First, let me assure the list that I am not
trying to ignite a flame war.
I have a legitimate reason for installing
Debian Buster on my Windows 10 laptop using Windows Subsystem
Linux and X410. I have a very important application for my
Computational Chemistry research program that has never been
ported to Linux.
After much thrashing about and hair pulling
(little enough to begin with) I succeeded.
However, there are several problems, minor
but annoying. I’m using the xfe4 desktop.
The Application Manager Logout function
will only allow Logout; Restart and Shutdown are grayed out.
On the System level, clicking on the
Synaptic Package Manager entry in the pulldown manual does
not open the app; sudo synaptic in the Xfce Terminal opens the
app and it is fully functional.
I hope to receive advise from this list. I
shudder to think of having to query MS, even if I got an
answer it would be very murky and impossible to implement.
Thanks in advance.
