add xhost -si:localuser:root

Even though Running_GUI_applications_as_root is mentioned in the warning at the bottom ofTimeshift#Timeshift_GUI_not_launching_on_Wayland, maybe we should also add this line here:

"To remove this access after the application has been closed: $ xhost -si:localuser:root"

Not everyone will go and dig through that linked page Pigeon (talk) 10:40, 25 May 2025 (UTC)

improve configuration

The configuration steps did not work for me when trying to add timeshift functionality after an installation that was not performed into /@ as root partition. I'd like to expand the section with my solution, but if somebody could review my solution for errors/improvements that would be great.

I think it would be beneficial to have separate sections for creating the correct layout during installation and for converting an existing install to it, I agree that the way it is right now is confusing and incomplete. Rlct0 (talk) 21:05, 11 August 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for the edit, i totally forgot about this. I'll do better next time. Fiwlt (talk) 19:04, 16 August 2025 (UTC)
