    Just summarizing the thoughts on IRC, could we please have a clear
    understanding of the involved steps for installing greenfields, and what
    is the exception or problem subsequent ?

The Installation Guide(s) at docs.o.o are the steps to installing Greenfields.

I have attached the error logs that our tester, Brian Moss, sent to me earlier this morning.
He has noted that some people have been able to get the instructions to work, but many others haven't.
Also, noted that some are failing on Ubuntu and RDO, so it isn't a distro specific problem either.

He has also tested the docs that are in-tree and were unable to get anything working from those either (I do not have Brian’s error logs from that incident). The instructions he has written for the patch[0] were based off these instructions.

This obviously makes for a very ‘general’ problem, but one that is of major concern to us. At the moment, we have had plenty of reviews on the patch I originally referenced, and no one was able to agree on all the procedural steps.

    Sure, will do.

Thank you :)

We are concerned that this is something small we are potentially missing, something perhaps that devs aren't noticing it is missing because it’s ‘ingrained’.
Essentially, we need the full procedure working for Greenfields. Any help is greatly appreciated!
