A better way to disable boot-to-graphical-login is to use systemctl set-default multi-user.target > After put '/usr/sbin/gdm3' on it, the 'dist-upgrade' ran > without errors.

That sounds like a problem related to your graphics drivers. > Before the 'dist-upgrade', with the '/etc/X11/default-display-manager' > empty, it was possible to boot and use the console(tty1) login. > Then 'startx'. I assume we should handle an empty /etc/X11/default-display-manager more gracefully. bigon, thoughts? Related to that, I think we should start removing the /etc/X11/default-display-manager from the systemd .service files. All display managers should implement the /etc/systemd/display-manager.service interface nowadays. We still need /etc/X11/default-display-manager for the sysv init script though.
