Hello everyone,
I am fairly new to opensuse and I do have a framework 13 laptop.
I had to roll back to a previous snapshot last week but it was a wild guess which one to use, since in the boot screen I can’t read the full description of each snapshot.
Is there any workaround for this? Can I make the font smaller or shorten the description so I can see at least time and date from each snapshot?
Huh? Why a new thread for the same topic?
And, @mrmazda already provided a solution for that.
Sorry Inwas thinking the title was misleading and I got a solution for the resolution but still wasn’t able to read the full descriptions. That’s why I thought a new topic would fit better 
No worries, it happens.
What info would you expect to see there? The most important parts ( date + kernel version ) are visible.
I got confused because I was not able to find a timestamp in the grub menu. The long description (when pressing “e” on a entry) doesn’t show a timestamp (or am I too stupid to find it?):
Now I know the first number is the snapshot ID, then the kernel version.
After that should follow the date but 20260202 is not really the 20.02.2026?
Another interesting discovery I just made: when I boot into bios and booting into grub from the bios menu, I can see the full text of the snapshot:
So I guess if i need to move back to an older snapshot and do not know which one to choose, I will use the BIOS trick to get a better overview.
No need, look at the bottom entry: 20260202 → 2026-02-02 , kernel is 6.18.9-1.0.2 (everything after the dash are build numbers.).
Oh now I see. It’s the kernel build date, not the snapshot date 
No, it is the snapshot date. the btrfs snapshot date that is.
That can’t be. I did install my system on 13.02.26. I do not have a snapshot from 02.02.2026.
Could this be a peculiarity to slowroll?

I get the confusion. The latest SR snapshot on 13.02.26 ( BTW, German?) was the 20260202. So, when you installed. It is not the date of tthe btrfs snapshot. The way I wrote it calls for that confusion, sorry.
Nothing to apologize for, you are just trying to help.
20260202 is the latest slowroll-snapshot I think.
Everday something new to learn.
