Bug report: Garuda-settings-manager kernel tool error

Issues & Assistance Newbies
1

Hi team,

I just tried to install a new kernel using the garuda-settings-manager kernel tool and received an error. Looks like the tool is somewhat broken at present.

Installing kernels manually works as expected.

Full output below. It's worth noting that I was only installing linux, linux-zen and linux-lts were both already installed. I'm not sure why it's trying to reinstall those.

The following packages will be installed:
linux
linux-zen
linux-lts
linux-headers

This system is pretty stock without a lot of customisation. inxi output below.

Cannot replicate :slightly_frowning_face:

A couple of people received this error while trying to install drivers, but it seems like they both ended up using a workaround rather than finding a solution: Can't install NVIDIA drivers (Timeshift error), Freeze during installation using propietary drivers - #6 by Skyxel

The error itself is caused by a Timeshift module, not within Garuda Settings.

So first of all I wold try creating a snapshot manually and see if it gives the same error.

Sorry it's not much help, but maybe a small step in the right direction.
