I broke my system. I tried the following. I am stuck. I need help.
Started on Trisquel Mini. Uninstalled metapackage trisquel-mini.
sudo apt-get remove trisquel-mini
No NetworkManager, lost WiFi. Solution: reinstall NetworkManager without
WiFi.
Booted live Trisquel. Decrypted Trisquel Mini root volume.
Chrooted to Trisquel Mini root volume.
sudo chroot /media/trisquel/ee2acd05-1b50-470f-add3-cebc0298a5ee/ bash
Installed NetworkManager in chroot.
root@trisquel:/# sudo apt-get install --yes network-manager
