      Look at this command:

      cat /boot/config-‘uname -r‘ | grep -i zswap

      The correct form of this command contains backticks (`) and not single quotes (‘). But if I copy-paste the correct form in this forum, the backticks are taken as BBCodes:

      cat /boot/config-uname -r | grep -i zswap

        Maybe you need to use back ticks ` not single quotes ‘ – they make a big difference to some commands.

        (This forum software unfortunately has a few problems.)

          Backticks I used, so I correct my original post to make the problem clear.

            I tried different tricks to escape backticks, but none would work … 🙁

                It’s another one I think.
                if you copy and paste the comand
                cat /boot/config-‘uname -r‘ | grep -i zswap

                from terminal, like it has to be in terminal with backticks, by using the code button
                the BBCodes software does the following

                cat /boot/config-uname -r| grep -i zswap
