[Solved] network stopped working after upgrade

#1 Post by lucyferu »

after a usual

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update && sudo ap upgrade && sudo apt autoremove && sudo reboot
, i got welcomed by this message.

although it mentions bluetooth functionality, bluetooth is working alright. what im missing is network manager/internet connection.

does debian xfce has a default backup system (like Timeshift for Linux Mint) that i could use?

otherwise, any other suggestions?

What exactly have you upgraded? From you previous posts, it looks like you have installed a kernel from outside the Debian repositories.

then, it wouldn't connect, at which point i've updated my kernel following this guide and now my keyboard works even better than when i was using linux mint!
It looks like you have made a FrankenDebian. Please read this:

it was upgrading librewolf and another software i can't remember.

should i downgrade the kernel to the original one?
how can i do that?

i guess the answer to the backup image is no?

i read it, but it doesn't give any advice on how to undo a frankendebian.
i will read the whole document and stick to it since ive messed already too much, but right now i need a working machine. 🥲

If you need a newer kernel, you can use Debian Backports to install one.
