Hi,
I believe you are using a terminal from another computer, and not using a remote X or Wayland client like VNC? (e.g. "I usually access it via ssh")
That is correct, ssh in bash in xfce4-terminal in XFCE in X11 under
kernel 6.1.0-32-amd64.
If so, please use apt to install software.
If you need to reboot to complete the installation
# systemctl reboot
shutdown doesn't. I mean it acts like it does, goes through the
motions, and ends up with a computer that's unresponsive and off the
network, but fans & drives are still spinning. "poweroff" works, but I
don't know if it shuts down the OS gracefully or is equivalent to
pulling the plug. Also it suspends the OS after a few minutes, so I
gotta find out where that's controlled.
to run synaptic you would need to do this on the computer itself, not remotely unless you are using a remote X or Wayland client like VNC.
So ssh is right out? That sucketh much. It's not all X clients that
don't work, so what's the determinant for not working? Those that use
root? GTK?
