I share your frustration. In working on a problem I had, I first went
to the web. Right away I found a 'solution'. Tried it, it didn't work.
Looked some more, and found a few more 'solutions', none of which
worked either. As you noted, some of these were older solutions that
don't work anymore, but even some new ones didn't either. Even the
Ubuntu site has older stuff that doesn't work in the newer version.
Trying some of these 'solutions' actually messed up the system even
worse, and I ended up with more problems than I had at the beginning.

What led to somewhat better solutions was to restrict G searches to
only the most recent ones. Turned out a mix of new and somewhat old
info was what was needed, so a simple time-restricted search is only
somewhat helpful.

Given the above, the best solution is to ask on the list and hope some
guru will be helpful rather than hostile. If it's a bit complex,
perhaps the guru might point you to the one(s) that work, out of the
perhaps dozens that don't work.
