Great, I'll do that when I'll upgrade. I have lots of su -c 'blah' scripts... Thanks!
For another quirk, the /etc/dbus-1 directory only contained two subdirs only, no links to .conf's.
One positive note, mokutil --sb state reports "SecureBoot enabled", which happened without my having done anything else.
MOST IMPORTANT HELP WANTED:
===========================
That laptop features a radeon "Vega 6" graphic card, which doesn't seem to be recognised (lspci -k reports no drivers for VGA and Non-VGA entries). I'm wandering if I should try and install the packages in https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/release-notes/rn-prorad-lin-18-20, for Ubuntu 18.04. Don't they do Debian?
Best
Ale
