Hi all,
I have had some issues with my laptop 5 days ago. I don’t remember doing anything peculiar before that, but it had been running for a few days (not continually).
I noticed it was taking time to go to sleep, so I tried to perform a reboot; then, the main grub entry I usually selected to boot into Garuda Linux was not there anymore. I booted into one of the snapshots I had and tried to restore, but it seemed to have no effects whatsoever. I tried a bunch of different things (it went worse at some point, no theme for grub ? No shutdown/reboot except with --force --force) but ended up repairing the grub menu, effectively restoring it to its “normal” state.
My laptop runs fine now, except that timeshift does not work anymore.
Let me clarify :
$ sudo timeshift --list --snapshot-device /dev/sda6
Mounted '/dev/sda6' at '/run/timeshift/155651/backup'
Device : /dev/sda6
UUID : 66e9d8cf-32cd-4a0b-8442-2e159dd095fa
Path : /run/timeshift/155651/backup
Mode : BTRFS
Status : Selected snapshot device is not a system disk
Select BTRFS system disk with root subvolume (@)
No snapshots found
Booting from GRUB into a snapshot works
I had never tried Snapper Tools before, but there is nothing to create/restore, the create button does nothing, and clicking settings opens a pop-up saying something like “failed to load settings”.
I have checked the state of my btrfs from a live-booted Garuda:
[root@garuda-dr460nized garuda]# sudo btrfs check /dev/sda6

I have not tried to --repair because it is not advised to be run without proper guidance.
Here is some more disk info:
$ mount | grep btrfs

After all that, I am wondering if :
- I am currently running some sort of snapshot ?
- I could
--repairmy way out of this ?
If not, - Should I start clean and reinstall a fresh Garuda ?
Thanks for reading !
