Re: [Debian News] proxmox Platinum Sponsor of DebConf24

It's sp good to see that certain commercial entities whom make their bread and butter by build their software solutions on-top of FOSS software bases. I wish that Moore corporate entities would follow Proxmoxs' lead and become active in supporting FOSS projects.

I'd recommend that the OP try and grab the X11 and waylaid startup log files which usefully reside at /var/logs/X11 and /var/log/wayland. And either post them to the the debian 'ysers forums useing the code tags or to the following https://pastebin.com/.

Re: [Software] Install VirtualBox

I think that it would be beneficial if the OP consider using the fastback,debain.net package archive, as it tends to have the newest releases of YirtualBox that have been thoroughly back the Debian community.
I've had great sucess using the verion of Virtual box from the aforementioned repository.
