Apt-get dist-upgrade broke my system
by MrPontes from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6J6YP)
I'm running the newest version of Debian and I was trying to install VLC but it required packages I didn't have, so I was told to run the command "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" to install these packages.
It worked and I was able to install VLC but when I restarted the computer, it showed me the login screen with my username selected like always. However, when I click my username and type my password, it gets stuck on the spinning wheel for about a minute and then it goes back to the login screen like nothing happened. If I click my username again and type my password it does the same thing and brings me back to the login screen.
I already tried to make the terminal appear by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1 but nothing happened. I also tried with the other F keys but the terminal didn't appear.
What can I do to fix this?
Thank you
