Hi guys, this should be rather simple but i'm losing my mind around it!
new snapshots are not created with the info.json file into them
this means the snapshot are invisibile to timeshift
they are correctly created but unusable because the missing of this file
i tried to sudo pacman -Rsn timeshift
and then delete all files found with
find / -iname *timeshift*
reinstalled timeshift and the problem persists!
what can i do?
