Now I am confused. I had used synaptic to install a good number of 
bacula things, 19 total but when I re-ran synaptic just now, it didn't 
show what I'd previously  installed. Figuring the tray monitor could be 
used for error checking, but it wasn't in the original list and 
selecting that resulted in 27 more pkgs to be installed.  I clicked on 
apply.

And  the configuration script was started.  When I got to the first pw 
entry, I put that in and hit enter which did nothing, hit it again, 
nothing, realized it expected a mouse click, which then proceeded thru 
several more options, none of which seemed to ask where the storage will 
take place at, then asked for the pw again. But its stuck, repeatedly 
telling me the pw's don't match.  So I'm thinking the enter key is part 
of the pw originally recorded. And there's no way to backup to the start 
and redo the original pw. This has synaptic stuck in a loop, apparently 
forever.

How do I proceed?  armbian is only configured for two workspaces ATM, so 
the 2nd one is still available. I can configure/open more if needed.
