take how pythoneye has written instruction.
tight and clean.
step by step
One step per line of posted conversation. ( or spaces between or bullet points or whatever)
No fluff, no stories, no anecdotes, save it for later ...after the grunt work is done...

Be ...to the point.

save the fun chat for afterwards.

If you do the same with each of your trials and errors ..
Then they can easily be studied to see where or what you are omitting
or where you are mistyping
or where you have done something wrong.
And those who can help,
can easily see the issue and help you faster.

I really don't get it. I purposely made a thread with a header "To amuse..." it to be clearly separated from posts where people either ask questions or give instructions. I put this thread under community instead of a proper place if I would have wanted to get help. In the beginning of both of my posts under this thread I have first clearly explained the reason for the post (which was not either asking help or to give instructions). I have done my best. Have others got it? And because of this I honestly said to you endsormeans that when I'm done trying my best and wan't to get help - I will certainly do it how you said it should be done. There is no ego stuff in my posts. I'm not pissed off of your posts. It just seems that for some reason this time you misunderstood the meaning of my post and this thread . So from my point of view it seems you are giving wrong instructions to this thread which was meant to only to amuse, not to ask or give instructions. I really hope you get this so we don't have to argue about something there really isn't at all and that you wont get too annoyed on me. But of course this kind of arguing may seem amusing if someone sees it right. Hope we get this cleared. If this kind of thread is not aloud - to just amuse - which I thought would be a good thing so no one would be annoyed of messing with real threads... and then I get instructions to write clear guestions and instructions on this thread which is not about doing something like that... and the one giving these is you endsormeans... I mean there is some irony here. Tell amusing stories in real threads - others get annoyed. Tell stories in a thread only made to amuse by telling stories - endsormeans says I need not to do so. I can't explain it more clearly. If someone undedrstands my point I would hope it would be expressed. Or did everyone miss what I am doing?

I genuinly hoped that you endsormeans would have here done freely what in any other thread is not supposed to do. And then it went like this. Or then you are just pulling me off and laughing cause I take it seriously what you are doing. There seems to be a need for some people just to have fun once in a while and this I thought would be a good place. A thread just for that. Should I have put some smileys on the header?

The entirety of your posted attempt at getting specific results and again and again with question marks at the end of queries ...essentially asking "Where or what am I doing wrong?"

Is either :
A - ASKING OTHERS FOR HELP.

or ..

If not A... as you are stating now that your entire post...its contents...the trial and error you are doing....
And the way you are asking for help....right down to punctuation..
isn't actually asking for help at all...
But meant purely as rhetorical questions to yourself...
And the entirety of said post was meant only to amuse.

Then ..

It must be

B- you are engaging in mental and (since this is a forum of discussion) social masturbation.

Regardless...
Whether A or B..
I am not impressed ..

We are either mistaking words like "what am I doing wrong?" ...at face value as asking for help..
And we are idiots for doing so since you now are stating the questions you posed are purely rhetorical.
And pointing to the header to justify it.

Or...

We are idiots applauding your brilliant navel gazing attempt at amusing us.

Either way...
I'm done....

Seacrest out!

Ooops. So sorry. This went down the sewer it seems. No idiots around. Just misunderstanding I think. Darn. And the only guy I had in jmind while writing this, whom I hoped to just fly with words as usual and have fun, is not having fun at all. My bad. Still ironic. Has anyone got it, anyone?

Carry on. This thread has turned out to be even more amusing.

No no, I am very amused by your endeavours!
As I said before, it is the trial and error and going the wrong way following instructions written by people who assume some specific level of knowledge which after all is not self-evident, however much we think it is!

@ajalkane beat me to it

Crap man...
This place isn't about impressing me...
(Even though it is a great idea..)
Otherwise the place would be called Talk Endsormeans...
Not Talk Maemo.

Impressing me isn't something I desire...
Frankly I would rather you be a grumpy argumentative POS...
like say...juiceme or pichlo...
Haahaha

What really impresses me are folks who help,
Help existing and new members,
Who contribute ...who come up with solutions...
Or techniques or patches or programs or workarounds ..etc.

THAT helps keep our community and our devics relevant ..
And makes us a community in how we work together.

And yes...
larking about is fun...
I enjoy it as much as the next guy...

But it isn't a standalone imperative ...
unto itself....
for me.

And if your last trial and error was indeed meant at humour...
Then it is quite the masochistic sense of humour you have ....
to work yourself into such a state for the amusement of others.

For me ...3 stooges ..is where its at for destructive humour...
Or python...

But I cannot say I enjoy another banging their head over and over trying to work something out ...and say its funny. Rather natural inclination is to ask if help is needed.

But its your sense of humour ...

After trying to give proper rights to mount points in terminal ended up destroying that much stuff that there came a lot of citical errors and had to start to install the whole system fresh. But problems came cause the system didn't recognize the usb boot anymore. Finally got it working and installed ubuntu mate on my Nokia Booklet 3G, the best friend of linux.
