Are you using polyglot or UCI2WB? Stockfish is an UCI engine, not a
winboard one so it needs an adapter program.
If either application is integrated with xboard correctly (i.e. present
in path with the default settings)
Launch stockfish with
"stockfish" -fUCI

I decided to start over with my debian VM on my work PC. I installed
the standard xboard software, as well as a few chess engines
(including stockfish 12).
Most of the engines seem to work as expected, but stockfish 12 never
makes any moves. Does this sound familiar to you?
