Hi everyone!
I'm a new user getting started in Debian. I have an old Sony Vaio E series laptop that I've erased the current Windows 10 and giving it a new life with Debian 12. I followed along the installation instructions to the last step where it asks me to choose which desktop environment to install. Because I want a server environment, I only checked 3 boxes: web server, ssh server and standard system utilities. After that, I chose Yes to install GRUB as Debian is the only OS on my machine. Then at the last step, I chose 'reboot', unplug my USB and it did reboot into a terminal screen asking for my login information but while I was remembering my login credentials for a few seconds it has turned off and I can't find a way to reboot. I've tried the power button along with other buttons and it does not respond.
Is there anyway I could reboot the machine again so maybe I can try to reinstall Debian with a desktop environment? Please help me because I've searched through the forum and google but couldn't find a working answer for my situation.
