Welcome to the Manjaro Linux Reddit


Manjaro is a GNU/Linux distribution based on Arch Linux. It provides all the benefits of a rolling release distro and includes a user-friendly installer, tested updates that try very hard to not break your system and a community of friendly users for support.

Official releases include Xfce, KDE & Gnome as well as a minimal net-edition. Community releases include Enlightenment (E17), OpenBox, Mate, FluxBox, Cinnamon, LXDE, LXQt, & Deepin. There are builds for ARM devices like Raspberry Pi, Odroid etc. as well as a selection of realtime kernels.

How is 'Manjaro' Pronounced? As in Mount Kilimanjaro, which was the inspiration for the name. From the: Manjaro FAQ

I can't use any other hard drive or partition

I'm new to Linux, using Manjaro. I'm trying to use programs or files from another partition other than the one where the system is installed. Like, I downloaded Yuzu and tried to open a game from the ones on the other partition, but it wasn't showing up; it only let me choose from the hard drive where the system is installed. Also, when I download something from the browser or even from the Manjaro store, it has to go onto the partition where Linux is installed. And obviously, I can't do all of that with the 30 GB space I allocated for the system. Is this normal, or is there a solution? By the way, can I use AMD software for the graphics card to record videos or monitor the card's temperature?

Timeshift Snapshot Location of what?

Hello, I don't know this is right place to ask? Can I ask backup related questions here? I want to use timeshift to backup root partition once a month. I am using nvme0n1p2 as root "/" and nvme0n1p3 as "/home" partition. Can someone please explain to me what is Snapshot Location? Is that the location of a partition to backup? or a partition where backup will be saved? Is possible to backup my root partition and save it on different ssd like nvme1n1p1 "Data" b'coz it's why I bought it. A bit slower than CT20000 it is nvme gen 4. Thanks you

Unable to mount a USB thumb drive that us formatted NTFS

I am unable to mount this thumb drive in Manjaro even thou I don't have a problem with it on same hardware with Windows 10, Linux Mint & Ubuntu. I am able to mount other USB thumb drives that are formatted with other FSs like exFAT or ext4. I get this error message.

System Monitor reporting more RAM than I have installed

So I have 128 gigs of system memory but Resource Monitor says I have 135?

If I include the VRAM of my 1660 Super, that number jumps to 134 gigs of total RAM, but even that's a gig short of what it's reporting. What's happening here?

I need advice from Zephyrus users

A week ago, I installed Manjaro Gnome Minimal Edition on my Zephyrus G15.

Everything runs amazingly well but I would love to install asusctl so that I can change the annoying keyboard blinking when the laptop enters suspend mode.

Can I just install everything shown in the picture or, are there any additional steps to perform? Thanks for helping! :)

What version of gcc was in Manjaro 20.2?

Distrowatch doesn't show the version, and has 12.1 and 9.3 either side. The old installation I have has gcc version 11 (hadn't been touched for a few years). Since it is rolling distro, I wonder if it had earlier version of gcc originally. The reason I ask is that a certain package worked when compiled on this PC with Manjaro, and on other distros, it only worked with old gcc versions (e.g. Leap 15 which is way behind at gcc 7.5). It didn't work in stuff like Fedora, Ubuntu or Mint with newer gcc. I am puzzled why it just works in Manjaro.

v4l2linux-dkms stable release

*v4l2loopback not v4l2linux, my bad

Hi,

Is there a time frame for when does v4l2loopback-dkms package is to be released on stable?

I wanted to upgrade the kernel to 6.8 (I'm still in 6.7) while it's not outright failed, it does fail to install the v4l2loopback module, and I need it for a pseudo webcam (using my android -> IP Webcam -> OBS -> WebCam), I tried switching to testing, while the upgrade is successful, other than the first time shutting down/restarting stuck on the black log screen with a bunch of text and I have to force it using the power button, it does, however, have some flaw, it seems that KDE Plasma lost all my applications list and association, so kinda unusable to do anything other than looking at my wallpaper, system settings, dolphin and some basic os uses, even Discover can't be found. So, I don't think testing is for me, at least not yet, but I need the v4l2loopback module stable to upgrade the kernel and mine is already unsupported.

To be more specific, I need v4l2loopback version 0.13 which is in testing and the new kernel version 6.8 requires it.

Thank you

I just wanted a note

Everybody said kde apps are bloated. I never wanted to be true. But, I used Manjaro with KDE 'coz I love KDE. And Today I wanted a note app for me. So I tried yay note as usual . yay showed me I think the best '1 extra/knotes'. So, I choose 1 to install. After that, the Hellhound has arrived.

Error building AOSP kernel?

I, seem to be facing issues with building the aosp-4.19 kernel on Manjaro

I have been able to build it on a Arch and Ubuntu install before this, so I'm unsure what caused this.

The errors are, symlinks not being followed nor created and the #include in every file not being properly followed.

The errors from the compiler are as follows

../arch/arm64/boot/dts/vendor/19821/kona.dtsi:1:10: fatal error: 'dt-bindings/clock/qcom,aop-qmp.h' file not found

1 | #include <dt-bindings/clock/qcom,aop-qmp.h>

Shall I give it a shot

Recently I have been dual booting ubuntu 24.04 on my laptop, and honestly no issues what so ever. I have been distro hopping a fair bit finding myself resorting going back to windows. Hence the dual booting. I don't know why but I have the urge of installing manjaro on my old gaming pc (i7-6700, RX6750XT 12GB, 16GB RAM) I hardly use it being that i mostly game on my PS5 and want to really explore more than ubuntu at the moment. Is that a stupid approach???

IntelliJ in Manjaro

Since I installed Manjaro (it's on nvme drive), I've been having problems with IntelliJ. Specifically this issue: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IJPL-2189/File-system-synchronization-popup-blocks-UI

I've also found a message saying that the project might be on a network drive (which is obviously not).

Could this be related to Manjaro being installed on an nvme?

Audio device issues?

Whenever I don't have sound playing for a few seconds my audio will stop working and videos that have audio won't even play unless I mute them, The janky solution for this I've figured out is just switching between the two audio devices my headphones make (digital and analog output). It seems like just switching which one I'm using is what fixes it, both outputs work equally well.

Another problem that is probably related is that Minecraft (and no other games) can't play sound at the same time as any other apps, it seems to be using "Family 17h (models 00h-0fh) HD Audio Controller)" and when changing audio devices in minecraft it doesn't show my headphones

Any ideas on what might be causing this would be fantastic

Foxit Reader for Manjaro/Arch is no longer available

I'm trying to install Foxit Reader from AUR packages, but it just simply doesn't download the package.

I also can't download the installer from foxit's official website. It seems there are only two options available now for Mac and Windows and that's it.

I found an .xzm file for Porteus OS, but couldn't find how to convert it to tar.

I'm interested in Foxit Reader because of its ease to create universal bookmarks. Universal in a sense that the bookmarks will be available across all other pdf apps.

I either need to find the install/tar package or find an alternative where I can visually create bookmarks like I did with Foxit Reader.

Manjaro Budgie and Mate

Hi all, I apologize if this has already been asked. I did a quick search and didn't see it. Has Manjaro stopped offering Budgie and MATE? I was reformatting my laptop (I use it to test out different distros) and I was going to mess around with Budgie or MATE but I noticed neither of them are listed on the downloads page anymore.

Thanks,

Can't use native 4K (4096x2304) resolution on Apple iMac

Just installed Manjaro on my 2017 iMac. Using open-source drivers even though I selected proprietary. I guess Amdgpu is not much use any more.

Anyway, I can't get the full native resolution of 4096 x 2304 pixels. Only 3840 x 2160.

How do I correct this?

Keepass XC Issues

Hi all!

I've been trying to get my keepass XC 2.7 global auto type (and autotype at all) to work on my manjaro plasma install. I currently have no menu options for this at all.

I've followed a few guides online and completed the kpu install but this has not worked.

Has anyone experienced this before?

Thank you!

Create A Virtual Console running KDE

I am not a Linux guru so please understand my terminology may not be correct.

Is it possible/feasible to create a virtual console running KDE?

When I press Control Alt F3-F7 I only get a black screen. I remember in the old days or maybe just a different distro that there were multiple consoles. Anyway I would like to create another virtual console and have it run KDE. I am currently running KDE in the F2 virtual console (default console?).

So Control Alt F3 would take me to a different KDE session which I could configure independently from KDE in F2.

I originally tried to set this up using Virtual Desktops however KDE does not support different panels on different Virtual Desktops.

[KDE] MIME types for opening certain types of links in Firefox

Excuse me if I can’t properly explain my issue as I lack a bit of vocabulary and technical background in the matter.

Also this is more of a general Linux question I believe, or maybe it’s closer related to the DE I’m using.

Using Firefox on KDE, I want to associate opening certain link with a Wine app. The app in question is Vortex for downloading files from Nexusmods.

Download links on Nexus can open Vortex to start the download within the manager. Now it comes to what I believe might be mime type associations. You can choose what types do what within Firefox’ settings. By default it’s set to “system handler”. Now I can’t seem to find info on what the system handler does. At least not for my specific problem. When it’s about file types, it’s rather obvious, as I assume firefox will just use whatever program is associated to the file type via KDE’s settings.

Now Nexus download links for Vortex are in short called “nxm” as a “type” in Firefox. However, there’s no suche type within KDE’s settings. Whenever I click on these links it will open btop by default. It seems there no way to find and change this association. Choosing a program within Firefox to associate with “nxm links”also doesn’t work, at least not with Vortex via Wine (selected through a .desktop “shortcut”).

Could anybody shed more light on how these kind of types are handled, so I might find a solution to open these links with the intended app?

Plasma 6 on Stable

I'm looking forward to using Plasma 6. I've tried looking around on the forums, but I've not been able to parse what I'm finding. Is there a way to see the progress it's making though Testing and get an idea of when we might see it on Stable?

I was kinda expecting it to be here already, but I prefer to not have issues with the upgrade, so I'm content to wait until the devs are happy with it.

May the 4th be with you all you Gnome lovers

Looking at the past history of Manjaro Stable Gnome releases and the timing from the official release and testing and unstable etc. I predict that Manjaro Linux are planning an amazing Jedi powered surprise for us Gnome lovers on May 4th.

Now, it is likely to happen around May 4th but I just think personally that it would be very cool. I don't have any inside information. This is all just speculation keeping track of dates from past releases.

I am happy whenever they release it and find that their timing in releasing Gnome on the stable branch has always been perfect for me. I just thought this would be a little bit of a fun prediction.
