Ralf, Andreas, Bob

thank you for your answers.

As always, there are so many things to consider when a new system is 
installed
that it is difficult to find the starting point for a search for

With your hints I found what I needed and now I can work from there.
If I have a question I come back.

BTW: I am using 'lightdm'; i.e. that is what was installed automatically.
