xxxx@XXXXXX:~$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin:/snap/bin:/media/xxxx/System/___HOU
xxxx@XXXXXX:~$ echo $HOU

I'll take a stab and say it's permissions. Can you compare the permissions of a directory location that DOES fit in the path to the new directory location that you created?

would you be so kind to guide me to a step by step process guide somewhere how to do that?

Why would it be a permission problem? The error message says "No such file or directory". It does not mean there's a permission problem, it means there's no such file or directory. Start to walk the filesystem from the root, step into one subdirectory at a time, you'll see which one is missing.

Is that "System" resource mounted?

yes the location exists, because i have created that path and if i cd to that path it works: xxxx@XXXXXX:~$ cd /media/xxxx/System/___HOU xxxx@XXXXXX:/media/mano/System/___HOU$ and i think the system drive is always mounted on every restart https://imgur.com/a/n5ZV0Ms

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
