I edited the new debian.sources file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d according to debian instructions, started to upgrade and successfuly upgraded to 13.0, at least core debian (can use mpv, vlc, thunar, libreoffice…)
Problem is, this notebook with debian 13.0 doesnt have a working network manager and there are still 900 packages that need upgrading.
The command I entered in the terminal: sudo systemctl status NetworkManager.service returns: unit NetworkManager.service could not be found.
I have an android phone I thought I could use as a network hotspot or maybe tether, but debian 13.0 doesnt recognize it, so I really dont know what to do
Lan cable didnt work either.
Help appreciated
ETA: THANK YOU GUYS FOR YOUR AWESOME HELP!!!
special thanks to InnerScientist and stuner for their approach but what worked was what IHave69XiBucks proposed.
Connect a lan cable and:
ip a (shows network interfaces and ips ip a a 192.168.<subnet>.<unused ip>/24 dev <interface> (get the subnet from your router or phone WiFi settings, interface is the interface starting with "en" from the first command, for unused ip just try your phone IP +1) ip r a default via <router IP> (router IP can be seen in your phones WiFi settings under gateway)Also checkout /etc/resolv.conf, replace its content with “nameserver 8.8.8.8”
For reference, those letters are just short for, respectively
address address add route add
Case sensitivity may be the problem. Try
systemctl status NetworkManagerSorry, corrected it. Results didnt change
but what worked was what IHave69XiBucks proposed.
Why do I not see his comment?
Your Lemmy instance blocks the lemmygrad instance where IHave69XiBucks resides. My instance does too.
