Stop thinking "Windows" and think logically.

The easiest way was the one which is also the logical one.

Instead of reinstalling the whole OS and leaving out a package/not configuring a bridge, the logical way is to remove what seems to disturb things.

And obviously it worked, because it was something that makes perfect sense in contrast to "perfect sense when dealing with windows".

So please _never_ use "Windows experiences" to solve Linux problems.
