Description Marc Jackson 2013-07-29 11:17:09 UTC

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:22.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/22.0

After a clean install, the snapper utility is not functional. comparing /etc/snapper with my openSUSE 12.3 system I see a missing file in the configuration I copied this over, did a zypper up for updates and now snapper does not fail with missing configuration error, but doesn't do anything useful either. I have left system on all night, rebooted several times same outcome.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Fresh install selecting use btrfs layout.
2. reboot
3. run snapper from yast and it fails with missing configuration.
Actual Results:  
I compared configuration under /etc/snapper with my opensuse 12.3 system and copied over the missing file. 

Expected Results:  
Snapper did not give the missing configuration error message, but it does not show any useful information and snapper is not usable.

YaST didn't create the config for snapper, see bug #829281.

Normally you would have to run "snapper create-config /" to resolve
the problem but after your manual file copying there might be an error.
