What does it mean, that you "now have no desktop"?
Doesn't start X? Doesn't start the display manager? Doesn't start the
desktop environment?
Is there any output or any information by a log file, e.g. is there a
~/.xsession-errors and if so, then what's the date of it and what's it
content?
Did you already do Internet inquiries yourself, e.g. did you google for
"how to find out if something is installed on my debian", without the
quotation marks? IOW why don't you know if it's installed or not?
Please reply to the mailing list only and provide more information.
Regards,
Ralf

Ralf -
Sorry for the delay--
What does it mean, that you "now have no desktop"? Only the command prompt
Doesn't start X? Doesn't start the display manager? Doesn't start the
desktop environment? No to all of the 3.
Is there any output or any information by a log file, e.g. is there a
~/.xsession-errors and if so, then what's the date of it and what's it
content? I have been trying to use mutt, with no success. Any help you
can provide on this? Then I can generate files and send them.
Did you already do Internet inquiries yourself, e.g. did you google for
"how to find out if something is installed on my debian", without the
quotation marks? IOW why don't you know if it's installed or not? It is
called locate.
There are Mate files there but errors are shown with the desktop files.
My problem now is with Mutt.

Ralf -
Finally got mutt [I like the name 'puppy', it is not as derogatory as
mutt] to work. I apologize for the length of this....
