Hello.
Yesterday I’ve experienced very ugly crash (simlar to marcsitkin where he described
here) . My situatiom was almost the same - but it started while I was browsing regular web pages. Kdialog was crashed and after computer restart the fun part began
I wasn’t able to do anything to bring back my system up. Nothing adviced here
was helpful. So I gave up, formated a partition installed again garuda, and finally I was able to restore from my “gold” snapshot which was stored on separate partition. Luicky everything back to normal. Which I was super happy about , because I have put a lot of effort to adjust my system to my needs and spend countless hours googling and solving problems…
However I have noticed that not everything is fine. Currently I’m not able to create a new snapshot. Looks like cron problem.
Bellow is my snapshot log which was generated after my attempt of preparing :
