When I boot I just boot to the command line; sddm doesn't start.
What I have done so far to try to fix it:
- Code: Select all
apt-add-repository contrib
apt-add-repository non-free
aptitude install firmware-linux-nonfree
Thought that would do it but it didn't. So I followed the advice here:
https://wiki.debian.org/GraphicsCard
and uninstalled xserver-xorg-video-intel. xorg-server-core was already installed. After reboot still no sddm.
Here is some inxi outputs:

I tried booting with another live Linux distribution (Obarun) and X started okay.
lspci -knn | grep -iA3 vga said the graphics driver was i915
After googing Debian i915 I found I should install firmware-misc-nonfree, but I checked and it apparently already got installed along with firmware-linux-nonfree
Is it possible to get the X Window System going on this setup?
