Nice, thank you for the inform.


What I suppose is that a Debian upgrade from your Stretch-Backports to Buster seems to me relatively safe, minus the fact that installing all backports packages might have broken the system, even slightly. So desinstalling and reinstalling Gnome might not be sufficent. And thus a fresh install of Buster would probably be safer.

Alright, now I understand the reason and I could agree with you or at least understand your concerns.. Sure I would prefer a re-installation, but the migration of my system exactly as it is again.. in this case it's a "heavy" process for me.
But I will definitely do it - sooner or later.

I don't want to tire you out, but I would love to learn my operating system thanks to this misfortune. If they were in my position a system administrator or a software developer or a hacker about Debian GNU/Linux, what checks would he do to fix it ?

Certainly ( format ) reinstalling the entire operating system would solve the problem. But this way is a little childish, isn't it?

In my system, something is wrong. Surely something is not working properly. But what is this? Can't find what exactly is to blame?
Can't find what exactly is responsible for that?

Thank really you very much!
