Timeshift restore error - Jinith Jayan - 03-22-2020

I tried to restore my os by timeshift snapshot that I've created earlier. After restore it showed the boot image and all but its not showing the xfce desktop. After boot image it is opening command line. Please help with the regard.

Your image tell me that the filesystem is someway got read only! In case the hard disk is fine try checking it with live media program named disks under the wheels you may use "Check Filesystem..." It may not always found issue. then try to fix filesystem. after fixing it you may try checking it again. Then reboot. Filesystem can become read-only (no write/edit) because of preventing errors getting any worse.

Open gnome-disks:

Select disk where linux lite is installed:

Select partition where linux lite is installed if there is many partitions eg. "/home" ,"/" and "/tmp" fix all of them, by default there is only one and it has ext4 filesystem:
