Timeshift won't restore system

Post by johnnya23 »

I recently had a reboot issue when my system lost power. I have that resolved by running fsck:

While the system is back up it is still not "normal". Tried to run a restore with Timeshift (using GUI). On the first attempt I get "error running rsync" on subsequent attempts I get "failed to mount device". Tried various "snapshots" with the same result.
thx

I just recovered from "Emergency Mode", using a live Ventoy USB (any live USB should work) to run the TimeShift USB. It worked well in my particular situation.
