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

      Alright try to plug in the ethernet cable and run

      ip link show

      sudo dhclient eth0 (Replace “eth0” with your interface name check with ip link)

      If you see the interface, but its not managed run

      sudo ip link set eth0 up

      sudo dhclient eth0

      (Once again use the interface from ip link)

      Assuming you have network connection again run

      sudo apt install --reinstall network-manager

      sudo systemctl enable --now NetworkManager

      If all that works run

      sudo apt update

      sudo apt full-upgrade

      sudo apt autoremove

      If that doesn’t work run

      journalctl -b -p 3 --no-pager

      and tell me what that says
