Stuck in snapshot after frozen upd

Issues & Assistance Cinnamon
1

Ran upd this morning, laptop froze, nothing responded, Ctrlc, alt-f4, mouse, keyboard frozen

Held power off 10 sec to reboot.

Grub - only option was to load snapshot, Tried many with different kernels.

All black screen

CtrlAltf1 Which I think is tty1
stops at same place

CtrlAltf2 tty2
can log in.

Not sure how to restore snapshot from terminal

Found related thread

sudo btrfs subvolume list

output very long last line is

 ID 2692 gen 1988206 top level 263 path @/.snapshots/2034/snapshots

none of the lines have a " restore_backup_@_ " in it

Posting from different laptop, can’t share output of commands

findmnt /

/ /dev/nvme0n1p1[/@/.snapshots/2034/snapshot] btrfs rw.notime.compress=zstd:3,ssd,discard=async.space_cache=v2.subvolid=1692.subvol=/@/.snapshots/2034/snapshot

I assume the solution may be simliar to below but not sure what I should change for line 2 and 4

sudo mkdir -p /mnt/btrfs
sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/btrfs -o subvolid=5
sudo rmdir /mnt/btrfs/@/.snapshots
sudo mv /mnt/btrfs/restore_backup_@_202148186/.snapshots /mnt/btrfs/@/.snapshots
sudo umount /mnt/btrfs

Any help would be very appreciated. Id rather not reinstall.

Ty
I am sorry not sure what that means

when I booted to tty i could not do update because db.lck. couldn’t delete it because read only file system

Im watching a video about chroot right now.

is this something I run from the live cd? or do I reboot into the tty screen?

in live iso, garuda welcome clicked chroot.

In terminal

grub-probe: error: cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/sdb2.  Check your device.map.

I read the post not sure what I need to do. Sorry I am so new, hope you can keep helping me.

I am in the middle of backing up my home directory after that I will reboot and try the steps again. It will be a while TY

Ty for your help. I didn’t realize i could restore snapper files with the live-iso.

So grateful for the wonderful tools and helpful team at Garuda.

Ty @SGS

Solution:

Booted into live-is (usb)
Garuda-Welcome window (should open default)
Clicked "Chroot" (not sure if needed)
Clicked toolbar menu button typed "btrfs" [Enter] (Btrfs Assistant
Clicked snapper top tab
Clicked Browse/Restore
Clicked Last known good snapshot
Clicked Restore (top right)
Gave name (optional)
Told to reboot, rebooted 
Start up took much longer than normal
Cinnamon desktop loaded, ran upd from terminal
System updated with issue
rebooted to confirm issue was resolved

Btw, to prevent such situations in future, just make sure that you have enough RAM and Disk space while updating the system, and CPU is not very busy.

Sometimes, the system might freeze while updating due to any of above 3 things, and hence corrupt the files. Anyways, you always has snapper to save you :smiley:

Thanks. I can’t recall if I was doing anything else other then sharing torrents of linux iso and doing some transcoding in jelly fin. Pretty standard stuff for me. My laptop has never frozen up before so it was very strange. I do know I have some pacnew files I need to resolve. Hope it doesn’t happen again. Thanks aga to SGS for the help.
