"Boot device not selected" when trying to restore a snapshot on a system with full disk encryption #280
Description
Steps to reproduce:
- Install Manjaro Linux 17.1.11 in UEFI mode using default settings except enabling full disk encryption. This will create three partitions: root, swap and EFI. My
fdisk v-loutput:

- Open Timeshift and configure it to use rsync snapshots saved to the system disk (i.e. nvme0n1p2):
- Create a snapshot either on-demand or on schedule.
- Now try to restore the snapshot using the default settings suggested by Timeshift:
This results in the "Boot device not selected" error:
