Re: gdm does not start; lost networking
Hi Ralf,
Thanks for the debugging help. That makes sense about X being a
little messed up, since I was installing X libraries last night. I'll
attach the output to those commands. I am seeing X-type errors in
.xsession-errors. This, in particular I think is the smoking gun:
(polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1:2389): polkit-gnome-1-WARNING **:

org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.Authority.EnumerateTemporaryAuthorizations() on

Networking is up and running, thanks. I tested apt-get with
sudo apt-get install unsort
This happened last night. apt would suggest to remove a whole slew of
libraries. Unfortunately, I let it. It did it again today. I included
that in the file. Why is it saying it cannot be verified? That was new
last night, too.
So, do you or does anyone else know how to restore X so that gdm will
work once again?
Thanks,
Chris

As root run
/etc/init.d/network-manager start
I'm using network-manager, but I also can run a script and connect
to
the Internet without network manager. I can't explain how to do this
for
Debian, since regarding to systemd's device naming even eth0 became
an
obscure name for my Linux.
"start" isn't the only option, other, perhaps all options are stop|
restart|status.
If X shouldn't start, you should take a look at the log files, it's
likely that GDM isn't broken, but that something is fishy with X.
As root or user run
grep EE /var/log/Xorg.0.log
As user run
cat ~/.xsession-errors
