Timeshift schedule not working - Fedora 36 #902

Describe the bug I setup a BTRFS mode snapshot with Timeshift on Fedora 36 system. I created my "/" and "/home" as "@" and "@home" to be working with timeshift. I set the schedule with 2 snapshots weekly and 4 snapshots daily. I did 'systemctl enable --now crond.service' (cronie.service is not a recognized service in Fedora 36) The only way to get my first snapshot was to do from terminal : sudo timeshift --check. That created a snapshot automatically that I could see on the GUI but since then, nothing else.

I looked at the logs but I do not see any issues. ( see screenshots ). timeshift-logs

Expected behavior I was expecting to get some auto snapshots filling the GUI but I don't see any.

System:

I thought I had the same problem. Then I read somewhere that Timeshift does not create scheduled backups when the GUI is opened. Sure enough, after having it closed for some hours the backups were there. If this does not work for you I’m afraid I can’t help.
