Timeshift not starting, gives errors

[ptthstr]

Hi,

I have a server on Ubuntu 20.04. I installed Timeshift 20.03, but it is not starting. Whatever I do - try to create a snapshot, or list, I get the following:

[Warning] Deleted invalid lock
**
ERROR:arraylist.c:1182:gee_array_list_real_get: assertion failed: (index < _size)
Bail out! ERROR:arraylist.c:1182:gee_array_list_real_get: assertion failed: (index < _size)
Aborted

I have tried to reinstall, doesn't change anything. I was originally using the default repository on my server. I made sure to grab the version from the teejee2008 repo, doesn't change anything. Here's what the log looks like:

[13:55:41] Main: check_dependencies()
[13:55:41] [Warning] Deleted invalid lock
[13:55:41] Main: add_default_exclude_entries()
[13:55:41] Main: add_default_exclude_entries(): exit
[13:55:41] update_partitions() 

Any idea how to fix this? I searched and found other people with the same issue, but no fix. If it helps, my I am running software RAID5 and my GRUB version is 2.04-1ubuntu26.9, don't know if it can be related.

Thanks!

i have exactly the same problem while i done my new installation its wiard...

I had never had problems but now if I get that and I don't know what to do, but I have read that it has to do with connected raid units, and I just installed openmediavault with a raid 5 ... I think I will discount the raid and see what It happens, they say that if it works ... but it is not the idea at all! something is wrong and I don't know how to fix it either.

hopefully someone can help us

i just try i appears this

Reading up on this issue, it looks like Timeshift requires an EFI system using the GRUB2 bootloader.

Debian Sid unstable here. Timeshift don't run after give sudo password. In command line after timeshift-launcher gives:

[Warning] Deleted invalid lock ** ERROR:arraylist.c:910:gee_array_list_real_remove_at: assertion failed: (index >= 0) Bail out! ERROR:arraylist.c:910:gee_array_list_real_remove_at: assertion failed: (index >= 0) /usr/bin/timeshift-launcher: line 30: 141570 Aborted ${app_command}

The problem disappeared when remove the raid 5 array which I have (unplug the 3 disks from power). When I add them to the pc, the timeshift gives the same error. (It is an mdadm array with btrfs fs on it -I format ext4 on mdadm and the same happens). Some help?

Edit: Aslo I have make a partition scheme like Ubuntu on my main disk (@ and @home subvolumes) so timeshift works fine (error only when i connect raid array to my pc...
