Debian Jessie To Stretch
After succesfull upgrade from Jessie to Stretch via:
Jessie:
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get dist-upgrade
and after changing the APT-sources to Stretch:
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get dist-upgrade
the desktop environment (XFCE4, Gnome, KDE, etc.) did not start - the monitor showed a blank screen.
The solution was to create the file ".xsession" in the home folder, with the content:
#!/bin/sh
exec startxfce4
After reboot, the desktop environment was started successfully.
The interesting question now is, why was this file not necessary in "Jessie" ?
