In a sense, yes. See following. > Does this mean the "LinuxAos" thing is in a virtual machine, or a container, > or > something? > > Is it an application? Or is it an operating system? LinuxAOS (special case of UnixAOS) is analogous to DOSBox. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DOSBox https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Oberon/A2#Installing_and_Running_UnixAOS Both are applications in the sense of running on a host system. The application alone appears identical to the system running on native hardware. DOSBox appears as DOS. LinuxAOS appears as AOS. > You're running Debian on the actual machine itself, right?

Lightdm starts at system startup and starts X which runs until Debian is shut down. This is the LAN with your nomenclature. A Debian 10 running directly on a bare PC. B LinuxAOS subsystem running in Debian on A. C OLPC adapted Fedora running on XO 1.5 laptop. > From host C on the LAN, you ssh into Debian (call that host A).

It does work with repeated warning. The telnet console in LinuxAos connects to localhost, A, and gives the A command line. There the met function starts mousepad successfully and gives the dconf-WARNING repeatedly. > Is that the full picture? Yes. Summary Mousepad is started two ways. Each gives a working mousepad. Each gives repeated warnings; B warns about dconf; C warns about Gtk ... Theme parsing. Full warnings in my earlier messages. Thanks, ... P. -- tel: +1 604 670 0140 Bcc: peter at easthope. ca
