Thanks @mrclary for the info and then glad is working for you now @nayfaan !

I will leave this open for the moment (in case @nayfaan setup fails again in the near future) however if in the future you experience this again @nayfaan and this issue is closed (after sometime we usually close staled issues) feel free to open another one and put a reference to this one.
