You can look at something like https://www.deviceinfo.me/ to see what just a browser can identify.

At the Keys Pressed (Live) it can see my arrow up and arrow down key presses 😱

Is this because I am using a free tier VPN? so it’s not functioning properly etc…

• Does Proton not have a page to check your IP address and check for DNS leaks (Mullvad does : https://mullvad.net/en -> Check for leaks) ?
• Did you look up your IP address by other means ?
• On the desktop with Linux you can check the content of /etc/resolv.conf and ip a (Your local IP) and ip r (Gateway address).

Else google fixed my location based on my previous location history? I used my google applications without VPN for many years, I am just learning & following privacy tips recently.

Are the sessions from your last login ? With some applications (Dunno about Google) you can delete older sessions from the overview.

Maybe inspired by Microsoft's Linux :

CBL-Mariner is an internal Linux distribution for Microsoft's cloud infrastructure

Some other contributors suggest I use a live usb, not installing the OS but using the live usb with working wlan to complete the installation, but this seems to be more complicated than working directly from initramfs.

My suggestion was to use live usb to find your /home files. Indeed using live usb and then using chroot to complete the upgrade from 23.10 to 24.04 is maybe more difficult (As /dev and /proc and /sys need to get mounted with the chroot). If I were you I would first find your /home files and make a backup and after that proceed with upgrading.

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>

<TAB>

sudo apt install libfreerdp2-2

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

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.

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 ?

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

Oh, that explains it.

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

Does the command pipx install tkcalendar give errors ?

An alternative is to use pipx : https://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.

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 : https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=libfreerdp2 and install it with dpkg -i If that installs successfully then continue your upgrade attempt.

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

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.

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.

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.

For backup and restore :

• Clonezilla
• Rescuezilla

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

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.
