It's not important as long as it's not significant. I thought it might be
affecting the boot process.

I made a new guest machine using your instructions. There are a few issues
here:
Step 3: the file names are LilyDev-1-debian-vm and the raw fle is .iso not .raw
Step11: I got an error from the command:
[dev@LilyDev:~]$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-layout
[sudo] password for dev:
debconf: unable to initialize frontend: Dialog
debconf: (No usable dialog-like program is installed, so the dialog based
frontend cannot be used. at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/FrontEnd/Dialog.pm line
76.)
debconf: falling back to frontend: Readline
dpkg-query: package 'keyboard-layout' is not installed and no information is
available
Use dpkg --info (= dpkg-deb --info) to examine archive files,
and dpkg --contents (= dpkg-deb --contents) to list their contents.
/usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: keyboard-layout is not installed
[dev@LilyDev:~]$
So I used the mechanism in the current CG Step 8 to change the keyboard -
probably a better idea and more user-friendly. Unless, of course, the clipboard
is working.
After all that I tried your idea of starting the clipboard manually - it
worked!! Or I'd never have managed to get the above text right :)
So the basic question is: why isn't it starting up? I used to be a Solaris
sysadmin, but that ended 20 years ago and my copy of Frisch is long gone.
