Sculpt w/ Visual Composition, outdated Debian URL

[baconicsynergy at protonmail.ch]

Debian installed perfectly!!

I didn't realize at first. The URL resolved properly, but I was under the assumption that it froze right afterward. It turns out that I needed to instantiate the "vm" module.

I figured this out the hard way. I was reading the Sculpt documentation (which I think is slightly outdated), and manually uncommented the following modules from /config/deploy :

shared_fs
usb_devices_rom
vm_fs
wm
vm

and everything worked! I don't think I needed to uncomment everything listed, but it worked nonetheless.

Thank you for this exciting opportunity. I'm looking forward to a new year of Genode development :D
