Description ashtophet-2 2021-06-06 21:46:33 UTC

Timeshift enters "LiveUSB mode" on graphical interface or gives the error " E: ts: Failed to get partition list."

It is already solved upstream[1] and it's related to new util-linux syntax.

Attached is the patch I am using locally.

Cheers

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Run timeshift --check
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
E: ts: Failed to get partition list.
