Error Snapshots cannot be created in Live CD mode #728
Comments
I'm running Timeshift on an RPi Model 4-8GB running Raspberry Pi OS Buster and I'm seeing basically the same issue only mine says Live USB Mode. Have you figured out how to get the Create button enabled? |
Nope. I ended up using BackInTime. |
same issue, timeshift cli arch linux |
I am having the same issue with my Raspberry Pi 4b 1Gb. However, I am also using berryboot to dual boot two versions of raspbian, so that may be the issue in this case. |
I think it just does not support linux arm64. Hope it can be fixed soon. |
Okay, Ive fixed it, kind of. i just installed it from the AUR and cleared all my cache instead of compiling from source (rip if your not using arch :(.) |

Describe the bug
When I use the GUI or run the CLI commands, I always receive the following error:
E: Snapshots cannot be created in Live CD mode
Of course my system is not a live one. It's a properly installed ubuntu 20.04 on an odroid arm64 machine.
The distro is a one officially supported https://wiki.odroid.com/odroid-c2/os_images/ubuntu/v4.1 installed a couple of days ago, hence quite fresh.
The GUI allows me to properly create the
/etc/timeshift.json
but the create button is always disabled.The external drive is an ext4 drive (raid1) with sufficient disk space (configured with rsync).
I've manually created the
/timeshift
directory.I've followed the README to properly install/setup.
Thank you in advance.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Just run a simple
sudo timeshift --check
osudo timeshift --create
to always get the error message.Expected behavior
It should allows me to take snapshot as per app goal.
Screenshots
I attach a log of a create command.
