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. ![IMG_20240309_123740](https://forum.endeavouros.com/uploads/default/original/3X/9/3/93d8b079b2983b41a5d50f6481d454783e2701fb.jpeg) Any help or what to look into is appreciated. ---

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. ---
