same error even after reboot. but i noticed something strange. lets say i got 7 snapshots, i deleted 2 most recent ones where i did that commands snapper something that you mentioned could clash with something, so when i deleted those two i restored from the snapshot before, after that i booted into os and make another manual snapshot, and after we did this command to finally see snapshot options in boot grub, i see all those snapshots with those two i deleted and no manual one i created afterwards, like that list in boot grub is frozen and it always show the same. in os it shows how its supposed to beā¦
It is probably because of the snapshot you restored.
Try deleting /var/lib/pacman/db.lck then run that command again
[enio@enioentity ~]$ /var/lib/pacman/db.lck
bash: /var/lib/pacman/db.lck: Permission denied
[enio@enioentity ~]$ sudo /var/lib/pacman/db.lck
[sudo] password for enio:

[enio@enioentity ~]$
sudo rm /var/lib/pacman/db.lck
[enio@enioentity ~]$ sudo rm /var/lib/pacman/db.lck
[enio@enioentity ~]$
it didnt show anything
That means it worked. Now run the pacman command I gave you above.
i apologize, my mobile network crapped out for a bit, im at work so i use phone to connect to internet(fireman nightshift)

[enio@enioentity ~]$
did it again, it seems that it worked now(probably my connection mess it up the first time)
I wasnāt telling you to do anything with it. I was just pointing out what i use. 
Sorry if i gave the wrong impression.
hahaha, all is fine, i was just trying stuff, it is not the end of the world if i bork something 
I do it all the time.
Next time you install a package it will hopefully work now and add the snapshot.
so, what do i do after that command inotify tools? i managed to install it?
maybe something like this? sudo update-grub
my subvolumes look like this
instead of probably like this
is that relevant?
In theory it should be working now.
Try installing a package and see if the snapshots from that are added to your boot menu.
No, the boot grub menu is always the same, it even lists some shapshots i deleted already, looks like its not connected with the ones in the osā¦ Maybe i do that boot grub grub command againā¦ Will try something when i get homeā¦
In that case share the new output of systemctl status grub-btrfsd

i inspected the boot grub, and now it is the same as in the os, i checked creating manual snapshot and it is reflected properly in boot grub. It is finally resolved and working as intended. big thanks to all, especially you daltoā¦ this forum is awesomeā¦
