Am I "stuck" in a Snapshot ?!

[linuxislife]

I use Timeshift and did restore a previous snapshot from choosing it in the Grub menu and then restoring it from the Timleshift program menu.

My question is did I did it right, as now if I try to update using pacman -Syu i get /var/lib/pacman/db.lck error message, I get Timeshift launching itself automatically on startup, and if I run

$ findmnt -nt btrfs

Did I “restore” my system right ?

Cheers !

Did you reboot your system after having restored a previous snapshot?
You would need to choose the “regular” boot option from Grub menu then to boot into the restored system.

@pebcak

need to choose the “regular” boot

I did indeed yes, I rebooted after restoring and chose the “regular” option in grub

If you use grub-btrfs, boot off a read-write snapshot and then do some activity that triggers grub-mkconfig to run, this will happen.

I would manually edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg to have the right path. Reboot and then run grub-mkconfig again.
