broken upgrade to xubuntu 24.04 from xubuntu 23.10, can access initramfs as root in recovery mode:

there is a broken package I believe is the root of this whole issue: libfreerdp2-2

if I execute

sudo apt install libfreerdp2-2

I get:

you might want to run apt --fix broken install to correct these, libfreerdp2-2 has unmet dependencies, try apt --fix broken install with no packages or suggest a solution.

After trying apt --fix broken install I get error processing package install-info (–configure), installed install-info package post installation script

Does this happen because the system is only readable?

I also executed

mount -o remount,rw /

mount --all

what do I need to do to check if these commands have worked?

    I purged the broken package with sudo dpkg -P libfreerdp2-2 and immediately afterwards I executed sudo apt get upgrade.

    Cool.

    how do I enable wlan as root from initramfs?

    I’d run nmtui and then use the key to navigate between the items and go for “Activate” to enable your WiFi connection. It will show no pop up or something when it successfully activates the connection. I think it will just show a * sign next to the connection item. When that is done use to navigate out of nmtui and test your connection.
