Snapshot aren't booting

The snapshots aren’t working , when I try to boot into a snapshot then it shows me something like this :


And it stays like that forever
I don’t have any clue but if it will be like that , then I won’t be able to update my system next time :slightly_frowning_face:

Sounds like you have the same problem as in this thread:

Okay I have got the solution ,
when I encounter these messages then after a minute I shout try to move to some thing like TTY 2 or 3 or 4 with CTRL + ALT + F2/3/4

then after login I executed Hyprland by this command :

Hyprland --i-am-really-stupid

and I was in Hyprland
then I have to just choose snapshot to which I want to rollback from GUI

For those who are not on Hyprland and don’t know how start their respective DEs
after logging in to TTY run this command

 sudo snapper-tools list

they will see outputs like this :

now suppose that I want to restore a snapshot in front of which the serial number is written like 359 where there is only one thing done which is pacman -Su

so I need to run

sudo snapper-tools restore 359 

And it will restore it
And then just reboot and done !!!

Ahh… Actually I saw that thread and read it but the chat was too unorganized in it, that it became hard for a person like me with poor English skills to understand that :smiling_face_with_tear:
