Hi to Everyone,
I am writing from my laptop on Ubuntu, but the problem I have is
with my Desktop running Debian Stretch.
Having unfortunately Okayed a proposal for an update (which I
rarely do…), upon restarting the system fails to launch X server.
I thought stretch is unsupported by Debian. Where did the update
come from?
I speculate that the OP's sources.list identifies the desired
distribution by a temporally relative suite name --say, "stable" or
"oldstable"
A one-word oxymoron: "stable"
These context-dependent suite "names" ought to be called pronouns or
something.
The so-called "codenames" are the actual names proper.
