Hi Jeff, Well done on solving your problem. I must say I missed the single underscore completely :). It is wonderful when casperites solve their own problems :).
Yes, please keep me posted on Pop OS! or Pop!_OS. I had to look that up to be honest. I see it is indeed derived from Ubuntu 18.04LTS. If it works then we will update the documentation - this is what CASPER is about = collaboration! Great to have your energies Jeff.
