Critical error when copying.

[LibertyGM]

Describe the bug
There are bugs in the operation of the program. First, it stopped showing the remaining time, just three question marks. Now the GUI crashes when copying and deleting, but the process itself on the system continues.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. I open the program.
2. I start copying rsync.
3. After a while, the program window closes abruptly.

It also says "???" instead of the remaining time.

Expected behavior
I expected the copying to be successful.

The GUI is also not detecting snapshots anymore either.

Looks like this might be caused by the recent update to glib2 2.74.0-1:
https://forum.manjaro.org/t/timeshift-gtk-dumps-core/122478

Apparently downgrading glib2 restores proper functionality. Also, timeshift cli seems unaffected.

Yes, cli Timeshift fortunately still works, but the remaining time there is also not shown. I wish they would fix the GUI too. I don't want to roll something back because other components might stop working.

Do you know if Timeshift is still being developed?

Can you tell me how I can put that fork on Arch Linux? I must be doing something wrong. And as I understand it's not very actively developed there either.

It already is via the timeshift AUR package. The Manjaro community package uses it as well.

So this error should be written to the Linux Mint fork. So this error should be written to the Linux Mint fork. Strange, I thought AUR installs from here.

The CLI gets stuck at 0.0%. I mean the timeshift still creates a snapshot but the progress is stuck at 0.0% on CLI

I suspect it's a problem with glib2 2.74.0. There are other reports of random crashes, and one fix has already been merged. But Timeshift seems to be still affected (the crashes seem random).

This is fixed

Thanks! Works great for me with glib2 2.74.

This is fixed
The time to the end of the operation and the progress still does not show.
