Manjaro has been relatively so simple and easy to set up there are not really a lot of notes at this times.

  • Archlinux NFS
  • How to check mounted drives:
    • mount -l | grep nfs or mount -l | grep davfs
  • Scanning:
    • I had a license of Vuescan, so I installed the Linux version of this. Found a flatpak / snap package for the latest version on line….. (Avoid the use of snap packages as this is a propriety Ubuntu system.)
    • There are also also built in packages for scanners, called sane….
  • For PDF software I have got licenses for Foxit Pro (Phantom) which is one of the best PDF tools I have used, alas they do not make a Linux version of this. so I purchased a license of Qoppa PDF Studio 2019 Pro. So far it looks pretty good….
  • The CUPS printer interface is on web page; localhost:631
  • The PDF printer definition file was found at /usr/share/cups/model/
  • The default PDF printer output directory is /var/spool/cups-pdf/user/, where user is the user name.
  • Setup printer Epson WF7720 following on screen directions (Now that WF77200 and WF7725 are fully compatible.) Looks like there is a full driver for WF-7525, but do not know how compatible with WF7725.
  • Flatpak update will update flatpak packages.
  • The CUPS systemd unit file is: cups.service and cups.socket

The CUPS error log is at /var/log/cups/error_log
The CUPS configuration file is at /etc/cups/cupsd.conf


I have been using XFCE as my preferred server remote VNC gui now for more than 6 years. It seems to follow the UNIX model and focuses on doing this well. With my desktop Manjaro setup it was a nature choice. It also seems to be the preferred option on Manjaro. Some options XFCE environment apps worth considering:

  • Whisker Menu ⇒ to adjust the XFCE main menu

Some other applications that I use:

  • Qoppa PDF Studio Pro ⇒ A full propriety PDF program, Qoppa seems to be the only one that provides a Linux solution. Previously on Windows I preferred Foxit Pro, however they to not provide a Linux version.
  • Calibre - Book Library and reader software (I have been having some trouble with corruption of the database the past few months)

There is a standard software install for Conky in Manjaro. I adjusted my server configuration file to suit, sudo vim ~/.config/conky/conky.conf

conky.conf
