From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Does this error exit status 127 (libfreerdp2-2) happen because my system (xubuntu 23.10) is not writable? (lemmy.ml)

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?

No. Likely just a broken package.

I highly recommend doing a system snapshot before an upgrade to prevent stuff like that.

Because of that I highly recommend atomic Fedora where this is fully automated. Or at least OpenSUSE tumbleweed. Also Ubuntu will be able to do this.
