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. Stephen P.
