[SOLVED] Can't find file or directory
by zl3jbb from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5JQZQ)
Hi apologies as this is likely a common question but the search just keeps returning 504.
Somehow today I lost the ability to cd /into a directory I can clearly see is there with the ls command. It's happened to (/etc/apt). I have spent/wasted an entire afternoon on the web and youtube looking for an answer only to find either very confusing or stupid results. I can still cd ./apt but not just do a cd /apt to move in to it?? I'm sure it's a simple fix with adding a path or alias or something relating to .bash.something, but I am pretty green at this and really need help to return the function of just using the standard cd command to move in to the directory.
I think!? It happened at some point through looking with nano at my source.list to fumble through trying to fix a bunch of apt repository errors for updating... Sooo new at this and it's taking so much time! *arrrgh I have only got half answers to everything and it's doing my head in. I exited from nano and didn't make any changes, so not sure how it got to be broken :( I'm using Bullseye because my lappy won't run any other distro that I can find, there are other things to fix on the lappy too, but I am making do for the time being and trying to get the basics repaired, before moving on to the other stuff.
