Manjaro on Reddit

(I hope "tech support" was the best flair choice here) So I was wanting to transfer some game files from my computer to an sd card. Just like I successfully did last week. But now my computer suddenly isn’t recognizing the card reader. At least not in a way I can use. (it’s also not recognizing flash drives) The card shows up in the terminal with lsblk fdisk lsusb I can find the card reader in terminal and it works immediately on my mom’s lubuntu laptop but I can’t get it to show up in Thunar. It did pop up once after several minutes but wouldn’t mount where I could explore the files… until it decided I could look… after buffering alot. When I tried to transfer files I got an “error splicing” message and it went back to being unable to do anything then vanished. I tested the card on a miyoo a30 and it does work. The usb slots on my computer ((a mini pc nucbox gmktec g3 with intel… all I could afford)) also work for everything else (I even transferred different files just today via a usb cord). …though I do remember having issues with flash drives and sd cards on card readers being stubborn back when I was using windows but it stopped after I switched to Manjaro… until now. I did have other issues with thunar yesterday and today that went away after I updated. Thunar would open but stop responding immediately after opening or as soon as I tried moving a file around. Don’t know if it’s related. Also last night it failed at transferring a file over usb cord but it worked fine after updating. So… that’s basically it… I don’t know what’s going on or how to fix it. The card shows up in terminal but won’t show up in Thunar (minus that one glitchy exception) or mount even though it did last week. I’ve tried mounting it from the terminal as well though maybe I did it wrong or it just didn’t work. I don’t know if it’s the drivers, thunar, my mini pc, the card reader, or what… Any help (with detailed instructions preferably) is appreciated. (i'm using xfce just to be clear) quick edit : just noticed my typo in the title... oops submitted by /u/TopIndependent2168 [link] [comments]

I really, really tried to give Gnome a chance without touching it since Gnome 2. I've used this machine in Gnome for months, and I really do not want to reimage. Is there an easy path to installing KDE, or am I better off reimaging? FWIW, this is my gaming PC, wouldn't be the end of the world if it broke, I was gonna reimage anyway and everything is backing up now. submitted by /u/ARandomBob [link] [comments]

Hi all, I was a bit impatient (stupid) when updating my system. Usually Manjaro is my main system, Win11 secondary. I clicked update and the view of the window changed for a short while - then it went back as if nothing happened. I thought „before something goes wrong I rather restart…“ yeah, I didn’t see any progress bar… so on the following start manjaro was in the start menu but it gave an error. See photo. Tried to fix it with manjaro-chroot -a where I was able to finish the update (I hope) and got as far as update-grub. Before doing that, at startup the dual boot was still there, manjaro just complained it can not be started. Now after update-grub the whole dual boot is gone and it starts directly to windows… Inside the bios startup I can still see Manjaro but when I chose it the display goes dark and back to bios login… Online I only find older explanations for restoring the grub dual boot. My partitions are not called sda1 sda2… that is the usb with manjaro live running. My partitions are something like nvme0n1p2. On the third picture is an error saying it could not find any grub drive for sda… maybe that’s a problem? Does anyone have a working procedure so I get my system back running?

So, i use linux for quite a wile now. I use arch (btw) on my work laptop and personal desktop and it working great for me. And i'm interested in using "raw" linux on my phone (I work with IoT so it should be more functional for me). I saw that manjaro has a pinephone version and was wandering if it could work on a S20 fe snapdragon. I don't know if there is a region difference on hardware or software, but mine is a brazilian version. (Hello from Brazil) submitted by /u/Nervous-Salary6794 [link] [comments]

I have a 1TB portable drive that I loaded a persistent Linux distro on, and no longer need it. Because of this, it has 3 partitions on it. I'm trying to use GParted to merge them into 1 single partition, but I am unable to figure out how to make this happen. Any help would be appreciated. Forgive me if its a dumb question, but I just cant figure it out. Thanks Cheers!! submitted by /u/Alarmed_Pepper_6868 [link] [comments]

Is this a known bug? Should I just switch to the Flatpak version instead? Or am I missing something obvious here? Any help would be appreciated, thanks! 🙏 submitted by /u/Ahmed_cs [link] [comments]

Hey everyone. Im new to Manjaro Linux and realized I came to it pretty late. So far, I really like it. The KDE desktop is my favorite. My concern is that with all of the talk about the manifesto, the possible splinter or the dual path of Manjaro, should I stay invested in it this early into my journey, or should I move on to a distro with a more solid support system. Thank you submitted by /u/Alarmed_Pepper_6868 [link] [comments]

Bug description: Blinking cursor, and a weird line of colors down there. I have to fix it by reinstalling NVIDIA drivers via a TTY with mhwd, and then use startx. Have to do this every single boot. Occurs at: Every boot Hardware and system info: Manjaro KDE, Linux Kernel 6.18 RTX 5060 mkinitcpio.conf contains NVIDIA modules at MODULES=() (nvidia, nvidia drm, etc...) Dual Boot with Windows 11 (I think it's irrelevant, but just in case) Desktop: KDE Plasma (X11) (just in case) submitted by /u/Aggravating-Army9933 [link] [comments]

CUPS does not support my HP model of printer. I guess HPLIP is packaged as DEB or RPM, hence only in AUR. Wouldn't install for me with dependancy issue, expected so & so, but cannot be provided? I avoid AUR as tends to break. I was surprised not packaged in main repos like other distros. If you down vote this to hell, then see you there, suckers! submitted by /u/fleamour [link] [comments]

Is it possible to return somehow to having clean, pixelated fonts as they were a few years ago? I make a sprite comic, which just looks better with pixelated letters, and up until the end of 2024 it was possible with adding: <match target=“font”> <edit name=“antialias” mode=“assign”> <bool>false</bool> </edit> </match> To the .fonts.conf file. Then in 2025 it just became… almost unreadably bad, and I had to go with what I call “blurry text”, which just doesn’t match the characters or the comic. And just a few years earlier it was cleaner still, perfect spacing, looking good. Is it possible to set Manjaro (Kolourpaint app) to at least go back to 2024’s fonts? Is it possible to get cleaner pixelated fonts again? submitted by /u/dragonmotherk [link] [comments]

hi! I'm new to linux and decided to challenge myself and install the manjaro xfce distro but I'm now facing a really tricky problem. My youtube is freezing and it shows the message "If playback doesn't start soon try restarting your device". I tried to follow up some tutorials on forums but I'm scared to mess up something and then not know how to fix it. on the other hand it works just fine on chromium. any help appreciated! submitted by /u/EfficiencySoft4273 [link] [comments]

Hey. I'm using Manjaro Linux on Wayland. I am a complete newb with Linux, just to warn you. I'm trying to record auditions for voice acting roles and I've noticed that the volume of my microphone keeps dropping. I've sat and watched it change while I was speaking. I'm getting irritated by it because it's affecting the quality of my auditions. I need it stopped. Does anyone know how to fix it? submitted by /u/TheMisfitMess [link] [comments]

Hello, I recently installed manjaro(dualbooted w windows) and it was my first time using it. I followed instructions from youtube to download it and i booted with open source drivers. When i tried to install NVIDIA drivers and i couldnt(it said something like no device of class found) and asked chatGPT for help. It asked me to run lspci | grep -E "VGA|3D" and it only listed the amd iGPU. so i asked chatGPT for more help and i folled instructions to turn on the dGPU and when i rebooted all i got was a black screen. I tried to fix it and i spent a lot of time on it but nothing seemed to work so i booted windows and deleted manjaro. Windows also seemed to have some side effect from those, like I wasnt able to turn the dGPU back to ECO mode. I am planning to reinstall manjaro soon. What should I do different and how do I install the drivers for the NVIDIA gpu?? submitted by /u/Arza1725 [link] [comments]

​ I've been using this same system for years but now after updating I automatically get logged into the GDM greeter user and when I log out I just get logged back into the user again. I also can't open any terminals but most other apps open fine (the gnome default one or kitty). submitted by /u/penguin_revolution [link] [comments]

I just installed Manjaro on a Gigabyte G5 laptop and it takes more than 7 min to boot. The first line of the sysemd-analyze blame result is '7min 30.742s systemd-modules-load.service' while the rest is well. There is also a partition with Windows 11, but it boots well as always. What is causing this and how do i solve it? Edit: New to linux, already reinstalled Edit 2: Solved, the problem was something about the nvidia drivers. submitted by /u/thesammu [link] [comments]
