Stuck on Live USB Mode (Device not found: UUID) #822

Open ZN0N15 opened 3 years ago

ZN0N15 commented 3 years ago

Describe the bug My Timeshift always launches on Live USB Mode (Restore Only) and I get the error; Device not found: UUID(shows the uuid of the partition). The drive/partition it's specifying seems to be mounted properly, and I have it configured to automatically mount at boot with all the necessary permissions from my fstab file, yet it doesn't work.

This partition/device that it says is "not found" in particular, is the partition mounted on my /home folder.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Launch the Program

Expected behavior Not launch on Live USB Mode and be able to use and backup my system.

I had the same issue on Fedora 35 - seems to be a bug. This fixed it for me (it is a Fedora solution, but if you google there should be an arch based one):
