i have been having issues with playback form Netflix. every time I'm getting an error saying "This title is not available to watch instantly" i have tried on my windows side and it is working fine,

I have tried edge on Linux too. but same errors pops up, i have tired resetting all browsers as well.

Thank you!

First of all try to Update your locale.gen maybe take a look at here

filo · 11 December 2021 08:03

Careful, you booted off a snapshot and you should complete the restore from the timeshift GUI, then reboot, before proceeding in a clean way.
But it seems to be a very old snapshot, so probably in this state since then and I’m not really sure on the best way to proceed here…

xelstrife · 11 December 2021 14:04

could you tell me how to restore? i thought it as a bug, as i have pressed restore from the GUI but every time i boot a pop up shows up and asks me to restore.

This message pops up Everytime

TilliDie · 11 December 2021 14:19

open timeshift
Chose the timeshift entry and hit the restore button
then reboot

xelstrife · 11 December 2021 14:31

but same pop up comes asking me to restore the snapshot. i just restored and same happened.

filo · 11 December 2021 15:23

Which snapshot have you selected in timeshift to restore?
Could you please also show your /etc/fstab and ' sudo btrfs subvolume list'?
As said, I'm unsure what's going on here, because that snapshot seems very old and I don't know how to recover if not from the GUI. Anyway the info above maybe could clarify something.

TilliDie · 11 December 2021 17:53

I could be wrong but it looks like you have been running in a snapshot for some time?
Its like you are in a loop
can you do a

sudo timeshift --list

and output of

sudo update-grub

from terminal
Also i suggest that you backup all your data

jonathon · 12 December 2021 02:02

Considering the difference in snapshot date and the kernel version, it looks like this snapshot is four months old and has been mounted read-write and updated ever since then (i.e. the snapshot has been used as the main installation). Restoring at this point could be… interesting.

xelstrife · 12 December 2021 02:36

here are the outputs of the above request,

it should be fine if anything happens to this partition as i have not kept any important data on it. and if things get too spicy it would be able to just do a clean install. right now im just trying to learn this i guess, since its an interesting issue.

udo timeshift --list

This was the reason why we had to move to snapper.

TilliDie · 12 December 2021 08:05

You are going to need to chroot in using a live usb.
remove all snapshots and update grub.
then reboot and update
There is no guarantee that this will work as system is abit messed up now.
Or download latest iso and reinstall

xelstrife · 12 December 2021 08:42

i will try the solutions first @TilliDie

if nothing works a clean install it is ,

thank you all for the help
