  • If Filezilla installs ubuntu-standard it would make sense. Anyways I removed it (autoremove command not found) and the GUI still pops up but now "why gnome" responds with: i grub-efi-amd64-signed Depends grub-efi-amd64 | grub-pc p grub-pc Depends grub-pc-bin (= 2.04-1ubuntu26.13) p grub-pc-bin Suggests desktop-base (>= 4.0.6) p desktop-base Suggests gnome | kde-standard | xfce4 | wmaker Commented Mar 4, 2022 at 10:40
  • @JennyPenny sorry, that should have been sudo apt autoremove, my bad. And no, filezilla does not install ubuntu-standard, that really looks like you installed it yourself. Try apt autoremove to see if that helps now. But it now looks like the grub packages require X which is odd. Commented Mar 4, 2022 at 10:44
  • First things first thank you so much for your effort! apt autoremove did work but a reboot still opened the gui. Would formatting be the better alternative at this point? This seems like a witch hunt now :< Commented Mar 4, 2022 at 10:47
  • @JennyPenny no, I don't think formatting should be needed. Just remove more and more GUI packages as you find them. Run sudo apt remove gnome && sudo apt autoremove for example. Also wait for someone more knowledgeable than I to answer because I haven't used Debian-based systems in many years so I don't remember the details about this sort of thing.
