Hello,
Yesterday after updating my system using the "upd" fish alias I had to restore a snapshot because booting the OS would end up in a black screen after the garuda loading screen. Tried ctrl+alt+f2 and unplugging the hdmi but they didn't work, well whatever. So I booted into a old snapshot and in the timeshift application I restored the booted snapshot, but now whenever I boot into the system normally I get this notification. System also feels sluggish but that might be related the to the system update, I'll wait a couple weeks for a new updates and if those don't work I'll do a reinstall. Just wondering if there is something I should do about this notification.
Hi and welcome to the community
PS: Bear with me with my little knowledge of Linux
- Click on the snapshot that safe to restore on timeshift.
- Click on restore and it will make [LIVE] before restoring snapshot
- Wait a while and it will be make the boot default snapshot.
I hope this will help you. Because this is based on my experience when the SDDM problem came up just recently. Good luck
Hey, thank you for replying.
I think I've done all of those steps correctly already but I'll make sure by listing it again.
- I booted to a working snapshot from grub
- I restored the working snapshot from timeshift
- I rebooted and I got a working system again
But still I'm getting the notification that I've booted into a snapshot "original posts picture" I don't think it's harmful in anyway but still kind of odd.
sudo update-grub
Hello, good Freitag and thanks for the reply.
I did a another system upgrade and grub-update but no change.
I'm pretty sure the grub was updated when I restored the snapshot because without it I would still be booting into the broken one.
update-grub before system update/upgrade.
Just an idea, I never got this message.
Well, I have nothing to upgrade but I did grub-update and rebooted.
grub.cfg and grub-btrfs.cfg both updated, I checked with
ls /boot/grub/
.rw-r--r-- 33k root 24 huhti 00:50 ξ grub-btrfs.cfg
.rw------- 14k root 24 huhti 00:50 ξ grub.cfg
I'm still getting the notification, kernel is also up to date.
ls /boot/

sudo grub-install
sudo update-grub
Still the same, no difference.
Are there two entries in grub for garuda linux try second entry
Thank you
I've been blind this whole time, there was a second entry in my grub for /dev/sdc2/ where my install is located. How can I fix this and only have this install show up in grub?
sudo grub-install
sudo update-grub
Thank you very much
Okey, this fixes that the first selection in grub menu is right but the /dev/sdc2 still stays there. I think this is a "none problem" but just letting everyone else who might see this in the future know.
I have the same problem and I don`t know how to check if there is two entries as am a newbie please help
when I run this " sudo grub-install" I get this error
Installing for i386-pc platform.
grub-install: error: install device isn't specified.
From Configuring the bootloader - Gentoo Wiki
grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot
Might be worth trying if you are running on 64 bit processor.
Thanks for your support @ETO
after I run this "grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot"
I get this error "Installing for x86_64-efi platform.
grub-install: error: /boot doesn't look like an EFI partition."
It seems like you have a bios install
Run lsblk and try to find what disk your /boot partition is located
lsblk
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sda 8:0 0 232,9G 0 disk
sdb 8:16 0 111,8G 0 disk
sdc 8:32 0 465,8G 0 disk
ββsdc1 8:33 0 260M 0 part /boot/efi
ββsdc2 8:34 0 456,7G 0 part /run/timeshift/backup
ββsdc3 8:35 0 8,8G 0 part [SWAP]
It usually is on the /dev/sda but in my case I would run
grub-install /dev/sdc
But for you it probably is
grub-install /dev/sda
Must be
sudo grub-install /dev/sdc1
I also just noticed /dev/sdc2 shouldn't probably be mounted in there.
