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
