Please restart your session without Wayland, or run Synaptic without

Thank you. That's the error I saw
Correction: the above is not an error message. It's a guess of the
likely cause of the error message emitted earlier.
Synaptic run as a regular user is useless, except to search
for things.
Not if you start it properly, so it can request admin credentials
when needed.

welp, I just did a net install of at least half of bookworm, after
stripping the system of all but the drive I wanted to boot from
including unplugging the raid controller, rebooted to kde and kmail
refused to log into my isp's imap server. So I had apt install a few
things I use, then rebooted to gnome, and I must say the eye candy has
improved, a lot. Then I assembled my raid10 for home and mounted it so
tbird is looking good and working as me. Then I repeated it for a swap
I have on the raid, and enabled it, so now there 50 gigs on sda, and
57gigs on the raid, and htop says 107 gigs. I've not tried 95% of my
daily drivers yet, but its running pretty smooth and fast enough for the
girls I go with if I ever invite another to share my real estate.
Oh, and synaptic asks for a pw, I give it mine, and it runs just fine.
Cheers, Gene Heskett.
