rEFInd doesn't show BTRFS snapshots. (lemmy.today)
 

What I want:

To boot into a BTRFS snapshots from rEFind boot manager. But rEFInd doesn't show the snapshots.

Additional Info:

  1. So, apparently, to restore the BTRFS snapshot of a root subvolume, I shouldn't do it with the root partition being actively used.
  1. So, I need to boot into the desired snapshot from the boot manager itself.
  1. GRUB has grub-btrfs, which lets you boot into snapshot from OS selection screen itself.
  1. rEFInd has refind-btrfs, which should do the same as grub-btrfs. But it didn't in my case. I am not seeing any way to boot into a snapshot from rEFInd.
  1. I use BTRFS Assistant with snapper to manage snapshots.
  1. I am not seeing any way to restore the snapshot from live environment too.
  1. I am using CachyOS (Arch) with Plasma DE.
  1. I suspect the reason is my unusual /efi /boot partition layout. (attached below)
  1. I did my partition this way because, my initial EFI partition had less storage (as seen on image), so , I created another boot partition and mounted my pre-existing EFI partition to /boot/efi. I did this by referring a Youtube video (I know, I should've known better)
  1. I also encrypted my BTRFS / partition
  1. If you need any other info, please ask.

I know this is a general community, but this is the 7th community that I'm asking this ๐Ÿฅฒ

Some people suggested Limine bootloader, but I like rEFInd for its versatile theme support.

That's the problem I'm asking for solution in the first place.

It doesn't show anything at all. เฒฅโ€ฟเฒฅ

Thank you.

It's just that I like rEFInd's versatile themes.

Limine does seem to have themes but it doesn't feel as robust as rEFInd (in the theme aspect at least).

I do have access in my installed system.

But, CachyOS live doesn't have btrfs-assistant in it.

Thank You. If just moved it to a new Plasma System, will it just work ?

I am gonna reinstall my system.

But I want to keep the Time played stat of the game.

I found all other data of lutris like banners, runners, runtimes but not this.

Any Idea where can I find Time played data, if it's even saved in file ?

Also does any you know where the KDE Plasma clipboard data is saved ? I've been using that as mini watch later list ๐Ÿ˜…

Why I shouldn't use Discover on Arch (Plasma) ? (lemmy.today)

I installed CachyOS with Plasma DE and found it has no discover in it. When I searched on their sub lots of people say that one shouldn't use Discover with any Arch distro as it will break the system. Can anybody clarify why?

Also if I am not supposed to use Discover, can anybody suggest an actual GUI application store? Unlike Octopi (which I consider just as a TUI with check boxes and columns)

Edit: I only use Discover for find and install new apps.

For updating, I just use paru.

[SOLVED] Can't boot into Luks2 + Refind (lemmy.today)

I installed CachyOS with BTRFS, LUKS2 , REFIND.

After successful installation I'm not seeing any prompt for password nor the linux boot entry on refind.

Note: I didn't do any lvm or raid.

What should I do?

Solved

I just forgot to create a boot partition ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ
