Re: tramp (2.4.3.27.1 nil/nil); /sudo doesn't work

[Giovanni Ruggiero]

They are just the prefix I've tried, after those I've added the semicolon and the path.

To be more precise, to open the alternatives.log file, I've tried:

/sudo:root@localhost:/var/log/alternatives.log

/sudo:localhost:/var/log/alternatives.log

/sudo:<hostname>:/var/log/alternatives.log

/sudo:root@<hostname>:/var/log/alternatives.log

/sudo:127.0.0.1:/var/log/alternatives.log

/sudo:root@127.0.0.1:/var/log/alternatives.log

//sudo::/var/log/alternatives.log

and none of them works

Thank you

Looks like you're missing the final colon, like in /sudo:root@localhost:
The most simple way to open is just /sudo::
