First, when I install the sysprof package, I notice:

Setting up sysprof (47.2-1) ...
sysprof3.service is a disabled or a static unit, not starting it.

Is this normal?

I use the lightdm display manager with lightdm-gtk-greeter
(i.e. the default greeter), and fvwm2 as my window manager
(no desktop environment).

If needed, I could try to skip my usual setup, in case this matters.

I've attached the strace (compressed), if you can find something
abnormal.

Possibly not needed for the moment, but documentation to do that
would be welcome. I've found mentions of virtualbox, but it is
not installable on Debian/unstable yet, apparently due to the
unfinished python3.13 transition.
