What I want:

To boot into a BTRFS snapshots from rEFind boot manager. But rEFInd doesn't show the snapshots.

Additional Info:

1. So, apparently, to restore the BTRFS snapshot of a root subvolume, I shouldn't do it with the root partition being actively used.

2. So, I need to boot into the desired snapshot from the boot manager itself.

3. GRUB has grub-btrfs, which lets you boot into snapshot from OS selection screen itself.

4. rEFInd has refind-btrfs, which should do the same as grub-btrfs. But it didn't in my case. I am not seeing any way to boot into a snapshot from rEFInd.

5. I use BTRFS Assistant with snapper to manage snapshots.

6. I am not seeing any way to restore the snapshot from live environment too.

7. I am using CachyOS (Arch) with Plasma DE.

8. I suspect the reason is my unusual /efi /boot partition layout. (attached below)

9. I did my partition this way because, my initial EFI partition had less storage (as seen on image), so , I created another boot partition and mounted my pre-existing EFI partition to /boot/efi. I did this by referring a Youtube video (I know, I should've known better)

10. I also encrypted my BTRFS / partition

11. If you need any other info, please ask.

I know this is a general community, but this is the 7th community that I'm asking this 🥲

Some people suggested Limine bootloader, but I like rEFInd for its versatile theme support.

EDIT: Can anybody ask around reddit? They keep banning me.

Second Heart should have 300 - 200 seconds ( 5 - 3.3 minutes ) timeout. But for me it is 35 MINUTES, does anybody know why?

Additional Info:

One of the images contains cooldown for Self-Ice. That one is actually seconds and work as it intended.

I'm using CachyOS (Arch) with BTRFS. And tried to restore snap of root subvolume and it didn't work ( see previous post ).

If I remember correctly, i successfully restored root subvolume before. Take it with a grain of salt.

Some people on my previos posts said that I shouldn't have tried restore root subvol while system is actively running through the subvol.

Now my question is,

How to restore a snap of root subvolume ?

Edit: I know how to restore a snapshot. Just need help with root subvol snapshot.

I use BTRFS Assistant with snapper. And rEFInd doens't have boot to snapshot option. (I installed and it didn't work )

I am gonna reinstall my system.

But I want to keep the Time played stat of the game.

I found all other data of lutris like banners, runners, runtimes but not this.

Any Idea where can I find Time played data, if it's even saved in file ?

Also does any you know where the KDE Plasma clipboard data is saved ? I've been using that as mini watch later list 😅

Context: I updated my CachyOS (Arch) BTRFS system. Some new things caused few problems especially brave browser(missing tabs), some icons missing.

So I wanted to go back to previous snapshot.

What I did: I first restored my home subvol which I saved before update. I worked.

Then I tried to restored my root partition. This is where I got the problem.

I got this error.

I would really appreciate URGENT help

If you need any more details I can provide.

EDIT

1. I used BTRFS Assistant to restore the root partition. And I did it while the OS is running.

( I previously did that and got no issues )

2. I pressed crtl+d and got 👇🏽

3. I typed my password and went into maintenance. Typed journalctl -xb and got 2667 lines 😵‍💫. While scrolling mindlessly, this looked like something 👇🏽

I updated arch. After the update mangohud is not showing any GPU stats except GPU model.

I was working perfectly fine before.

I am using CachyOS (Arch btw) and when I tried to update using paru, it says some packages are in conflict, and asking to remove those. What should I do ?

I didn't find the best help from searching by myself ?

I haven't updated my Arch (Plasma) for some time.

When I updated it yesterday, suddenly all the exe icons started to show up ( I'm dualbooting with Win ), which is not the case before.

As far I looked up, I can't find anything on internet.

I don't know if it's whether WINE or Dolphin or some other package.

So, what's changed ?
