I was attempting to to use the live version of Linux Mint Cinnamon 22.3 boot repair to diagnose the problem I've run into with my boot process not recognizing an installed operating system unless I manually intervene during the boot process and choose Ubantu on my internal ssd drive that began occurring after I used Timestamp to revert to the version that had been working properly before I had installed some new programs. The error message states that glade2script-python3 isn't responding as tbe cause of it, so I checked the script installation and then went to script homepage to look for more information the bug I am having. According to the script homepage, glade2script-python3 was replaced by gui4script on 2026-03-19, and I am wondering if it's replacement could be causing this bug through an environmental variable path error or through just the name of the new script not being updated completely in parts of the older boot repair script? If possible, is there a bash program script that I can use to check the variable path and the renaming of the script in the boot repair program?

@Dave913 welcome to linux.org.
I'll ask a couple of questions, there may be more, and others may ask them.
1. On
Are you also booting with Ubuntu, and if so which version?
2. On
I'll take it that that is Timeshift.
Was that performed from within a working Linux distro (Ubuntu or Linux Mint) or from a Live USB stick used?
3. On
Did they include Glade, or was that installed on another occasion?
I know next to nothing on Glade or Python, but your answers to my above will assist others to help.
I would be first looking to get your Mint functional again, before worrying about Glade.
To that effect, if you run Timeshift again, there is a point where you get to the Destination Target, where I would choose to check Rebuild initramfs
If you choose that, let us know how it goes.

Welcome to the Forum.
What a mess...it seems to me and I'm no expert...what ever you did...you tried to fix it with Timeshift and that didn't work because maybe Timeshift wasn't configured correctly.
At this point...I would re-install Mint Cinnamon 22.3..then ask here how to setup Timeshift before you install any software.
I don't use Timeshift..I create an image of my system with Foxclone and Rescuezilla but that's something you could learn later.
Hope this helps.

How does 'glade' have any bearing on the use of your pc ? Why did you install it....for what purpose? Possibly included in boot repair. Which would lead me to say/think that the version of boot repair is horribly out of date ?
Glade has not been actively developed or updated/maintained etc for 4 years
Glade is usually associated with programming languages, C, C++ perl, python etc
The whole story would be good value. It may save a lot of guessing.
