IIRC in Munich the effort “failed” in good part thanks to Microsoft lobbying and bribes.
Yeah, talked to their CTO in 2012 when I wrote an article for heise.de (sadly, never released with his statements, only broad summaries) and he basically said the politicians were intentionally crippling support for Linux so that Microsoft IT support looked better. He specifically mentioned the WollMux form system as a failed software project.
Noooo, it’s just a coincidence that Munich switched off LiMux right after Microsoft moved their EU HQ there, and now has one of the highest IT budgets for a single city (500M€)
I think it failed because the Mail software they used had a bug that couldn’t handle very large E-Mail subjects. Then they were like “See? This linux thing is bad. Go back to Microsoft on everything right now”
hilarious when considering that Windows still cannot handle filepaths longer than 256 characters
@mrgoosmoos @Paulemeister
I hit that block almost every week!
Especially when backing up email in MS that is saved under the Subject name, which can be very long.
It can’t? What the fuck?
yeah if you try to, say, open a pdf with a filepath that is too long, it just doesn’t do anything
many such cases.
this is a problem for our SharePoint/OneDrive setup because our own directory gets quite long once you dig down into dpmt folders in projects, then you try to access the contents of an uncompressed customer package that’s neatly organized by folders and has filenames that are 50+ characters long by themselves… it’s annoying
I think I ran into that problem once but there’s a registry key you can set to allow longer filepaths
