If you think that electromagnetic radiation does not harm human health, then you are very wrong.

#227 Re: Off-topic » Error in VirtualBox, hoping for help » 2023-04-07 11:26:05

Instead of Virtualbox, I suggest you use kvm. The Kernel Virtual Machine, or KVM, is a full virtualization solution for Linux on x86 (64-bit included) and ARM hardware containing virtualization extensions (Intel VT or AMD-V). It consists of a loadable kernel module, kvm.ko, which provides the core virtualization infrastructure and a processor specific module, kvm-intel.ko or kvm-amd.ko.

If you are interested and want to try it, you will need the following packages:

sudo apt update

sudo apt install qemu-kvm libvirt-clients libvirt-daemon libvirt-daemon-system bridge-utils virtinst virt-manager

In order to manage virtual machines as a regular user, that user needs to be added to the libvirt group:

#adduser youruserrname libvirt
#adduser youruserrname libvirt-qemu

After installing and setting everything up, reboot your computer.

So the last line of your .xsession should just be:

exec /usr/bin/<WM>

Hello. Should not be

.xsession

but

.xsessionrc

The Debian reference manual describes how the defaults work:

If the user has a ~/.xsessionrc file, read it.
If a specific session was selected in the DM (GDM, KDM, WDM, LightDM, ...) , run it.

Otherwise, if the user has a ~/.xsession or ~/.Xsession file, run it.

Otherwise, if the /usr/bin/x-session-manager command exists, run it.

Otherwise, if the /usr/bin/x-window-manager command exists, run it.

Otherwise, if the /usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator command exists, run it.

This file should be executable. Here is example of

.xsessionrc 
#!/bin/bash

# Load resources

xrdb ~/.Xresources

setxkbmap -layout "us,lt,ru" -option "grp:menu_toggle"

picom --config ~/.config/picom/picom.conf &

exec xmonad
