Re: Update Debian 9 to 10

Kent thank you for your response.

I also had to install the GNOME, although using dpkg I saw related packages, so I thought that it was installed.

Is there a way to verify that something like DM (gdm) or GNOMe is installed, in order to know what to do?

Thank you all for your help.

The Display Manager was missing (gdm3), I installed it and the login works fine.

Now when I log in there is a blue screen and the cursor, nothing else is displayed.

Is there a problem with GNOME?

Probably.

You might try reinstalling Gnome; "aptitude reinstall task-gnome-desktop" might do it.

Or you might try creating and logging in as a different user, to see if that user has the same problem.

Or you might try selecting a different desktop/WM; "aptitude install xfce4" might do it, and selecting that environment on login.
