As I've gotten used to this deficiency ...
I forgot to say that the problem with the cursor moving or jumping continues in this version too, I'm refering to what was discussed here:

I am trying the following:
as the last line in /etc/sudoers:
%sudo ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/gparted
but it still asks me for the password

That's because the user (in use) making the change is still required to provide a password. After the change is implemented, no password will be required.HausiMX wrote: Thu Jun 29, 2023 6:32 am I am trying the following:

In Linux, newer isn't always better. The best solution is the one that works.

Thanks. For comparison, what errors do you get on MX Linux with encrypted btrfs.andy wrote: Thu Jun 29, 2023 5:57 am Timeshift snapshots via BTRFS filesystems on LUKS encrypted root partition are working.

But as I remember, just timeshift not allowing to select BTRFS option, maybe even not showing its partition.
Please guide me what logs to send to you (beside the ordinary ones).

Hello @fehlix,
First I was reporting a bug, that installer let me go without /boot partition assigned.
But after properly assingnig /boot and installed to / on BTRFS on LUKS, Timeshift does not allow to use BRTFS and throws errors.
In this (last) message of that conversation is a summary.
