[Solved] BTRFS: How can I return back to a snapshot I've created?

I've been messing around with pacman since it threw some errors, but doing that I apparently killed something I shouldn't have. I've rebooted from live usb only to find that arch-chroot no longer worked.

I've changed my /boot/loader/entries/arch.conf to boot from one of my older snapshots, and that worked, since I no longer get a kernel panic at boot.

The issue now is, that my filesystem is read only, and I don't know how to switch it back. I can't get x to start either, because

"xauth: error in locking authoriy file /home/lightning/.Xauthority"

I suppose this is because of the filesystem being read only. What can I do now to get my system back to work?

edit: Why does btrfs treat my default subvolume as read-write, while it treats my backup as read-only?

edit 2: I fixed it. In case anybody ever has the same problem, check out this thread on reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comme … ing_btrfs/
