Rebooted to *NO GREETER* from 22.04 -> 24.04 Beta with solution

[Layman806]

Here's what happened when I tried to update, using the command I found in the README: pop-upgrade release upgrade -f

1. Upgraded from the 22.04 LTS to the 24.04 LTS Beta. Reboot.
2. No greeter, CLI login prompt. Logged in.
3. Check cosmic-greeter from systemctl - no entry.
4. Start gdm3 through systemctl - works.
5. Stop gdm3.
6. Try installing cosmic-greeter - apt tells to try apt --fix-broken install
7. sudo apt --fix-broken install - shows dpkg error when installing pipewire-pulse
8. sudo apt remove pipewire-pulse does not work.

SOLUTION:
I don't know what exactly let the apt --fix-broken install work, but here are all the commands I ran. First 2 were to remove info on pipewire-pulse.

sudo mv /var/lib/dpkg/info/pipewire-pulse* /tmp/
sudo dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq pipewire-pulse
sudo apt-get install pulseaudio
sudo apt --fix-broken install pipewire-pulse
sudo apt --fix-broken install pop-pipewire
sudo apt --fix-broken install

Since fixing the broken install worked, I rebooted and found that cosmic greeter worked!
But it was a little pain to do this right before a Zoom meeting. Thankfully, I joined by phone and didn't have to use my laptop for it.

I'm wondering why you have gdm3. Also, pulseaudio should not be installed on 22.04 or 24.04. It was replaced with pipewire and wireplumber with the 24.04 release.
