general comment - if the confusing dialouge is not a limitation of grub - *it should be changed*
if you did want more help - can you describe the problem, assumed cause and what you mean by a usable desktop?
Well, I didn't go into it at first because it's probably related to a recent zypper up I did with (unknowingly) a full root partition, which caused the upgrade to partially fail. But anyway, the problem is that when I boot from a snapshot I get as far as the grey screen with three green dots in the middle, and it doesn't go any further. I can use alt-f1 to switch to a console though. Is this working as intended, or should SDDM start?
Kind regards, Huw
your on tumbleweed with btrfs and your root is full? have you disabled quotas? what does "sudo btrfs filesystem usage -h /" say? can you also give output of "sudo snapper list"
Yeah, the root was completely filled - at least according to df, which I have since learned may not be reliable on a btrfs partition, although when I last upgraded I had a whole slew of errors relating to the device being full. I already deleted some snapshots manually now, and have upgraded at least once since. However, the output of your command is: Overall: Device size: 29.30GiB Device allocated: 26.40GiB Device unallocated: 2.90GiB Device missing: 0.00B Used: 23.45GiB Free (estimated): 5.27GiB (min: 3.82GiB) Data ratio: 1.00 Metadata ratio: 2.00 Global reserve: 61.83MiB (used: 0.00B) Data,single: Size:24.34GiB, Used:21.96GiB /dev/sda4 24.34GiB Metadata,DUP: Size:1.00GiB, Used:759.55MiB /dev/sda4 2.00GiB System,DUP: Size:32.00MiB, Used:16.00KiB /dev/sda4 64.00MiB Unallocated: /dev/sda4 2.90GiB I have not knowingly disabled quotas - I wouldn't know how.
