Unable to mount on partition after update

[ryan]

I updated to plasma 6 and other package then reboot after that. However, after reboot I am unable to mount the encrypted drive.

For context, I use the LUK encryption. I use grub as a bootloader. I also have timeshift but I didn’t enable to work on the grub menu.

Is there a way to use timeshift in the emergency sh in the image below or from a live usb?

I am stuck at this screen.

Any help or what to look into is appreciated.

# - How to RESTORE a snapshot (previous system state)

A - If you ever need to reset your system to a stored state, just

1. Launch Timeshift from the menu (or desktop shortcut)
2. Select a snapshot and hit restore
3. Reboot

That’s all. Takes mere seconds and doesn’t get any easier.
BTW, you could also restore a snapshot from the cli!

B - In case you can’t boot into your desktop environment try to

1. Boot directly into a snapshot from the GRUB (boot) menu
2. see A (above) …

---

C - In case you need to restore a snapshot from a live system (e. g. EndeavourOS Install medium)

1. Boot into the live environment
2. Install Timeshift into the live environment; run

sudo pacman --noconfirm -Syy cronie

yay --noconfirm -S timeshift

3. see A (above) …

---

D - In case you need to chroot from a live system (e. g. EndeavourOS Install medium)

1. Boot into the live environment
2. Decrypt and mount your luks partition (e. g. /dev/sda2)

sudo cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda2 crypt &&

sudo mount -o compress=zstd,subvol=@ /dev/mapper/crypt /mnt

3. Mount your EFI boot folder (e. g. /dev/sda1)

sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot/efi

4. chroot into your system

sudo arch-chroot /mnt

5. Do some root stuff …

Thanks for the suggestion. I will try it and report back.

Just an update.

The guide you mention really helped a lot. Especially the point you mention.

Timeshift is now working.

Thank you very much.

Although, the update still cause the problem. At least I have a way to do trail and error now to fix it now.
