Noticed in another post to
Noticed in another post to run a command:
nomko@MSI-GE70-2PE:~$ sudo stat /root/.cache/doc
[sudo] wachtwoord voor nomko:
stat: kan status van '/root/.cache/doc' niet opvragen: Bestand of map bestaat niet
It is in Dutch but is says it cannot request the status of /root/.cache/doc because file or folder does not exist.
