Hi all,
I’m a brand new EndeavourOS user. Just made the switch from another distro and so far I am very impressed!
I’ve installed Timeshift on BTRFS and made snapshots available in the Grub boot manager using the article here.
In addition to the steps described in this article, I had to perform 2 small additional steps in order for the grub bootmenu to regenerate automatically upon the creation of a new snapshot. (grub-btrfsd service) Just wanted to share this in case other folks encounter the same behavior. And maybe for the Team to consider including in the article.
Before enabling the grub-btrfsd service (last step in the article, perform these 2 additional steps:
1. Install inotify-tools:
sudo pacman -S inotify-tools
2. Change the default config of grub-btrfsd
// I improved the below instruction per the suggestion of @pebcak , thank you!
Edit the systemd unit file using sudo systemctl edit --full grub-btrfsd
# Change the executable line to the following, otherwise TimeShift snaphots are not recognized
ExecStart=/usr/bin/grub-btrfsd --syslog --timeshift-auto
