I just installed a cisco vpn. And after installing some required libraries I got the option to get rid of “unused” libraries. So I did ‘sudo apt autoremove’ as suggested. After I rebooted I no longer have a either x11 or wayland in the drop down menu. I can no longer login via the GUI.

Running latest Debian.

Where did I go wrong? Any immediate help appreciated 🙏

Edit: The Cisco VPN required me to download libkit2gtk-4.0-dev if that has anything to do with it?

Edit2: Thanks for all the tips and help. Won’t happen again 😅

    See if you can just re-install a desktop environment. Try sudo apt-get install --reinstall gnome (or maybe cinnamon-desktop-environment, whichever you prefer). Then reboot, see if that does anything.
