[sudo] password for steve:
cat: '/boot/loader/entries/*6.17.1*': No such file or directory
This is normal because:
- /boot/loader/entries is only readable by root
- the shell keeps by default the wildcards (the * here) if there is no match
- sudo do not expand wildcards nor call a shell to do that
Thanks Francis, if the name of the file is a long string as it was in
this case, is there an abbreviation we can use to not have to type the
full name?
There isn't. Just do "sudo -i" and run commands as root.
