Hi
I am unable to boot from any snapshot. After selecting the option to boot from a read-only snapshot, and then selecting a snapshot, I see a message that says something like "if OK, run snapper rollback and reboot" but I can't do anything from there. Pressing enter refreshes the screen and I see the same message. I can enter the GRUB menu and such, I just can't actually boot.
Obviously this is quite alarming as I'd always thought I can rely on Snapper and is one of the reasons I'm happy to use Tumbleweed. Any suggestions?
Kind regards, Huw
the snapshot boot is confusing. if i remember you select one of the snapshots, but the next option is something like "boot opensuse" i.e. no mention of snapshot anymore. If you keep trying to select the snapshot (which appears the natural choice) you go round in circles.
Hmm....so does that mean that after seeing this screen: https://imgur.com/a/K7Fww ...I press escape to return to the original boot menu and just select the default boot option as if I wasn't using a snapshot? If so, how can I verify, after booting, that I'm in the snapshot? Kind regards, Huw
