@edp17 - question ... I am finding that X session is not working in harbour-containers app. I heard on Telegram that it has been happening with 4.0 due to the change from nemo to defaultuser, and can be fixed by creating a defaultuser symlink, or rebuilding the app with a code change. I was going to work on that, but then I see that the default user on XZ2c is still nemo, not defaultuser. Any thoughts ?

On SFOS 4.0, default user would depend on whether you've got to 4.0 via OTA or fresh install. That should be for all official and on ports as Xperia Tama.

As a result: if you flash new 4.0 image -> defaultuser is used

if you come from earlier versions -> nemo is kept.

I don't remember when the user name switch happened. I have a feeling it was earlier than 4.0

the switch to defaultuser came with release 3.4. Since then I'm not able to start a containers on my Pro1. I fiddled around with symlinks and changes in the scripts. Even so I got X session to run, I haven't got a running container. I still hope there will be new packages which fixes these problems.

Yes, it was introduced with SFOS 3.4.0.

I've only gotten Xsession to work on Debian Sid and Devuan...
Start from scratch, open app and create new container, with "set up desktop" option checked. Let it go through the whole container setup, and also Xwayland build process. Don't lose internet connection and don't interrupt the process. The whole thing is 15-20 mins. Yhe terminal will close automatically whrn done. Then you can start the container and tap Xsession button, and should work.

I'm using XZ2compact ...

Maybe he has a symlink from nemo to defaultuser.
