I use the Manjaro package which is the same as the AUR package. I maintain both. Timeshift is still working fine for me and I still can’t figure out why it’s not for others.
Yeah, me neither. Random thought: only difference I see is I’m using different disk/partition on arch where timeshift works, but on manjaro I’m using /home for snapshots.
Then you are simply not up to date. The problem has long been recognized. Does this really have to be explained and linked again and again? This is so exhausting…
Some incompatibility with the new version of rsync. Like many others, I have to keep mine one version behind.
My snapshots are going to a separate drive.
You mean you’re using Timeshift to backup /home/ or you’ve pointed Timeshift to create backups there (don’t do that)? I use Timeshift as directed (system backups only) and Back In Time to backup /home/ and another partition.
Surely you jest. I use the Manjaro unstable branch and I’m the one that syncs Arch stable to Manjaro unstable. I have updates installed before anyone else does.
❯ pacman -Qi timeshift rsync | grep Version
Version : 21.09.1-3
Version : 3.2.4-1
Also…
EDIT: I’ve unmarked the solution as downgrading packages is not supported. It may be a temporary workaround, but I do not recommend it.
I did a backup with timeshift after the update and before i started messing with my system because i had audio/video problems because i had removed Pipewire a while ago as it was not working right for me back then, now Gnome 4.2 seems to be defaulting to Pipewire so had to remove pulse and re-install Pipewire, audio/video playback is now working again on Gnome 4.2, after that i did another timeshift backup and it’s working fine for me, so guess I’m lucky this time.
