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 <TAB> 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 <TAB> to navigate out of nmtui and test your connection.
