Assuming that "can not" means that the find command successfully runs,
but doesn't show the location of the file, there are options, including:

sudo find / -name '*file*'    # In case of an extension or other guff.

or

sudo updatedb
locate -i file

Try just the "locate" command. updatedb may have been run automatically
since the file was added.

Good luck,

Erik
