Help - Timeshift in Live USB Mode as device UUID not found

General system Pacman

Clone the repo somewhere:

git clone https://github.com/teejee2008/timeshift.git

Change directory:

cd timeshift/src/Utility

Edit the file Devices.vala, find line 431, change MAJ:MIN to MAJ[_:]MIN
Repeat for the next line (2 line below???).
Should now look like:

	try{
				if (lsblk_is_ancient){
					rex = new Regex("""NAME="(.*)" KNAME="(.*)" LABEL="(.*)" UUID="(.*)" TYPE="(.*)" FSTYPE="(.*)" SIZE="(.*)" MOUNTPOINT="(.*)" MODEL="(.*)" RO="([0-9]+)" RM="([0-9]+)" MAJ[_:]MIN="([0-9:]+)"""");
				}
				else{
					rex = new Regex("""NAME="(.*)" KNAME="(.*)" LABEL="(.*)" UUID="(.*)" TYPE="(.*)" FSTYPE="(.*)" SIZE="(.*)" MOUNTPOINT="(.*)" MODEL="(.*)" RO="([0-9]+)" HOTPLUG="([0-9]+)" MAJ[_:]MIN="([0-9:]+)" PARTLABEL="(.*)" PARTUUID="(.*)" PKNAME="(.*)" VENDOR="(.*)" SERIAL="(.*)" REV="(.*)"""");
				}

# cd back to the timeshift clone directory:
make
sudo make install
