Dear Debian Folks, I changed from jessie to stretch in my sources.list file and then did aptitude safe-upgrade.
It worked OK or so it seemed. But then I decided to try aptitude dist-upgrade afterward. That wanted to rehash the xorg-server video package and after doing it when I boot up the window manager does not start up. I can boot in recovery mode but if I do that as root if I run aptitude it doesn't download packages - I think there is no internet connection being made. What sort of output that I could get in recovery mode (eg var log files dmesg output) would be useful to help fix this? Thanks for the help. Regards Michael Fothergill
