VM setup guide not mentioning venv activation? about documentation

[forslund]

You shouldn't (TM) need to manually activate the venv, the start script should handle that automatically.

If you're getting errors during startup there may be a bug...

Hi Joshua, can you post the commands you used and the output you got?

Also can you confirm the OS you're running and which version of VirtualBox?

I think that is mainly an issue with msm/pako reporting this error even when there are no system packages to install... (basically none of the default skills require special system packages to be installed)

Edit: and thanks for such a clear and concise description!
