I am running on a live plasma iso because I cannot boot into plasma after a timeshift restore. The error message I get is here. Sorry about the poor quality photo.
I have run blkid and I cannot see this UUID and it is not part of the original fstab from before the restore. I do not have any new hardware so I don’t know where this UUID comes from.
I have an nvme ssd with efi boot, /, /home and two external usb drives as well as the pen drive with the live iso.
I use this pc to run my small business so I am desperate to get up and running again.
so chroot into your installation:sudo manjaro-chroot -amhwd-kernel -licat /etc/fstabblkidcat /boot/grub/grub.cfg
Try mounting it (root partition) manually and fix /etc/fstab, if you say UUIDs are wrong.
mount /dev/sdXY new_root
exit
Maybe you need to mount everything else under new_root/ before exit, I forgot.
Thank you for your prompt reply. The outputs are:

So if this is /, fix fstab entry.
I changed the fstab for / to b4d52814-453e-4da1-b8c9-da42b57d9aa3 on the nvme, but on a reboot it still looks for UUID 1168b8e8-ac11-4756-b66f-d7f02f7d0bfe and won’t boot. Root dir with the fstab is at the 48.8 nvme (see this screenshot . I am guessing the / under devices is the live usb. The fstab on that dir is
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
#
# <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
/dev/mapper/root-image / auto defaults 0 0
post again output from:cat /etc/fstabblkid

so it looks like the fstab on the installation is the same as the blkid… so run these commands still in chroot:update-grubmkinitcpio -Pexitsystemctl reboot

Thanks everyone so much.
I am up and running although I just got a warning that my root dir is full. Can anyone suggest a solution or should I open a new topic?
I would also be grateful if brahma or anyone has the time to say what went wrong with the timeshift restore that resulted in the boot problem and a different UUID for the boot partition.
Simple:
You created a snapshot.
The UUID of the root partition has changed. (new installation or modifying the partition)
Now you try to restore it, but the UUID has changed.
Therefore grub search for the old UUID and fstab points aswell to the old UUID.
A snapshot is not a backup. Timeshift is more like the “Windows System Recovery” than a real backup solution.
For personal data, it would be better using vorta with borg as backend or maybe deja-dup. Both are easy to use.
