The solution is easy: apt purge xorg xserver-xorg or patience

Hmm - but it is not recommend to remove the -core - that will be the next problem, matching drivers for the new -core-ABI

[Thomas]

I had the same problem and I decided to install first
xserver-xorg-video-all

and make then the upgrade. Now I can not start in graphical mode.

I'm a newbe in siduction and need help.

[dibl]

@Thomas, sorry -- I was hoping my warning would prevent anyone from breaking their siduction system.  If you will study your apt and dpkg logs in /var you MIGHT be able to see how to "go back" by removing the packages that have been installed in your last upgrade, and replace any packages that were removed.

In general, it is usually easier to wait for transitions to run through to completion than it is to force an upgrade after you see the warning.  That is the purpose of this forum -- to give the warning.

Ich kann mich mitlerweile mit startx wieder in die graphische Umgebung begeben. Doch auf das automatische Login im graphischen Modus komme ich nicht.

Unter welchem Topic soll ich das Problem einstellen?

[piper]

apt upgrade looks like this for the daring (I highly recommend waiting it out)

Actually, on LXQt with Intel graphics, it looks pretty good now.  Probably I'll wait for the held back package to also be available.

the LXQt part is fine - except that i had to mis-use our fixes repo until libfm-qt is through the infamous NEW queue - so libfm-qt, lximage-qt, lxqt-qtplugin, pcmanfm-qt will come from our repo. I simply can't accept that i made an release and ubuntu has working packages before us because of less bureaucracy.

[dibl]

... ubuntu has working packages before us because of less bureaucracy.

Ouch, and ubuntu supposedly based on Debian ....   

EDIT:  I just successfully updated a KDE system with Intel graphics.  Removed packages were xserver-xorg-video-mach64, xserver-xorg-video-qxl, xserver-xorg-video-r128, and xserver-xorg-video-vmware.  So be careful to make sure you don't need packages that are to be removed.

Just finished a d-u without problem, no removes and no hold packages, a lot of xorg upgraded. XFCE

Nvidia users might have to wait a bit longer, looks like its going to remove the nvidia-driver meta-package

The following packages will be REMOVED:

The new xorg-server 1.20.0 causes kde plasma panel freezes on both of my laptops with intel graphics cards. The laptops are Dell XPS 13 and Dell E4310. They were working perfectly before the upgrade and I haven't seen any bug reports yet. I am using the kernel modesetting driver on both machines. I can continue to work on any windows that I have open I just can't access anything via the panel or desktop.

I confirm, the same thing happens with my Lenovo G780 with Plasma and Intel graphics.
