Installing Manjaro on my main box

[viking60]

I noticed that my clock was way off so I decided to use ntp.
This will sync my pc with those superduper atom driven error-free clocks.

I edited /etc/ntp.conf so this section looked like this:

Code: Select all

# Associate to public NTP pool servers; see http://www.pool.ntp.org/
server 0.pool.ntp.org iburst
server 1.pool.ntp.org iburst
server 2.pool.ntp.org iburst

And I left the rest as is.

Now it was time to sync my clock once with:

Code: Select all

ntpd -qg

Uh? And that did not change anything - but berserks don't give up.

So I started the daemon:

Code: Select all

sudo systemctl start ntpd

and voila my clock poped right into the right time which had been several hours off
Time then to make it work on every boot with:

Code: Select all

sudo systemctl enable ntpd

This Manjaro install is getting so perfect now that it is almost boring....
So far I have successfully set up:

A lamp server with integrated phpmyadmin
SSH connection and network folders with keys and no passwords - (dead secure)
Syncing of the clock with timeservers
Transferring all my critical data from the old install including Windows in Virtualbox
Transferred my mail data and setup.
Installed Openbox and KDE in addition to XFCE
Set up my network printer with cups

My Manjaro desktop Openbox looks like this by now:
Cluttered edition and (almost) Clean edition

Needed to set up my Github again

After having thought my Manjaro Openbox was perfect - I noticed that my USB dongles did not automount in Openbox as they did in XFCE and KDE.

So I had to install udiskie

Code: Select all

pacman -S udiskie

and add

Code: Select all

udiskie &

at the end of my
~/.config/openbox/autostart
file
After that everything auto-mounts just perfectly

Let's see... a five-page thread that lasted how long to install this thing?

I'm sorry, I really don't have that kind of time. Sticking with Mageia, until something better comes along.

Installing it is fast but adjusting it can go on forever like with any DE. And I did successfully transfer all my old data too.
I Just set the window snap functionality - both with mouse and keys in Xfce.
Xfce is a good DE.
