Wheezy is LTS (though admittedly more successfully for servers), so if everything Just Worked, and you liked it, why did you change? There are indeed valid reasons, but what is yours? Lisi, as you must know, Debian moves on; eventually Stable becomes Old-stable, and after a while support, especially security support disappears. I have been using Debian at least since Sarge. I forget the different Toy Story names(potato, squeeze. etc), but I eventually went to wheezy, which is now very old. I have never had trouble moving from one Debian to the next. Until now. jessie has given me immense trouble, vastly more than any other installation. Knowing what I know now: perhaps I should have stayed with wheezy until stretch became stable. I hope that answers your question. I don't think the above answer helps you, or anyone else, to solve my problems(the one remaining one, after all this time and effort, is _sound_/alsa). But I am trying to be cooperative. In another related post you ask: By what method did you try and what reason have you to think that it is already installed? You are referring to alsa. My answer: I have alsa-utils in my /etc/init.d/, and I have looked at this script. I get no complaint from it upon booting. Best wishes, Alan
