Hello! So I just installed Debian without anything (meaning I didn't check any of the boxes at the end of the installation) so I only have a CLI, which is fine. But I installed the package "budgie-core", and now I am trying to install a display manager, such as "xdm" to be able to use this desktop. So I installed xdm, and when I reboot, I am sent to the CLI again. What should I do so the display manager runs automatically at boot? Or maybe run my desktop without a display manager?
Thanks for the help!

You can try it without a display manager by running
This should start Budgie as long as it is set as /etc/alternatives/x-session-manager.
xdm is an interesting choice of display manger, try this to enable it:
GDM or LightDM might be a better choice though.
Code: Select all
