Hi, Am trying to upgrade a Debian Wheezy PC to Buster. The PC was successfully running Wheezy with KDE as desktop, in terms of hardware there are no changes. Initially, sddm was intalled to start KDE but that did not work for some reason, so now I starting KDE manually with startx. Any ideas? Thanks # cat .xinitrc ## Begin .xinitrc exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch --exit-with-session startkde ## End .xinitrc # lspci | grep VGA 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] RS880 [Radeon HD 4200] # grep "(EE)" .local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.

Thanks

Did you read and follow the instructions for distribution upgrading? (Probably not) Was your dist-upgrade path wheezy -> jessie -> stretch -> buster? (Probably not). Or did you just change wheezy's apt's sources.list to buster's, then apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade? (Probably, yes). Hence, the SNAFU. I suggest you don't waste anymore time trying to fix things, just back up your data and other important files, do a clean install of stretch and following the instructions, of course, dist-upgrade to buster. This is the recommended "safe" procedure by Debian instead of using buster's current installer which is still in alpha. It's all in the instructions. B
