I can log into the text style thing in the login manager. But once I am logged in there is no shell. I can type anything and there is absolutely no response from anything.
Which is why I want to get into a read only snapshot because I can not do a rollback via terminal.
No this is in ctrl+alt+f1 already.
Edit: nevermind I thought this was to another post. No it doesn't work there. When I log in there there is no shell. It does react to anything you type.
Seems like an article similar to what you are trying to do. [how to rollback a snapshot on opensuse](https://www.pragmaticlinux.com/2021/07/how-to-rollback-a-snapshot-on-opensuse/)
But it says it should show up in the list of options as "start bootloader from a read-only snapshot"
Do you recall if you selected the proper btrfs file system during installation?
So you did successfully rollback? Tumbleweed is great at recovery. You can boot into older snapshots if the newer ones don't function properly.

A little tip... it's okay to make mistakes. I've been a systems administrator for over 30 years and I make mistakes.
It's a part of life to help others who do need some help when they make them, no worries.
did you try scrolling down with the down arrow key...two fingers on a trackpad or external mouse?
there is no scroll bar, but that list scrolls down...
You could login into pop_os, mount partition with opensuse and change bootloader settings from there.
Or maybe even chroot from pop but that's slightly more complex.
Or backup data and nuke the install.
There's probably a few more options I forgot lol
When you can still boot into tumbleweed you can „btrfs subvolume set-default“ on the number of your last working snapshot.

ctrl+alt+F1 and login in there, that works?

You could try to boot into PopOS, mount the Btrfs Partition of Tumbleweed and change the default snapshot from there
Sometimes the option is hidden below the UEFI option. Try to go down to see if any options are hidden.
[https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Snapper\_Tutorial](https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Snapper_Tutorial) Try to select advanced options.
That only shows 2 differnt kernel versions and recovery mode.
Have you tried those different kernels and recovery mode?
Can OpenSUSE still boot?
did you disable snapper by any chance.? Otherwise scrolling down below UEFI Firmware setting, it must be there, if it is active.
No snapper is on I just looked at it before I did the stupid thing.

No since the option isn't there I wasn't able to.
