Is there a way to reinstall lightdm and the greeter from Fedora ??
Perhaps using chroot
which I have zero knowledge of.
Since the problem seems to be the display manager/greeter, there's a
good chance that you can press Ctrl+F1 (or F2, F3...) to reach a
console, so no need to a console to reinstall debian packages. Try also
Ctrl+Alt+Fn.
I never tried that unfortunately. It might have saved me a lot of
trouble. I finally got lightdm and it's greeter reinstalled after
fixing some other problems and the system then booted fine. The strange
thing in my mind is how the whole thing happened, as only the lightdm
greeter had been updated and that was a few days ago.
Thanks for the suggestion - Ill try to keep it in mind.
