before the issue, wifi app was configured not to start automatically because I sometimes change the mac after logging in. I usually enable it afterwards with iftop and then systemctl start NetworkManager.service && sudo nm-applet
Back to the issue: I can log in to recovery mode, filesystem is read and write, unsure that ‘network’ enables the network.
I can also root it.
If I execute sudo apt update
output reads: failed to fetch http…. Could not connect to 127.0.0.1:8118, connection refused
. I don’t know how to fix this.
8118 should be tor.
If I execute sudo apt install -f
or dpkg –configure -a
I get the regular list of packages I should delete with autoremove and the broken package I believe caused this issue during upgrade:
libfreerdp2-2
and a dpkg error:
/usr/sbin/update-info-dir: 11 /etc/environment: debug: not found dpkg: error processing package install-info (-configure) errors were encountered while processing install-info sub process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
lsb_release -a
shows distro is 23.10
secondary questions: is there any way to access my data as root? I can cd to media and to my home directory, but this last directory appears as empty.
How do I change the font’s color as root? Very dark blue, cannot read anything
thanks
Sooo, I guess a couple of things.
What error do you get when you try to boot it not in rescue mode?
Was your /home directory a separate partition?
I don’t think networking neccesarily starts in rescue mode, so you getting a response that 127.0.0.1:8118 is unreachable probably makes sense (your tor proxy will rely on the network service afterall)
