Public bug reported:
I'm running the live server installer, version 24.04.3. (I can't figure
out how to find its package name.)
On any screen, including the very first one, if I arrow up to the Help
menu, it shows me an option for connecting via ssh. From that point on,
F1 *also* shows me that option.
But if I start from scratch and *just* use F1, the option *never shows
up,* until I *first* use the arrow-up method to get to the help menu.
At that point, it *always* shows up.
I spent a while thinking I was losing my mind, because I'd seen it once
and then it just never seemed to show up on the next install. Doing web
searches for "server install" and "ssh" and so forth only hit installing
ssh servers after the OS is already installed, which of course is no
help. This is a really frustrating and puzzling papercut; presumably
arrowing up to Help is initializing something that F1 is not doing.
(This also means that people who always use F1 and never figure out that
they can arrow all the way up to the Help menu probably never realize
this option exists.)
