sudo apt install libfreerdp2-2

Can you try purging the broken package ? : sudo dpkg -P libfreerdp2-2

lemmyreader,

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.

Partial upgrade to xubuntu 24.04 from 23.10, FS only accessible in recovery mode as root + wifi may be down. Help appreciated

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...

lemmyreader,

wifi app was configured not to start automatically

With nmtui (or nmcli) you can activate WiFi connection.

I can cd to media and to my home directory, but this last directory appears as empty.

Does mount /home improve that ?

How about booting from Linux live medium (For example Ubuntu installation iso on pen drive, and choose Try without installing) and from there see if you can get to your home files.

lemmyreader,

Unfortunately the feddit.de server has been broken for quite a while and we have trouble contacting the admin.

Oh, that explains it.

An alternative is to use pipx : pipx.pypa.io/stable

Overview: What is pipx?

pipx is a tool to help you install and run end-user applications written in Python. It’s roughly similar to macOS’s brew, JavaScript’s npx, and Linux’s apt.

It’s closely related to pip. In fact, it uses pip, but is focused on installing and managing Python packages that can be run from the command line directly as applications. How is it Different from pip?

pip is a general-purpose package installer for both libraries and apps with no environment isolation. pipx is made specifically for application installation, as it adds isolation yet still makes the apps available in your shell: pipx creates an isolated environment for each application and its associated packages.

pipx does not ship with pip, but installing it is often an important part of bootstrapping your system.

lemmyreader,

Does the command pipx install tkcalendar give errors ?

lemmyreader,

Hmm. I see that the software is about five years old. The last comment in this thread is maybe useful ? github.com/j4321/tkcalendar/issues/79

In this case I would download the deb from here (Click on Mantic, and scroll down to files and find your architecture you use and download the file : packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=libfreerdp2 and install it with dpkg -i If that installs successfully then continue your upgrade attempt.

lemmyreader,

Nice. For folks who wouldn’t need a lot of storage space I guess this could make a nice rather low budget Libreboot computer.

lemmyreader,

What phone should I buy for max 150.- (around 180$) second hand?

e.foundation by means of Murena sells phones with /e/os installed. Cheapest currently at discount about $200 but is out of stock last time I looked. e.foundation did sell refurbished phones (and does ?) but the price were always over $200 I think.

lemmyreader,

Pixel5 appears EOL with GrapheneOS though the 5a may be fine ?

lemmyreader,

20240521002024052100

Pixel 4a (5G) and Pixel 5 are end-of-life and shouldn’t be used anymore due to lack of security patches for firmware and drivers. We provide extended support for harm reduction.

Arch PGP not be verified

Hello guys! I have done a fresh install of Arch Linux with KDE. The first thing to do was downloading Librewolf but there is an issue. I used an installation way that is without an AUR helper. And the package named librewolf-bin. System updated, git command executed, changed directory to librewolf-bin, executed the makepkg -si....

lemmyreader,

You can go to keyserver.ubuntu.com in your browser and then use the Search key option and then download the public key (pub entry). Then use gpg --import 0000000000111111112222222222222.asc where 0000000000111111112222222222222.asc is the name of the downloaded public key file.

lemmyreader,

You’re welcome.

lemmyreader,

If you’re in the EU you can vote and help to make some of them go away with the coming elections which are pretty soon.

lemmyreader,

lol i thought you EU boys’ government was so amazing and cared so much about privacy! lol!

You will not hear me bragging or applauding about EU except that the GDPR did bring about some positive changes. And if you ask me I wonder what is happening with all the millions of money from the fines that EU gave to Big Tech companies. EU basically claims that they have no money to keep a Fediverse server running. Puzzling.

For backup and restore :

To move from CentOS to sometimes very similar look at Rocky Linux or Alma Linux. There may even be seamless migration methods for it.

lemmyreader,

Oh, I didn’t know that. I just downloaded iso and iso.sig then used gpg commands. The thing I’m worried about is, maliciousy chance of the iso. I probably used German or French mirror to download the iso. Then, failed the verification.

Suggesting the following for the archlinux-2024.05.01-x86_64.iso :

  • Put your downloaded iso file and the sig file in ~/Downloads/ if you haven’t done so.
  • From your Arch Linux installation install the Sequoia sq tool : sudo pacman -S sequoia-sq
  • Continue with the following commands : cd ~/Downloads
  • sq network wkd fetch pierre@archlinux.org -o release-key.pgp
  • sq verify --signer-file release-key.pgp --detached archlinux-2024.05.01-x86_64.iso.sig archlinux-2024.05.01-x86_64.iso

This should unlike with the GnuPG method give no warnings or errors.

lemmyreader,

Like the other commenter said you are probably fine. If you still worry, backup your /home and go for a fresh install and restore /home.

lemmyreader,
