Running Bullseye with XFCE. light-locker is running.
When the PC is locked, by default it is the username field that has focus
rather than the password field. Most screen lockers focus on the password
field. If I just start typing my password, it appears in the username
field and is in plain text
I have set the compose key (settings, keyboard, Layout tab) to Right Ctrl,
but it has no effect. Tried a couple of other keys too.
Same setup worked on Buster without problem (this is a new install, not an
upgrade). Am I missing something obvious, or is this a bug in Bullseye?
Looking on the www, some people recommend using apt-get -y upgrade or
apt-get -y install to avoid the following message:
"NNN packages can be upgraded. Run 'apt list
--upgradable' to see them."
Is "apt" unable to perform an "upgrade," or am I missing a command

I start out with:

and it installs all packages including mariadb without problems.
Then, when starting to configure mediawiki with the web page, a
database has to be created along with a db user for mediawiki's use:
pretty simple. AFTER you have tested your root password
add
Defaultsrootpw
