I. Get iso http://manjaro.org/get-manjaro/ write to USB or burn DAO/SAO slowest

II. Reboot and Config: A. Populate /var/cache/apt/archives B. Install doublecmd-qt axel geeqie mc

mirage fsarchiver transmission dropbox C. Install AUR google-chrome (suspender)

acroread masterpdfedit copy.com D. For HP-P1102w & HP-3050 run hp-setup

or hp-toolbox in root console for HPLIP E. Setup scanner Acer/Benq S2W 3300U

(semi-Linux compatible): a. mkdir /usr/share/sane/snapscanb. cp /data/Hardware/Acer-Benq-scanner/u176v046.bin /usr/share/sane/snapscanc. Make these changes in /etc/sane.d/snapscan.conf un-comment: dev/usb/scanner0 bus=usb; add the line: firmware /usr/share/sane/snapscan/u176v046.bin

F. Distro Independent Boot Partition (after @gohlip on Manjaro forum) 1. Create 30 – 50 MiB ext2 partition from a running distro, mine are all on /dev/sda5 # mount /dev/sda5 /mnt ;; the distro independent boot partition2. Install grub2 on boot partition: # grub-install --boot-directory=/mnt/boot /dev/sda3. Create custom /boot/grub/grub.cfg as per examples in my dropbox, 7-HW,etc./0 BOOTR.4. New distro installation: Get new boot stanzas from /boot/grub/grub.cfg of newly installed distro. Set OS bootloader to it's own root partition, sdaN: # grub-install --force /dev/sdaN5. Update changed UUIDs: swap, resume and distros in the custom /mnt/boot/grub/grub.cfg

III.Tweaks A. Configure desktop, wallpaper, environment, settings, users, etal... B. for EeePC: install eee-acpi-scripts

then add “quiet silent acpi_osi=Linux” to /etc/default/grub & update-grub C. tune2fs -m2 /dev/sdaX where / is located. (changes 5% to 2%) D. Dual mon: xrandr --output LVDS1 --auto --output VGA1 --auto --above LVDS1 E. Belkin Router: 00:22:75:4A:AD:EF Router IP: 192.168.2.1 F. git clone https://github.com/*/*.git G. set xterm -geom 100x25 -e htop and/or xfce4-terminal --geometry 100x25 H.

Wifi management: ifconfig iwconfig ifup ifdown lspci -vv J. users: # adduser for new, # addgroup for new groups. aptitude keep-all K. Swapiness: set “sudo sysctl vm.swappiness=50” && “cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness”

Set perm, add vm.swappiness=50 to end of /etc/sysctl.conf Default: 0-60-100 L. Inxi button: xterm -fg yellow -bg black -hold -geom 140x25 -e "bash /usr/bin/inxi -Fxz" M. MaxiMini: wmctrl -r :ACTIVE: -b toggle,maximized_veRrt,maximized_horz

button = object-flip-horizontal N. Thunar Actions:

How BIG? = xterm -hold -e du -chs %N Verify md5sum = xterm -fg gold -bg black -geom 60x6 -hold -e 'md5sum -c %F' “ sha1sum = xterm -fg gold -bg black -geom 60x6 -hold -e ' sha1sum -c %F' “ sha256sum = xterm -fg gold -bg black -geom 60x6 -hold -e 'sha256sum -c %F' Create symlink = ln -s %f '%n (symlink)'

O. … and when when you have it as you like it, make an fsarchiver snapshot!

IV. Others A. Yogurt: 4 c. water + 2 c. dry milk + ¼ c. live yogurt; 8 - 12 hours at 115ºF. B. For Samsung phone: APN =Access Point Name: movistar.WAP wap.movistar.ve C. DLink KVM-2K: Scroll-lock + Scroll-lock +1 or 2 / +S (scan every 10 secs) / +ESC

V. Tips A. App won't nstall issues: sudo rm -f /var/lib/pacman/db.lck &&

sudo pacman-mirrors -g && sudo pacman -Syyuu && sudo pacman -Suu B. Console: ssh user@ip ssh -X user@ip File manager: sftp://user@ip lsusb C. $ startx > /dev/null 2>&1 # etune # e2label Time:%T Date:%F TimeTip:%A %x

# dpkg-reconfigure tzdata (for older Debian versions - tzconfig)# date MMDDhhmmCCYY.00 && date && hwclock --systohc && date && hwclock

D. NO PUBKEY displays YourErrorNumber: gpg --keyserver pgpkeys.mit.edu --recv-key YourErrorNumbergpg -a –export ReturnedKeyNumber | sudo apt-key add -

E. smartctl --H ;(help) smartctl –s=on /dev/sda ;(turn on) F. VirtualBox: sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup G. dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb to zero USB then Gparted >Device >CreatePartitionTable

dd if=path-to-input-file.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=4M;sync gparted⁂ resize & create live-rw H. fsarchiver as root, to clone or restore to an unmounted partition, # cd /fsa and then:

# fsarchiver -ov savefs filename.fsa /dev/sdxN# fsarchiver -ov restfs filename.fsa id=0,dest=/dev/sdxN

I. Cloning ntfs: Restore to sdxN, gparted to make sdxN bootable: umount, reboot sdxN J. Print PDF: Reverse=Even Pages/Reverse ON; Anverse=Odd Pages/Reverse OFF K. Print ODF: Reverse=Even Pages/Reverse ??; Anverse=Odd Pages/Reverse ?? L. qpdf --decrypt input-file.pdf output-file.pdf {remove password from pdf files}

VI. SATA Partitions, BIOS: 4 primaries; or 3 primaries & 1 extended with max 15 logicals

Partitions, ext4: P1=30G; P2=30G; P3=data 360G±; L5 BOOTR, L6swap, Ln = ca 12 -18 G eachLeave /home on the root partition, use a separate /DATL Primary partition & automount it.
