I run Manjaro xfce off a micro SD card (I started with Preview 3 and keep the packages up to date). I decided to keep Manjaro as my secondary OS as the kernel is rock-stable and userland is 64bit. I started to set it up and feel I'm in the dark Linux ages, again:
- I don't find a GUI setting to turn off the screen after some idle time. All GUI settings just turn the screen black, but not off. Currently, I use xset to manually turn off the screen, e.g.
$ xset dpms force off
- When I ssh -Y into another machine and start emacs remotely, no single font is found. I then installed the 75dpi and 100dpi fonts and needed to manually set +fp /usr/share/fonts/75dpi/ and set +fp /usr/share/fonts/100dpi/. I can't remember the last time I needed to deal with fonts. Shouldn't the fp paths be set automatically by the package manager?
- Manjaro is a rolling release distribution. Some software seems to roll faster than other:
$ /usr/bin/xfce4-screensaver
/usr/bin/xfce4-screensaver: error while loading shared libraries: libxfconf-0.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
The more recent version libxfconf-0.so.3 version is installed. Both seem to be compatible and a soft link fixes the problem
# ln -s /usr/lib/libxfconf-0.so.3.0.0 /usr/lib/libxfconf-0.so.2
- Similar problem with tumblerd (log from systemd journal). Why aren't dependencies automatically installed?
