If you want use nodm, only run apt-get install nodm in enough.

lightdm and nodm can co-exist in the same machine.

When install nodm after lightdm, It'll display a prompt let user choise "Default 
display manager".

You may choice nodm to use.


Yes - thanks.
But a package that does not work and is useless can be purged.

There seems no solution in sight.

When there is only one user that can be automatically logged in the 
nodm display manager can solve the problem.


Use:
agt-get purge lightdm


I do not agree use this command directly, this will cause dark screen 
and back to tty.


My wireless network connection is also down, (My notebook use Xfce)

so I can't install nodm use apt in the next.



apget install nodm

Bug#992592: lightdm does not start / work any more after system upgrade

[Karsten]

Hello maintainer,

here i have the same problem after upgrading a server with XFCE from Debian 9 
to 10 and then to 11.

After the upgrade there is only a blinking cursor on the monitor.
I already did make an reinstall of the package lightdm.

The X-server and XFCE is working.
I have to get an user console with Ctrl-Alt-F1 and the login with the user.
After that i can call startx to start the X-Server and XFCE.

This package is unusable now.
Please help to solve the problem.

Best regards
karsten
