location of a file" matter when using Flidas?
For example, I would say that initrd.img is not deeply located in the file structure because its location is / I would also say that it is located in the first level of deepness. On the other hand, I would say that dao.h 's location is quite deep, because its location is /usr/include/libspreadsheet-1.12/spreadsheet/tools/ I would also say that it is located in the 6th level of deepness.
[Trisquel-users] Does the "Deepness of the location of a file" matter when using Flidas?
I have a problem with Flidas I don't know how to explain without using what I call the "deepness of the location of a file". Do you understand me when I use that expression to make my question?

If MiniFree also offers Bitcoins payments it isn’t that hard to get, unless you nation doesn‘t have Bitcoin ATMs at all.
