Overview

The Manjaro Settings Manager offers you a series of settings, which are either enabled by Manjaro (i.e. installation of multiple kernels) or are missing from at least some of popular Desktop Environments and Window Managers.

Manjaro Settings Manager is under development and might offer even more settings than illustrated on the left.

Language

The system language can be added, changed, and removed in this window.

If you want to different languages between X and kernel then you will have to edit your ~/.xprofile to include your desired settings.

Kernel

This window enables the user to easily manage and change all available kernels for Manjaro. Running and installed kernels can be easily identified. Read more on the Manjaro Kernels page.

Time and Date

Some Desktop Environments do not offer an easy way to edit time and date (i.e. XFCE). This window enables the user to do that.

This window offers an easy way install free/non-proprietary/open-source and non-free/proprietary/closed-source graphics card drivers by the click of a button.

If Manjaro did not install a wireless network card driver during installation, it can be installed here as well.

-==Take Note that this tutorial is meant for users who are using the NVIDIA Proprietary (non-free) drivers.==
-You can check what drivers you have installed with:
- inxi -G
-If you have the Nouveau driver you can install the proprietary NVIDIA driver.
-To install the non-free drivers; go to a terminal and write:
- sudo mhwd -a pci nonfree 0300
-Then reboot and your driver should be installed.

-. Open terminal and type 'sudo gedit ~/.xinitrc' (or 'sudo gedit /home/user_name/.xinitrc') -> replace gedit with text editor of choice.

-. Save and exit.
-==Summary:==
-There you go. This should (hopefully) solve those having issues with the NVIDIA non-free drivers for loading specific resolutions/refresh rates and X Screen settings on startup.

-= Troubleshooting =
+== Time and Date ==
-X Server failed to start after install and reboot
+[[File:Msm-time.jpg|thumb|left|375px]]
-If you restart your computer after the nvidia driver installation, and shows you that the X Server failed to start and the log shows you " modprobe: ERROR: could not insert nvidia : No such a device
+Some Desktop Environments do not offer an easy way to edit time and date (i.e. XFCE).
-then deinstall the nvidia driver with "sudo mhwd -r pci video-nvidia"    then reboot your computer
+This window enables the user to do that.
-back to your desktop open a terminal write in "sudo gedit /etc/mkinitcpio.conf delete the nouveau out of MODULES, MODULES=" nouveau" -> MODULES=""
-after that write in the terminal for kernel 3.10 "sudo mkinitcpio -p linux310"  for Kernel 3.11 "sudo mkinitcpio -p linux311"
-then install the nvidia driver "sudo mhwd -a pci nonfree 0300"  reboot and it should work ;)
