Ok. Restarting with a fresh Debian install. Let's see if this official wiki "instructions" are better than the last....
🙏
@Mainebot Thx! It seems so easy, but nooooooope.... always something missing. Argh! (in my best pirate voice) 😉
@Averly unfortunately, instructions are almost always written by experts who assume that you know all these background details that come with domain expertise, whereas in reality the typical reader is flailing in deep Waters well beyond the safety rope of their depth of knowledge.
Or something like that. The metaphor doesn't work as well when I write it down as when I thought of it.
@MightyBigCar Me thinks it's secretly a game... like those escape rooms where you have to solve obvious puzzles to escape. But... I'm alone and trapped!
@Averly seriously! There should be an envelope you can rip open to get the Critical Clue Shortcut that lets you solve the mystery. Even if it is something like "sorry, you can't do that on Fedora 28, so everybody dies", it would save a lot of hassles and angst.
@kemonine
No 😔
I’ll try again later. Although I think I was close.
@Averly good luck!
