Thanks man, I’ll drink a coffee to see if to works later hehe Nothing like a coffee to clear things out Man, something happened before I tried to mount it… let me drink that coffee, brb ```auto $ sudo mount -o subvol=@snapshots /dev/sda2 /.snapshots mount: (hint) your fstab has been modified, but systemd still uses the old version; use 'systemctl daemon-reload' to reload. ``` ---

I think I found the problem… Not sure… If you launch the btrfs-assistant before you configure the btrfs-assistant.conf in /etc, the problem happens… I removed everything, then tried again, but now before launching the btrfs-assistant, I configured the file in /etc, and now everything is working again… Thanks Dalto and sorry for taking your time… ---

Hi Dalto, 1.3 seems to be working normally. I did get this warning when I did a version check. Warning: Ignoring XDG\_SESSION\_TYPE=wayland on Gnome. Use QT\_QPA\_PLATFORM=wayland to run on Wayland anyway. Qt: Session management error: None of the authentication protocols specified are supported Btrfs Assistant 1.3 ---

Did it fail to run or did you just get that warning? What command did you specifically? ---

The warning is likely caused by the way your environment is configured. The other message is probably caused by me. I can look at that tomorrow. ---

It isn’t a different version. It is part of the install you already have. That being said, @anon49550872 already tried it above. ---

I also just did an install of Gnome on v-box and i get this too. I have btrfs-assistant, snapper and snap-pac installed. ```auto [ricklinux@rick-virtualbox ~]$ btrfs-assistant --version Warning: Ignoring XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland on Gnome.
