Hello,
After upgrading to debian 12 (bookworm), I have no display manager running. Black screen and only with console available after ctrl-alt-F4
Here is my config:Here is what I did
==================
I upgraded from debian 10 (buster) to debian 11 (bullseye), using this procedure:
https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-upgrad ... debian-11/
(summary: change /etc/apt/sources.list, then apt update, apt upgrade and apt full-upgrade)
Everything was ok, very easy. I could reboot and boot in debian 11 and login after that. I had a graphical desktop, all my programs, mail etc.
So a few minutes later, next step was to migrate from debian 11 to debian 12 (bookworm), just using a similar procedure from:
https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-upgrad ... debian-12/
The upgrade seemed ok, but when I boot, there is no graphical manager.
First I get this:(but I think that I already had that in buster, and this file exists!)
Then after some 30 seconds, this message disapears and there is no graphical environment. Im stuck on a black screen. I can force switch to console with ctrl-alt-f4 and use of character mode is perfectly ok. It's debian 12:Starting xserver manually gives an error, but for me the cause is unclear:
it finishes with a "(EE) Caught signal 11 (Segmentation fault). Server aborting".
I may be wrong but I think that it's not relevant, it's probably caused by this previous cause.
The log seems ok until arriving to those 3 lines:After these lines, I think we should see this:But instead of that, there is a backtrace appearing:I tried many actions to solve this, without success:

- sudo start xserver (failed, even worse: unable to connect to x server: connection refused)
- played with /etc/apt/sources.list, adding or removing non-free and/or non-free-firmware and redoing update and upgrade
- tried "sudo tasksel", adding or removing some distributions (gnome, gnome flashback, kde, etc).
- tried to play with systemctl set-default (currently graphical.target).
- also tried to remove or reinstall packages which seemed involved in a graphical context (like xserver-xorg-core or xserver-xorg-video-nouveau
- As Nvidia has always been several days or weeks of hard work to make it run under linux, I also purged "*nvidia*" packages, just in case...
