The more important the app is to employees' work, the longer the pilot period should be. This pilot will allow you to gather feedback about any potential issues employees may have when using the new app. That way, you’ll have time to address these issues before deploying the app to everyone.<div class="alert alert-doks" role="alert" style="background: rgb(255, 249, 196); border-color: rgb(255, 211, 0); border-image: initial; border-radius: 10px; border-style: solid; border-width: 0px 0px 0px 0.75rem; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3d391a; margin: 1.5rem 0px; padding: 1rem 1.5rem; position: relative;"><div class="alert-title" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Space Grotesk", Inter, Roboto, -apple-system, blinkmacsystemfont, "Segoe UI", roboto, "Helvetica Neue", arial, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-feature-settings: "liga", "ss04", "case"; font-size: 1.25rem; font-weight: 700; margin-bottom: 0.5rem;">Tip</div><div class="d-flex" style="box-sizing: border-box; display: flex !important;"><div class="w-100" style="box-sizing: border-box; width: 492.5px;">We recommend choosing a group of <span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bolder;">5 employees</span> to initially pilot test a new app with. According to research, small-scale tests of 5 users are sufficient to find 85% of usability issues. Afterward, adding another <span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bolder;">10 employees</span> (for a total of 15) should allow you to find most – if not all – usability issues before the full-scale deployment of a new app.<small class="d-block mt-2" style="box-sizing: border-box; display: block !important; font-size: 0.875em; margin-top: 0.5rem !important;">Source: <a href="https://www.nngroup.com/articles/why-you-only-need-to-test-with-5-users/" rel="noopener" style="box-sizing: border-box;" target="_blank">Nielsen Norman Group</a></small></div></div></div></li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 1rem 0px;">After identifying and addressing the usability issues that your pilot group found, deploy the new app to all of your organization’s computers. Keep the legacy app installed on the computers (alongside the new alternative app). That way, employees could gradually get familiar with the new app at their own pace. Continue gathering feedback from employees to address any new usability issues they may find.</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 1rem 0px;">When employees get comfortable using the new alternative app, you may uninstall the legacy app from their computers.</li></ol><p style="background-color: #f5f7fa; box-sizing: border-box; color: #123354; font-family: Inter, Roboto, -apple-system, blinkmacsystemfont, "Segoe UI", roboto, "Helvetica Neue", arial, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 18px; letter-spacing: -0.36px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;">If you’ve selected multiple alternative apps, you can repeat the above steps for each app one by one.

This manager performs the necessary operations for our Operating System to boot effectively and we have no problems in this process. When the Kernel has loaded correctly, the GRUB will give it the power to complete the boot. Occasionally we may find that Ubuntu does not boot and we need to repair Ubuntu boot to load the system.</p>

<h3 style="text-align: left;">How to make a backup under Linux Zorin.</h3><p>At first glance, the first desire that comes to mind and according to our own chosen expressions, is to protest against this intrusion. But if you look a little closer, you realize that this window kindly suggests you make a backup and defaults to the /home directory where our data and all the parameters of our installed software are located. Finally a good idea.</p><p>So I started the backup by first configuring where I wanted to backup my data.</p><h4 style="text-align: left;">Backup Files.</h4><p>How to back up files from your computer and tips to keep your data safe.</p><p>There are many ways to back up important files on your computer. It’s a personal choice which one to use based on habits, preferences, and what is being backed up. We will outline a few options here, but the right solution for you may be a mix of several of these options.</p><h4 style="text-align: left;">Backup Policy.</h4><p>The key to good backups is having the data automatically backed up, accessible, secure, and distributed. All backup solutions should be evaluated against these 4 criteria:</p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Automatic. Data is automatically backed up. Manual copies work well in some cases, but automatic backups make sure it’s always fresh, and that nothing is lost if a manual backup isn’t performed.</li><li>Accessible. Data needs to be retrievable and easily restorable if the original is lost.</li><li>Secure. Data needs to be accessible only by the owner. Cloud solutions are convenient, but extra steps may be required to make sure the data is private.</li><li>Distributed. Data needs to be in multiple places. If all the copies are in one location, the risk of data loss increases. For example, if your data is saved to a USB disk in your house, but there is a fire, both the computer and the backup disk could potentially be lost at the same time.</li></ul><p></p><p>To prevent data loss, we recommend that any important data is backed up in at least 3 places:</p><p>Two on-site copies.</p><p>One off-site copy. It could be on:</p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>a cloud storage service.</li><li>a drive kept in a safety deposit box or at a trusted friend’s/relative’s house.</li></ul><p></p><h4 style="text-align: left;">Backups app.</h4><p>The built-in Backups app in Zorin OS is a straightforward and effortless way to back up your files. It can be used to back up your data locally, remotely, or to a cloud server. It can also be set up to run automatically on a regular basis.</p><h4 style="text-align: left;">Select Data to Backup .</h4><p>Open the Zorin Menu → Utilities → Backups.</p><p>After launching the Backups app, you can select the folders you wish to save or ignore using the pages listed in the left sidebar of the app.</p><p>By default, Backups will backup your entire Home folder, which includes your Documents, Pictures, Music, and Videos folders. It ignores your Downloads folder and any items in the Trash.</p><p>Use the + and - buttons as needed to modify both categories.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlWlEdIrJnrLrmpGLHvqsVq-we_iTo1RA0hbSlxOWpc14hJZz1fUOYzPjLjMfRtXS00Gr1tO5sehSDgbuNAvVLdSBYb6Ih1Rj79gzvxNk47fFhiCx_LV4L8xrslPAKciVQ4FVkOOp_QiSSK9B9Z-TM8ZrvpC6kl7ssqBKG_FgSC2pr3f8Tq0PpY6ZxjMTX/s738/zorin-backups-selection.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="446" data-original-width="738" height="386" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlWlEdIrJnrLrmpGLHvqsVq-we_iTo1RA0hbSlxOWpc14hJZz1fUOYzPjLjMfRtXS00Gr1tO5sehSDgbuNAvVLdSBYb6Ih1Rj79gzvxNk47fFhiCx_LV4L8xrslPAKciVQ4FVkOOp_QiSSK9B9Z-TM8ZrvpC6kl7ssqBKG_FgSC2pr3f8Tq0PpY6ZxjMTX/w640-h386/zorin-backups-selection.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /><h4 style="text-align: left;">Choose a Backup Location.</h4><p>On the “Storage location” page, you can set the location where your backups will be stored.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6B1Uu0oubCNrC0zx_0uGpPzsf5VUErJ2bCrbJKvhhEMsO2H_IlOSmWkga5ABxWQ0Hy4UzIN3xGyaw_-QDZY7dC_Nsa1zZXnMBf8FXgqoda4bG6yQ_CaamkvgeCfW25chlK1-sOylxB2K5WLH6vgOaQACiFU0mn1q7ySWxLhxxXEBUKWEGzSiEye2nwxJE/s738/zorin-backups-scheduling.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="446" data-original-width="738" height="386" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6B1Uu0oubCNrC0zx_0uGpPzsf5VUErJ2bCrbJKvhhEMsO2H_IlOSmWkga5ABxWQ0Hy4UzIN3xGyaw_-QDZY7dC_Nsa1zZXnMBf8FXgqoda4bG6yQ_CaamkvgeCfW25chlK1-sOylxB2K5WLH6vgOaQACiFU0mn1q7ySWxLhxxXEBUKWEGzSiEye2nwxJE/w640-h386/zorin-backups-scheduling.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p>The available options are:</p><h4 style="text-align: left;">Local Folder.</h4><div style="text-align: left;">Back up data to an internal or external hard drive, SSD, or USB flash drive.</div><p>PROS <br /></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Easy to set up.</li><li>Accessible.</li><li>Secure.</li></ul><p></p><p>Backups typically happen quickly because they’re using a high-speed direct connection.</p><p style="text-align: left;">CONS </p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Single point of failure.

You can set to automatically sync backups of your local files using the built-in Backups app by following the instructions above.</p><p>Another option is Nextcloud, which is an Open Source cloud solution that is completely controlled by the user. The remote server needs to be set up manually and self-hosted, or a trusted third party could be paid to set up and maintain the server. As a result, this is more suited for businesses and organizations.</p><h4 style="text-align: left;">Encrypting files on the cloud.</h4><p>One solution to keep the data from being read by cloud storage service providers is to keep all of the files in password-protected archives. That way, your files can’t be easily accessed by anyone without the password.</p><p>You can create an encrypted archive using the Archive Manager app in Zorin OS.</p><p>View how to create an encrypted archive ›</p><h4 style="text-align: left;">Copy data manually.</h4><p>With an external or network drive attached, data can be manually copied to an external drive using the Files app.</p><p>Plug in an external drive.</p><p>Open the Files app.</p><p>Select the files and folders you wish to copy, right-click on them and select “Copy”.</p><p>Navigate to the external drive from the left sidebar of the Files app or the “Other Locations” section.</p><p>Right-click and “Paste” the data to the external drive.</p><p>PROS.</p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Easy and straightforward to copy data from one place to another.</li></ul><p></p><p>XCS.</p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Because the process is manual, updates and changes to the data may be missed over time.</li><li>No geographical redundancy (for local drives).</li></ul><p></p>

<h3 style="text-align: left;">Easier to install Windows apps.</h3><p>For those who wish to use Windows apps and games in Zorin OS, we’ve made it even easier to find and install Windows App Support. You can now simply open the Zorin Menu, navigate to the “System Tools” section, and open “Windows App Support” to activate it in one click.</p><h4 style="text-align: left;">Install Windows App Support from the Zorin Menu.</h4><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsyZwNJYzwiLvsvFTkt_1Gvnr0EoNksOmL4Ftvb08QlS3H7yrAkSFab2O15FbcTEB-dpd6lcpFhAOjVfjE-dDG7WL8qHMet-dCPo5yumWtkeagkuBCRPqsJaMWf2rOdzY4P8VifC4f3emFzo9S1l7lp3Ssmh10BOMqmEG8UykFMpfq4-y4cKTlOOTmZCat/s580/zorin-install-windows-app-support.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="580" height="442" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsyZwNJYzwiLvsvFTkt_1Gvnr0EoNksOmL4Ftvb08QlS3H7yrAkSFab2O15FbcTEB-dpd6lcpFhAOjVfjE-dDG7WL8qHMet-dCPo5yumWtkeagkuBCRPqsJaMWf2rOdzY4P8VifC4f3emFzo9S1l7lp3Ssmh10BOMqmEG8UykFMpfq4-y4cKTlOOTmZCat/w640-h442/zorin-install-windows-app-support.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div>We’ve also expanded our built-in database that detects Windows installer files for popular apps and games. It provides even more tailored recommendations for alternatives to sideloading Windows executables, guiding you to a better user experience. </div><div><br /></div><div>For example, launching Windows installers for the Epic Games Store or GOG Galaxy now directs you to install the Heroic Games Launcher, which is the best way to play games from these stores in Zorin OS.</div><h4 style="text-align: left;">Epic Games Store in Heroic Launcher.</h4><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghDuAhpFuPcHxDDwNUh9n7DXX_W3KQ92T_HEPTncDGm7ZQLJFJ8HfCfkPfuJke9lOaVZX2pdzrECLKkaHLRib4ZGd46zwENd4-as7VIN4dt_jvOMh6PXZnkDGOvYvSn1VpJTF2PdpjzFAIoVQ5OQ2EnE4a6_rJtjsunRdApeFwiQse8IunS013uKlD79P9/s960/zorin-heroic-epic.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="653" data-original-width="960" height="436" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghDuAhpFuPcHxDDwNUh9n7DXX_W3KQ92T_HEPTncDGm7ZQLJFJ8HfCfkPfuJke9lOaVZX2pdzrECLKkaHLRib4ZGd46zwENd4-as7VIN4dt_jvOMh6PXZnkDGOvYvSn1VpJTF2PdpjzFAIoVQ5OQ2EnE4a6_rJtjsunRdApeFwiQse8IunS013uKlD79P9/w640-h436/zorin-heroic-epic.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div>These improvements help take the guesswork out of running your favorite apps and games, regardless of which platform they were originally developed for. It’s another step towards making Zorin OS the most friendly and accessible alternative to Windows for everyday users.</div><h4 style="text-align: left;">Enhancing the office experience.</h4><p><b>Alternatives to Microsoft fonts.</b></p><p>When documents are created on other platforms, they often use the default fonts from Microsoft Office/365 or Windows. However, these fonts are under a proprietary license, so they can’t be pre-installed in Zorin OS for all users.</p><p>Because of this, documents may display with incompatible fonts instead. This can cause documents to not only look different than intended but also to shift their layout and corrupt their formatting.</p><h4 style="text-align: left;">Comparison with previous font selection.</h4><p>Because of how prevalent these proprietary fonts are in documents, this issue became a significant barrier to those hoping to switch to Zorin OS for their work environment.</p><p>Zorin OS 16.2 comes with an updated font selection to help solve this problem. We’ve introduced Open Source metric-compatible alternatives to some of the most popular fonts. They appear similar to their proprietary counterparts and have the same character dimensions, so documents display with the correct formatting.</p><p>Carlito: the alternative to Calibri (the default typeface in Microsoft Office/365)</p><p>Caladea: the alternative to Cambria</p><p>Gelasio: the alternative to Georgia</p><p>Selawik: the alternative to Segoe UI</p><p>Comic Relief: the alternative to Comic Sans</p><p>Comparison with new fonts in Zorin OS 16.2</p><p>They complement the existing selection of metric-compatible alternative fonts previously included in Zorin OS:</p><p>Arimo: the alternative to Arial</p><p>Tinos: the alternative to Times New Roman</p><p>Cousine: the alternative to Courier New</p><p>The system substitutes these fonts automatically, so you can start working on documents from other platforms seamlessly.</p><h4 style="text-align: left;">The new LibreOffice.</h4><p>LibreOffice is one of the most important apps in Zorin OS, and with this new release, it’s getting even better. We’ve included LibreOffice 7.4, the latest version of the award-winning office suite.

The consequences of not doing so, mainly if you intend to install Manjaro as your primary operating system, should be obvious, that a corrupt image could result in a corrupt installation.</p><p>To perform the review, you must first download the checksum file from the same source website as your chosen ISO image. A checksum file will have the same name as the ISO image that will be used; with the only difference that in the end it will end in -sha1.sum or -sha256.sum. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5vtsXE8AsHdlKy1uo8ZCzpQLnEm9C49U6RispEOsl2wGkTms7q8hGuDy8VOW7eA16q5kS1R2R-pjJ8Kj5oVKFQQez24y8CXtX4gVbqrhpGrSM3WvaVTS815KD4olQNUS__yGPmYZ6drKT4783YaPweEtt-X64ToyYsoC12-ZBTr2uL7wGNQBs14_ZCfZ0/s980/Manjaro-error.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="716" data-original-width="980" height="468" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5vtsXE8AsHdlKy1uo8ZCzpQLnEm9C49U6RispEOsl2wGkTms7q8hGuDy8VOW7eA16q5kS1R2R-pjJ8Kj5oVKFQQez24y8CXtX4gVbqrhpGrSM3WvaVTS815KD4olQNUS__yGPmYZ6drKT4783YaPweEtt-X64ToyYsoC12-ZBTr2uL7wGNQBs14_ZCfZ0/w640-h468/Manjaro-error.png" width="640" /></a></div><div><br /></div>

<h3 style="text-align: left;">Manjaro Guide: Checking For Errors.</h3><p>For example, the appropriate checksum for the file manjaro-xfce-0.8.1-x86_64.iso (Manjaro 64-bit release 0.8.1 with the XFCE desktop) would be:</p><p>manjaro-xfce-0.8.1-x86_64-sha1.sum, and/or</p><p>manjaro-xfce-0.8.1-x86_64-sha256.sum</p><p>To check for errors in your application, open a terminal and type the executable command for your application. Running the application in the terminal can often provide valuable error output that can help troubleshoot any issues. Keep in mind that not all applications output to the terminal by default, so you may need to pass a debug command or configure your application to do so.</p><p>Common errors that can cause an application to crash or fail include "core dump," "crash," or "assertion" errors. If you encounter any of these, take note of the error message and search for solutions online or consult with the community forum for assistance.</p><p>If you encounter errors with the keywords "core dump," "crash," or "assertion," it's likely that there's a bug or issue with the software that's causing the error. To resolve the issue, you'll need to report the error to the appropriate issue tracker for that software.</p><p>Reporting the issue to the issue tracker helps developers to identify and fix the problem. Before opening an issue, be sure to provide as much information as possible about the error, including the error message and any steps you took before the error occurred. This will help developers to reproduce the issue and provide a more effective solution.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhF7Fn7rN0WEKcC9d70i--gS8fHRSFRpumq1EPIqQL6-ExCt0gstDOaM4IhwIYe_LCWaP_UDlKzrNH29uRXUD3oWWXj5nOvT33EuOhC6L3ztb9kcOrF8shAO407YK6VeFzR3nLbx1ZVwR2BmZUhDFnfMVoMre7dQNImHh7diSJo5fMDuXYT_YYGhZZWo3f0/s800/manjaro-error-1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="603" data-original-width="800" height="482" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhF7Fn7rN0WEKcC9d70i--gS8fHRSFRpumq1EPIqQL6-ExCt0gstDOaM4IhwIYe_LCWaP_UDlKzrNH29uRXUD3oWWXj5nOvT33EuOhC6L3ztb9kcOrF8shAO407YK6VeFzR3nLbx1ZVwR2BmZUhDFnfMVoMre7dQNImHh7diSJo5fMDuXYT_YYGhZZWo3f0/w640-h482/manjaro-error-1.png" width="640" /></a></div><h4 style="text-align: left;">Using journalctl.</h4><p>Journalctl is a logging utility that's part of the systemd system and can be used to view system logs, including any errors that occur on your operating system. The most important log to search within journalctl is the error log, as it can provide valuable information to help diagnose and troubleshoot issues.</p><p>To use journalctl, open a terminal and type "journalctl -p 3 -xb" to view the error log. This will display any errors that have occurred since the last boot. For more examples of how to use journalctl, consult the man pages or browse the bropages.</p><p>Using journalctl to diagnose errors can be a helpful tool in resolving issues with your operating system or applications.</p><p>Using keywords to target a specific name search.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsYLx-rQa7A7fqkatbGYv-MD93SevbglMqYijuaO3tF9mh04fFJxaN1n17tAWXBMlNXLF0MPrGiaq4eMJ593dFJ8MvRwXf1WgQkcAllByJwXrLzbCruA3FA-4ub7u9Q7-ht494hUpFqFI0rL5nQK5VBJ0S5UaFYXvAPOui0lvGvVzv1osxv_NybYkZ1mue/s800/manjaro-error-2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="491" data-original-width="800" height="392" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsYLx-rQa7A7fqkatbGYv-MD93SevbglMqYijuaO3tF9mh04fFJxaN1n17tAWXBMlNXLF0MPrGiaq4eMJ593dFJ8MvRwXf1WgQkcAllByJwXrLzbCruA3FA-4ub7u9Q7-ht494hUpFqFI0rL5nQK5VBJ0S5UaFYXvAPOui0lvGvVzv1osxv_NybYkZ1mue/w640-h392/manjaro-error-2.png" width="640" /></a></div><h4 style="text-align: left;">Checking Logs.</h4><p>To view logs for applications that create logs in the directory (/var/log), navigate to this directory using the terminal or file manager. Note that not all applications create logs in this directory, but those that do can be accessed by opening any file ending in (.log) and viewing its contents in plain text.</p><p>To navigate to the /var/log directory using the terminal, use the command "cd /var/log" to change the directory. Once you're in the directory, you can use the command "ls" to list the files in the directory. From here, you can open any file ending in (.log) using a text editor such as gedit or nano on the terminal to view its contents.</p><p>Checking log files in the /var/log directory can be a useful tool for troubleshooting issues with your operating system or applications.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOGaOVFzPNp0nX7Cd5LcsMMw3C2uXwpaTvGJrB0hzXZSLXqRXCciVOUK_o3PCk5VetX6TH9sqn1i7ijgd_GkVU56O4T_23hF6SGoQ6m62Y4WbZK6fhBUFSVECOCOivnHX8qPR4l7-kmVhb4-SbkzS1hfqwF-cpIBxZ7DMD1cUvNZLWCCwkPDzbrCJFzBRC/s800/manjaro-error-3.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="106" data-original-width="800" height="84" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOGaOVFzPNp0nX7Cd5LcsMMw3C2uXwpaTvGJrB0hzXZSLXqRXCciVOUK_o3PCk5VetX6TH9sqn1i7ijgd_GkVU56O4T_23hF6SGoQ6m62Y4WbZK6fhBUFSVECOCOivnHX8qPR4l7-kmVhb4-SbkzS1hfqwF-cpIBxZ7DMD1cUvNZLWCCwkPDzbrCJFzBRC/w640-h84/manjaro-error-3.png" width="640" /></a></div><h4 style="text-align: left;">Checking logs on Xorg.</h4><p>Xorg is the default display server for most Manjaro editions, with the exception of Gnome. To view Xorg logs, navigate to the directory (/home/.local/share/xorg/) and open the Xorg.0.log file. This log file records any errors that occur with graphical applications running on the Xorg server.</p><p>For Gnome users, the display server is Wayland and logs can be found in the same directory with a different name.</p><p>If you need to view system logs from multiple sources, the Manjaro Log Helper tool can be a useful tool.

<h3 style="text-align: left;">Manjaro Guide: Adding Printing Capabilities.</h3><p>First, install the manjaro-printer package using your favorite package manager or by using the command:</p><p>user $ pamac install manjaro-printerCOPY TO CLIPBOARD</p><p>Note that you may need to add yourself to the sys group. To do this, use the command:</p><p>user $ sudo gpasswd -a your_username sysCOPY TO CLIPBOARD</p><p>Once the necessary software has been installed, to start and enable printing capabilities, enter the following commands:</p><p>user $ sudo systemctl enable --now cups.serviceCOPY TO CLIPBOARD</p><p>user $ sudo systemctl enable --now cups.socketCOPY TO CLIPBOARD</p><p>user $ sudo systemctl enable --now cups.pathCOPY TO CLIPBOARD</p><p>If easy detection of network printers is needed (not all editions have avahi installed and running) the following service can be installed & started:</p><p>user $ pamac install avahiCOPY TO CLIPBOARD</p><p>user $ sudo systemctl enable --now avahi-daemon.serviceCOPY TO CLIPBOARD</p><p>At this point you should be ready to configure a printer.</p><h4 style="text-align: left;">Managing Printers with HP Device Manager.</h4><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEix6T3ukYOG7AVTjMRJ0z-o5F7Ae-JwktoEgXr8i06Q-irGZ7PTsGP3tuSjH8Q8RxqakLKNyD4zyWu7xzjNL0_H-am_DGej2TUKXAxmno37EZGGzKErLjcIlyzszJp-5j0xsVImVImJ2_2G0wuJUw4PXAdKDmqXpkV6JW52bukU4jUPgT6dQUzyUryA8tf4/s699/manjaro-impresora1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="495" data-original-width="699" height="454" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEix6T3ukYOG7AVTjMRJ0z-o5F7Ae-JwktoEgXr8i06Q-irGZ7PTsGP3tuSjH8Q8RxqakLKNyD4zyWu7xzjNL0_H-am_DGej2TUKXAxmno37EZGGzKErLjcIlyzszJp-5j0xsVImVImJ2_2G0wuJUw4PXAdKDmqXpkV6JW52bukU4jUPgT6dQUzyUryA8tf4/w640-h454/manjaro-impresora1.png" width="640" /></a></div><p>If have a printer made by HP, the easiest way to manage it is with the HP Device Manager(hp-toolbox).

Assuming CUPS has been enabled (and started), upon connecting a printer, it should be automatically detected and configured for you to use. The process itself should take only about a minute. However, if the automatic detection and configuration doesn't seem to work, then your printer can be manually set up with relative ease. There are two methods to do so:</p><p>Webpage Interface: CUPS provides an webpage interface that will open in your default web browser to configure your printer. This interface also provides access to further information about CUPS, as well as on-line help.</p><p>Desktop Interface: A standard desktop wizard is also available, which should be instantly familiar to those who have configured a printer before, whether using Linux or another operating system such as windows. Note that you may need to install your DE's printer config package using your favorite package manager or by using one of the following commands.</p><p>GNOME:</p><p>user $ pamac install system-config-printerCOPY TO CLIPBOARD</p><p>KDE:</p><p>user $ pamac install print-managerCOPY TO CLIPBOARD</p><h4 style="text-align: left;">CUPS Webpage Interface.</h4><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-J8vB7-OEIospPhFxvl1qZEw0-Gnr-UyoFrgwkyKYuQAKUFhpmTQcOheUQ99c71CZ3vEMVeMUHxMGyQ5Yk6_dYe5LefQpaaYoiKGxR04EL7vWqfs_sFN0GsYOdgrnzczthXJzZ0wiLWHcGegEHceTl4c_Uob2VnKiybFE4jgYKI970Ku3TFsUnyYfPco6/s1011/manjaro-impresora2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="666" data-original-width="1011" height="422" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-J8vB7-OEIospPhFxvl1qZEw0-Gnr-UyoFrgwkyKYuQAKUFhpmTQcOheUQ99c71CZ3vEMVeMUHxMGyQ5Yk6_dYe5LefQpaaYoiKGxR04EL7vWqfs_sFN0GsYOdgrnzczthXJzZ0wiLWHcGegEHceTl4c_Uob2VnKiybFE4jgYKI970Ku3TFsUnyYfPco6/w640-h422/manjaro-impresora2.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p>To access the webpage interface, select Manage Printing from your desktop menu.

<h3>Manjaro Guide: Using Multiple Kernels.</h3><p></p><p style="margin: 0.8rem 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">As the name would imply, as with the kernel of a seed, the Linux kernel is the core of a Linux operating system. Every other element of a Linux-based operating system is built around the kernel, which acts as an interface between your computer's hardware and the applications that run on it. As hardware and software applications become more complex and sophisticated, so do the kernels to fully utilise them. As such, Linux kernels are continually under development, with new revisions and versions being regularly released. Further information on the very latest developments in kernel technology can be found at The Linux Kernel Archives</p><p style="margin: 0.8rem 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">The first Linux kernel was originally developed by Linus Torvalds, the creator of Linux. It is now an open-source project containing millions of lines of code generated by thousands of programmers. However, Linus Torvalds still has the final authority on their development and release.</p><p style="margin: 0.8rem 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word;"></p><h4>Manjaro Settings Manager.</h4><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcuWh3GzI5m3PpuvnKuIp4uhaKSx4CQ0p59xVeRWCVFHbzaCgH_1ZlViUgpKqk4qVlgv9YzGKKmC0ZvahXeUbmCefCB9hvbM6gwY68KFXfGKrepCY2T4smgeOvXEsQDNCxeBaxSaEMa8SsfwBj3iDYKBKdhCE21n2USSL2NsbYBEXYWx5exSdOMIs-7HOK/s782/Manjaro.Msm-kernels.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="601" data-original-width="782" height="492" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcuWh3GzI5m3PpuvnKuIp4uhaKSx4CQ0p59xVeRWCVFHbzaCgH_1ZlViUgpKqk4qVlgv9YzGKKmC0ZvahXeUbmCefCB9hvbM6gwY68KFXfGKrepCY2T4smgeOvXEsQDNCxeBaxSaEMa8SsfwBj3iDYKBKdhCE21n2USSL2NsbYBEXYWx5exSdOMIs-7HOK/w640-h492/Manjaro.Msm-kernels.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p style="margin: 0.8rem 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">Manjaro Settings Manager offers an easy way to add and remove kernel (including the necessary kernel modules).</p><p style="margin: 0.8rem 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">New kernels can be installed by pressing the "Install" button. All necessary kernel modules will be installed automatically with a new kernel as well.</p><p style="margin: 0.8rem 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">Please consider the "Recommended" tag when choosing a kernel. LTS means Long Term Support, which is safest for most users. "What should I be aware of if I'm not on an LTS kernel?"</p><p style="margin: 0.8rem 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">The newest installed Kernel will be booted by default, but to run other kernels that are installed, see Selecting Kernels section below.</p><p style="margin: 0.8rem 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">Instead of using the Manjaro Settings Manager GUI to identify, choose, add, and remove kernels everything can be achieved from a terminal as well.</p><p style="margin: 0.8rem 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word;"></p><h4>Identifying the Kernel Being Used.</h4><p></p><p style="margin: 0.8rem 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">This terminal command will give your system's kernel information:</p><p style="margin: 0.8rem 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">user $ mhwd-kernel -liCOPY TO CLIPBOARD</p><p style="margin: 0.8rem 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">The above command not only shows which kernel is being used, it also lists any other kernels that are also installed, as shown in the following example Terminal output:</p><p style="margin: 0.8rem 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">$ mhwd-kernel -li</p><p style="margin: 0.8rem 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word;"> Currently running: 5.0.17-1-MANJARO (linux50)</p><p style="margin: 0.8rem 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word;"> The following kernels are installed in your system:</p><p style="margin: 0.8rem 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word;"> * linux419</p><p style="margin: 0.8rem 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word;"> * linux420</p><p style="margin: 0.8rem 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word;"> * linux50</p><p style="margin: 0.8rem 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">As seen in the above example, Manjaro is running kernel 5.0.17-1-MANJARO. The information given here is not arbitrary; each part of the kernel name identifies something about that kernel:</p><p style="margin: 0.8rem 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">The 5 indicates the version</p><p style="margin: 0.8rem 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">The 0 indicates the major revision</p><p style="margin: 0.8rem 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">The 17 indicates the minor revision</p><p style="margin: 0.8rem 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">The 1 indicates the revision of the Manjaro package</p><p style="margin: 0.8rem 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">MANJARO indicates the specific distribution it is used for</p><p style="margin: 0.8rem 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word;"></p><h4>Adding New Kernels.</h4><p></p><p style="margin: 0.8rem 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">Tip</p><p style="margin: 0.8rem 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">mhwd-kernel will automatically update a newly installed kernel with any modules currently used in your existing kernel. For example, if you were to update from kernel 4.14 to 4.19, mhwd-kernel would automatically update 4.19 with any and all modules present in 4.14. How about that!</p><p style="margin: 0.8rem 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">Manjaro not only supports the use of multiple kernels (selectable from the boot screen), but allows easy access to the very latest bleeding edge kernels as well. This is undertaken through use of Manjaro's own MHWD-kernel (Manjaro Hard-Ware Detection) command. The syntax of the command is as follows:</p><p style="margin: 0.8rem 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">sudo mhwd-kernel [-i] [new kernel: linux(version)] [optional - remove the current kernel: rmc]</p><p style="margin: 0.8rem 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">When listing a new kernel to be installed in the command, it is not necessary to write the entire version number. For example, any version of Kernel 4.19 can be listed simply as 'linux419', and any version of Kernel 4.14 can be listed as 'linux414', and so on.</p><p style="margin: 0.8rem 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">The optional rmc (remove current) component is of vital importance. Using this will result in your existing kernel being deleted upon the installation of the new kernel. Otherwise, if it is not used, then the existing kernel will be kept, and will be selectable alongside the new kernel at the boot screen. It is recommended - especially if updating to the latest bleeding edge kernel - to keep your old one, even if only for a short time afterwards. This the safer option, and the old kernel can be easily removed when satisfied with the stability and functionality of the new one.</p><p style="margin: 0.8rem 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">As an example, once the terminal is opened, the following command will install a new kernel (4.19) without deleting the existing kernel currently being used:</p><p style="margin: 0.8rem 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">user $ sudo mhwd-kernel -i linux419COPY TO CLIPBOARD</p><p style="margin: 0.8rem 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">Otherwise, the following command will install a new kernel (5.10) to replace the existing kernel, which will be deleted:</p><p style="margin: 0.8rem 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">user $ sudo mhwd-kernel -i linux510 rmcCOPY TO CLIPBOARD</p><p style="margin: 0.8rem 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">Either way, Manjaro will automatically configure the new kernel for you, ready for immediate use. Once completed, close the terminal and re-boot the system for the change to take effect.</p><p style="margin: 0.8rem 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word;"></p><h4>Removing Kernels.</h4><p></p><p style="margin: 0.8rem 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">Warning</p><p style="margin: 0.8rem 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">DO NOT attempt to delete an existing kernel while it is actually being used by Manjaro at the time. You can first identify what kernel is running on your system by using the command mhwd-kernel -li in the terminal (see above).</p><p style="margin: 0.8rem 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">Where multiple kernels are present on your system, pacman can be used to remove them in the terminal. It may be necessary to delete a total of three elements of the kernel in total to completely remove it:</p><p style="margin: 0.8rem 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">The kernel itself</p><p style="margin: 0.8rem 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">The kernel's headers</p><p style="margin: 0.8rem 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">The kernel's extra modules</p><p style="margin: 0.8rem 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">Whether or not the headers and extra modules must be deleted depends on whether or not they have been installed.</p><p style="margin: 0.8rem 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">1. To remove a kernel use the following syntax: sudo mhwd-kernel -r linux[version]</p><p style="margin: 0.8rem 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">Here is an example for removing kernel 5.0.17-1</p><p style="margin: 0.8rem 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">user $ sudo mhwd-kernel -r linux50COPY TO CLIPBOARD</p><p style="margin: 0.8rem 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">2. To delete a kernel's headers, the syntax is:</p><p style="margin: 0.8rem 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">user $ sudo pacman -R linux[version]-headersCOPY TO CLIPBOARD</p><p style="margin: 0.8rem 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">For example, to delete the headers of kernel version 5.0.x from the system, the following command would be entered:</p><p style="margin: 0.8rem 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">user $ sudo pacman -R linux50-headersCOPY TO CLIPBOARD</p><p style="margin: 0.8rem 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">3. To delete a kernel's extra modules, the syntax is:</p><p style="margin: 0.8rem 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">user $ sudo pacman -R linux[version]-extramodulesCOPY TO CLIPBOARD</p><p style="margin: 0.8rem 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">For example, to delete the extra modules of kernel version 5.0.x from the system, the following command would be entered:</p><p style="margin: 0.8rem 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">user $ sudo pacman -R linux50-extramodulesCOPY TO CLIPBOARD</p><p style="margin: 0.8rem 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">4. To delete all elements of a kernel at the same time - where they are all present on your system - the syntax is:</p><p style="margin: 0.8rem 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">user $ sudo pacman -R linux[version] linux[version]-headers linux[version]-extramodulesCOPY TO CLIPBOARD</p><p style="margin: 0.8rem 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">For example, to completely remove all elements of kernel version 5.0.x, the following command would be entered:</p><p style="margin: 0.8rem 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">user $ sudo pacman -R linux50 linux50-headers linux50-extramodulesCOPY TO CLIPBOARD</p><p style="margin: 0.8rem 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">Please note however, that attempting to delete multiple elements at once if they are not present on your system will result in an error message before the operation itself is aborted. It is also worthwhile noting if Manjaro is being run in a virtual machine (e.g. Oracle Virtualbox), you may not be able to delete certain kernels if they contain elements important to the virtualisation process itself.</p><p style="margin: 0.8rem 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">Don't forget the mhwd-kernel -h command</p><p style="margin: 0.8rem 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">As with most Linux commands that can be entered into the Terminal, typing the command followed by either -h or --help will print out the usage & available options to the Terminal for your reference. Here is the output of the mhwd-kernel -h command:</p><p style="margin: 0.8rem 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">$ mhwd-kernel -h</p><p style="margin: 0.8rem 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">Usage: mhwd-kernel [option]</p><p style="margin: 0.8rem 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word;"> -h --help Show this help message</p><p style="margin: 0.8rem 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word;"> -i --install Install a new kernel [kernel(s)] [optional: rmc = remove current kernel]</p><p style="margin: 0.8rem 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word;"> -l --list List all available kernels</p><p style="margin: 0.8rem 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word;"> -li --listinstalled List installed kernels</p><p style="margin: 0.8rem 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word;"> -r --remove Remove a kernel [kernel(s)]</p><p style="margin: 0.8rem 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">All available kernels installed on your system will be presented upon booting up. GNU GRUB is visible with a couple of options. Choose "Advanced Options for Manjaro Linux" by using the arrow keys ↑ ↓ on your keyboard and then ↵ Enter.</p><p style="margin: 0.8rem 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">On the next screen (as illustrated) are backup copies of each kernel version installed (which will also be automatically removed if or when a kernel version is deleted). To select a kernel, simply use the arrow keys ↑ ↓ to highlight the desired version, and then press ↵ Enter.

<h3 style="text-align: left;">Arch User Repository.</h3><p>Although Manjaro is very close to Arch Linux and mostly compatible —being based on Arch Linux itself— it is not possible to access their official repositories for use in Manjaro.

It is still possible to access additional software packages from the Arch User Repository (AUR).</p><p>The AUR is managed by the Arch Linux user community itself.

Look over the results or narrow the search parameters - just remember pamac cannot tell you of any issues with build scripts - only the relevant page. E.g. following this link to the buildscript for Google Chrome</p><p>user $ pamac search Google ChromeCOPY TO CLIPBOARD</p><p>In the example we choose the standard version of Google Chrome. To build the google-chrome package with pamac enter the following and press enter</p><p>user $ pamac build google-chromeCOPY TO CLIPBOARD</p><p>You will be presented with the outcome of the chosen build with all dependencies and you will be asked a couple of questions.</p><p>Query to edit build files. This is a precaution to verify that the build scripts does not contain malicious actions.</p><p>Query to continue download and install dependencies then download the sources, build and install the app.</p><p>You will be asked for your password before anything happens.</p><h4 style="text-align: left;">Using GUI Octopi.</h4><p>See this guide for enabling AUR support in Octopi.</p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Installing from the AUR by hand.</li><li>Manual.</li><li>To do that follow the steps given below:</li><li>Be sure you have the necessary files for building applications from source</li><li>user $ pamac install base-devel gitCOPY TO CLIPBOARD</li><li>Clone the PKGBUILD</li></ul><p></p><p>user $ git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/google-chrome.gitCOPY TO CLIPBOARD</p><p>Change directory to cloned folder</p><p>user $ cd google-chromeCOPY TO CLIPBOARD</p><p>To make/compile the package, run:</p><p>user $ makepkg -sCOPY TO CLIPBOARD</p><p>This will build the package and pull in any dependencies needed.
