Beginners Questions • Synaptic: please restart your session without Wayland, or run Synaptic without root permission

Hello,

Installed 12.9 (net-installer). In terminal installed the mc. Added 'user' in /etc/groups for sudo. Then in synaptic changed the sources.list from bookworm to trixie. Upgrade with synaptic. That was on the 13th. Added the vbox guest additions and gcc + make. Oxygen theme and conky. That's it!

So, you are not running a Debian 12.9 (as stated in the topic), but you are running a Debian 13 (Testing, nicknamed Trixie) .

I don't get, at what step that I made, lightdm was enhanced with that Wayland option?

The /usr/share/wayland-sessions/xfce-wayland.desktop was installed when you upgraded from Debian 12.9 to Debian 13, according to your quote above.

Please update the subject of the first post from "Debian 12.9 in VBox. What is going on here?" to "Synaptic: please restart your session without Wayland, or run Synaptic without root permission".
