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
