Thanks dalto.
The funny thing is if you see my previous post I already chrooted in and ran update-grub which fixed a pointer error. Should I do it again?
manually edit the grub config
This is my /etc/default/grub:
# GRUB boot loader configuration
GRUB_DEFAULT=0
GRUB_TIMEOUT=5
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="Garuda"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="rd.udev.log_priority=3 vt.global_cursor_default=0 loglevel=3 ibt=off" # Modified by garuda-migrations: ibt=off
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""
# Preload both GPT and MBR modules so that they are not missed
GRUB_PRELOAD_MODULES="part_gpt part_msdos"
# Uncomment to enable booting from LUKS encrypted devices
#GRUB_ENABLE_CRYPTODISK=y
# Set to 'countdown' or 'hidden' to change timeout behavior,
# press ESC key to display menu.
GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=menu
# Uncomment to use basic console
GRUB_TERMINAL_INPUT=console

# Uncomment to allow the kernel use the same resolution used by grub
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep
# Uncomment if you want GRUB to pass to the Linux kernel the old parameter
# format "root=/dev/xxx" instead of "root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/xxx"

# Uncomment to get a beep at GRUB start
GRUB_INIT_TUNE="480 440 1"
# Uncomment to make GRUB remember the last selection. This requires
# setting 'GRUB_DEFAULT=saved' above.
#GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT=true
# Uncomment to disable submenus in boot menu
#GRUB_DISABLE_SUBMENU=y
# Probing for other operating systems is disabled for security reasons. Read
# documentation on GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER, if still want to enable this
# functionality install os-prober and uncomment to detect and include other
# operating systems.
GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=false
What should I change?
One of the downsides of timeshift
I installedsnapper-support to change my timeshift snapshots to snapper. Or have I misunderstood how it works?
Also, what happens i I keep working off the snapshot?
I was trying to get a gui session back (had some issues with the nvidia drivers, dkms autoinstall failed). @BluishHumility said I should restore the snapshot before continuing.
