Can not do any updates due to Read only filesystem

English Install/Boot/Login

Hi Forum,
For some strange reason I can not do any updates anymore. I did not mess with any essential files (as far as I know) so I cannot explain what caused this issue.

Wifi connection has been unstable for a while , but it is not due to any errors in the network, since all other devices work and I sit about 50 cm. from the router.

When trying to install patches and updates with Myrlyn I get this message:

 - error: can't create transaction lock on /usr/lib/sysimage/rpm/.rpm.lock (Read-only file system)

Please help if You have any ideas to solve the problem.

When I log in to Opensuse Leap 16.0 with GRUB, there is limited wifi-connection (no internet). tells Network Manager
When I log in using an older snapshot, there is full wifi with internet connection, but still a read-only filesystem…

When in the working read only snapshot run
sudo snapper rollback and reboot

Thank You so much. This just worked and now I know how to activate a snapshot from a working system if a similar situation should appear.
Wifi has also been stable since :smile:

You can mark my post as “Solution”. Not for me so much, but for others.
