Hi Ariadne,

thanks for your quick response!

Your hint concerning basic and edge repos did it! :-)

I've commented out the stable repos (3.12) in the repositories file.
The (big) update (apk upgrade -a) then passed through without errors, but =
lightdm-login has frozen up again after reboot
Then restoring the alpine image (VM) from backup, and repeating these step=
s so far.

But before reboot, this time I immediately logged off and in to check GUI-=
login and no freeze at this time.
Then reboot. Login (xfce/lightdm)=C2=A0 was ok now. :-)
Don't know, if this had an effect anyhow

Is it possible to leave the 3.12/stable repos deactivated, and only update=
/upgrade from the edge repos?

Thanks a lot again and regards. / Hilmar.

The solution is to choose your preference of either the v3.12 branch or ed=

and then do apk upgrade --available after disabling the other repositories=

You cannot mix branches and expect it to work long term.
