Timimi Firefox Ubuntu and External Hard Drive

[Boris Kalinin]

Hi everyone!

I've just switched to Ubuntu 20.04 and my first inclination is to try TiddlyWiki here. I used Timimi for Firefox on Windows and stored my backup files on an external drive. Now I've decided to go down this path as well. And it doesn't work. I get an error message: "Timimi save failed: attempt to postmessage on disconnected port". I think there are several things which might be wrong, but I don't know which ones and I am not familiar with changing everything on Linux, so I need an advice:

• My path to the external drive could be wrong. I know that Linux mounts drives to /media, so I write my path in Timimi like this "/media/username/volume name/folder/".
• There are also spaces and Russian symbols in the path, that might be interfering: "/media/username/русские символы/". Should I use quotes? Should I rename volumes? I tried quotes though with no success, but maybe I was doing it wrong.
  
• My external drive is in NTFS. Can this be a problem?
• Maybe Linux prevents saving to external folder by default and I should use internal storage? As it might be obvious right now I am a complete newbie yet. However I tried to move a folder into the ~/Documents and the same error was raised.
  
• Maybe I need some right or whatnot.

Thank you in advance!

Sincerely, Boris.

Hi Boris,
Just confirming: You do have the timimi backend for Ubuntu installed, right?

Non English folder names will not work. This is a known issue. Unfortunately this is a bug in the Tiddlyfox saver. Hence this will affect any browser addon that depend on Tiddlyfox saver mechanism. There is an open PR and discussion for this on the tiddlywiki repo here: https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/pull/4526This is a known issue. Unfortunately this is a bug in the Tiddlyfox saver.

Thank you! Everything seems to work fine now. Installed Timimi properly on Linux and renamed volume and folder to English characters.
