Continue from rollbacked system

Last week after an update my system did not boot any more (After Reached target Initrd File Systems, the boot was stuck on the start job for the root partition…)

I had to boot my system using an older TW version 20240801 to get the system running again. I then did sudo snapper rollback to make the booted system workable. Now there are these snapshots:

When I now try to upgrade the system again, to check if the bug is fixed, I get this error for any package to install:

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

How can I continue using and upgrading the system?

According to mount, the only read-only mounts are /run/credentials/systemd-*, /var/lib/snapd/snaps/* and /run/credentials/*

Did you reboot after that?

Well, yes, that was it. Thanks for that hint :slight_smile:
After the following system update, the boot with the updated system worked again, too.
