solving a start job is running for create volatile files and directories : manjaro linux

I have used Manjaro Linux which is Arch Linux based system for several month. Manjaro using roling system update, so we don't need to install new distribution to use latest version. We only need to upgrade through update manager.

After several times I used roling update then I restart my system boot time take long time, and plymouth like freeze. When I press escape to view error message on boot time. I got this message.

a start job is running for create volatile files and directories

 I search internet but I got nothing to solve my problems, then I try to view my manjaro setting then I take look on kernel section, I know that my kernel is need to be upgrade. Manjaro system will notif recommended kernel version for installed system if newer kernel exist.

 

Install Recommended kernel from kernel section, after installation finish I restart my system and  it's like a magic all error message and boot time back to normal :).

Manjaro XFCE Post Installation Tips and Tricks

To read original article go to here.

It's nearly a year since my last post, a lot of things had happened in between, Placement preparation, couple of interviews, six month internship in Blackberry Platform at Payoda Technologies  and finally completion of my studies. During this period a lot of distros had been released but I stayed with the stable Opensuse, but then I felt KDE version of opensuse is little bit heavy, which can be felt during both start-up and during normal day to day usage(say Eclipse+amarok+chrome) even with 4GB RAM and i3 Processor.

I started my quest for "The best GNU/Linux OS" with distrowatch.com. Since I wanted a lighter distro but not certainly like Puppy/Tiny and no Ubuntu/Debian forks then by default I left with Arch. But the fear of  two earlier failed attempts to install Arch forced me to try arch fork than arch. Seeing Manjaro  Linux description "Manjaro Linux is a desktop-oriented, user-friendly distribution based on Arch Linux" , I thought I would give it a try. Downloaded and Installed manjaro-xfce-0.8.5.1-x86_64 from Manjaro site.

The first thing I noticed with Manjaro is, it's fast start-up and shutdown time, it is comparatively faster than opensuse. Here are the some of tricks which I had done to achieve what's in their description user-friendly distribution. NOTE: No Graphics driver installation tips are given because author himself followed the steps listed in Beginner's guide and finally ended with blank screen even though he only have Intel's Integrated graphics card. 

Manjaro Linux: Arch For People Who Don’t Have Time

I am manjaro Linux user, and want to share how arch linux based system transform into friendly distro for end user.

This article originaly from make use of site.

There are plenty of things that make Arch Linux highly appealing to users: it’s always up-to-date, it’s a rolling release, and there’s tons of software available for it in its repositories. But what isn’t so appealing is the learning curve and pure difficulty of setting up an Arch system. If you want the best aspects of Arch, without the bad parts, you need Manjaro Linux.

About Manjaro Linux

Manjaro Linux is an Arch-based distribution, meaning that it runs on the same backbone and the same repositories as Arch itself. It also implements the rolling release upgrade model, meaning that you never have to perform a major upgrade from “release 1″ to “release 2″ – just update your packages and you’ll be up-to-date.

However, unlike Arch, it doesn’t require that users build up systems on their own. This isn’t to say that setting up the Arch way is a bad thing, or that it’s too difficult – there’s plenty of documentation for the job. But some people simply don’t have the time, regardless of their skill level.
There’s a lot of fuss among Arch users whether they should support Manjaro, and while some believe that it goes against everything Arch stands for, I think it’s a good option for those who want it.
Also unlike Arch, there are some defaults when it comes to the included software. For example, Manjaro defaults to the Xfce desktop environment (which is lightweight and awesome), although official Openbox,(a very minimal desktop environment), and KDE (a desktop environment with lots of eye candy) versions are available as well. Other desktop environments, such as Gnome, are available as “Community Editions”.

Don’t Fear the Beta!

Technically speaking, Manjaro is still a beta distribution – its version sits at 0.8.9 at time of writing. This shouldn’t push away any potential users. The main reason why Manjaro is still considered a beta distribution is because of the Manjaro additions to the otherwise stable Arch packages that are installed. Things like the Manjaro installer and the Pacman (package manager) graphical frontend are still beta, but everything else that is on the system are stable versions of the software that Arch offers in its repositories.
