Hi. I just installed Debian Bullseye on a refurbished computer which
I am going to use as a voip server. Now, due to my ignorance, at the
very end of the install, I selected to use #12 which said standard
system items.
Well, to my horror, I got gnome with all its dependencies. I ran
apt-get and purged all the gnome items. However, my outgoing
connection instead of being in /etc/network/interfaces is now managed
by network-manager. I don't want to use the gui, but there seems to
be no good way to configure the connection, should I need to do so.
/etc/systemd/network is empty.
So, how can I either get back to /etc/network/interfaces or somehow
manage the existing connection which is buried in
/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/ and is readable, but I could
never change it.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
If I may, redo the install from scratch and use '11' to only install
'standard system items' ! :)
To answer your question specifically, you can 'purge' networkmanager
with something like:
$ apt-get --autoremove purge <pkgs>
