I had to apply this solution to make this step work on Mint 2.1

Maybe Readme.md could be updated.

Encountered the same issue on a fresh VM install of Pop 22.04. I agree, a note in the README.md would be appreciated.

[aphelionz]

which README does this belong in, ours?

[zeapoz]

Yeah, I'd say so. I could file a quick PR for it soonish.
