Hello everyone,
I'm using Debian for personal PC. I moved into linux January 2019. Until then I used windows versions. I didn't face any problem before upgrading. I used Stretch version. I updated my debian stretch to buster on 01 August 2019. I didn't knew that there are specific ways to do that, I like using terminal for that sorts of stuff, so I opened terminal type below commands,
01. sudo apt-get update
02. sudo apt-get upgrade
There were about 400MB. After that, some icons had changed. I first noticed nautilus icon on docker changed. So I closed nautilus and tried to open it. But I couldn't. So then I tried to open nautilus through terminal. It gives me below error message,
bash: nautilus: command not found
So then I tried to run different commands, "ls, ls, hibernate, etc..." and non of them works. I started searching on the internet to fix these problems. I didn't find a good solution for nautilus fix. So I installed "Thunar" file manager for temporarily. Then I found a solution for the commands not working error I have, I tried "/bin/ls", and it worked. But not all, still there are lots of commands that not working.
I tried different ways and different solutions to fix my nautilus problem. I'll post below what I see with the commands I give,
root@joseph:/home/joseph# nautilus
bash: nautilus: command not found
root@joseph:/home/joseph# apt-get install nautilus

After that, I found a guide to upgrade to buster from stretch. (
https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-upgra...bian-10-buster) I checked it and I found, that I need to update the source.list before upgrading. So then I updated the source list and upgraded again. It downloads about 400MB again. But problems still there. It's still the same.
I have no I idea how can I fix this problem. I'm pretty sure that there must be a way to fix these problems without reinstalling the system. But I really really need to fix this somehow without reinstalling.
Feel free to ask me any question and I'll try my best to co-operate with you.
Thank you.
