However, minutes ago i took a mini-break, for preparation, to open Dolphin on another virtual desktop, &amp; Yakuake, in which i split the window &amp; ran <code>lsblk</code> in the lhs, then <code>blkid</code> in the rhs pane. I always forget that the latter needs <code>sudo</code> [since a couple of years ago], so ofc the command i had tried didn't work. Then, out of the blue, i suddenly remembered "the trick".</p><p>Rather than physically type <code>sudo blkid</code>, i instead typed <code>sudo !!</code>, which then automagically appended that erroneous prior cmd to the <code>sudo</code>, thus running the correct <code>sudo blkid</code>. Linux is so lovely! </p><p>💜🐧</p>
