been fighting my over recent days [my fault; i broke all my profiles by trying a #CunningPlan about non-std storage directory structures, sigh], & so once i eventually concluded i could not satisfactorily fix my mess, i created a buncha new profiles [names auto-generated]. one such is ULAz8vOv.Profile 3 & after my eyes settled on those initial letters, i now have a delightful earworm of

many many many hours later...

- it turned out that, despite all appearances to the contrary, in fact #distrobox actually is [mostly] working ok in my main pooter's real

😮
- there clearly are two bugs with it [again, only here, not in my VMs], coz as i showed before, the process of entering the container never [seems to] complete... but i discovered by accident several hours later, when, furious at this idiocy, i had begun contemplating a clean installation of

! ... the new container/s do get listed in the plasma apps menu despite the apparent terminal hang 😮
- when said new DB container terminal/s are then launched, they incorrectly continue to indicate they are

sessions, but despite this mis-labelling, in fact it/they are the container ones, eg, in this new

sid one, pacman throws errors of "not installed", which is the first clue, then apt ofc does run 😮

so, after unnecessary hours if not day of stress & profanities, i'm now belatedly orf to da races re my #cunningplan

@AMonkeyInSilk elbow's ongoing impersonation of a rwnj continuing to go very well. tbh he's rather masterful at it. simply nobody could guess that in reality he's a seething leftie firebrand. all part of his #cunningplan , shirley?

@Susan60 three thingies, fwiw

it's rooly good -- onya! 🥇

was bugging me that you look familiar [first saw this thread last night], & just now it clicked why... your original, otherwise one of the prior, profile pics was you, micro, many many times over, on a disco ball or something, & i recall i zoomed it on it one day. busted! heehee

"So many alterations & corrections" -- an alternative approach that would dramatically reduce sketching & revision time, would be to dash orf a quick initial sketch, then take it to a plastic surgeon as their template to apply. i see no difficulties with this #cunningplan
