GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT= in /etc/default/grub and rebooting the computer

That's most probably due to profile resetting.

In order to install KDE in Trisquel, one needs only to install the triskel

Couldn't you boot from a Trisquel LiveCD (same architecture) and chroot into

$ sudo mount
The second command is clean, not autoremove.
I would upgrade those packages and hope that solves the issue :-)
If it doesn't, I would try using Linux-libre 3.5 by installing

Or delete the file, or move it (e.g. multiarch.backup).
Multiarch has to do with installing 32-bit applications in a 64-bit
