Stay safe

This is a collection of options you have to operate your manjaro safely. This is about events that can happen to every Linux user. Please do not underestimate the relevant risks and warnings. You can easily start a search in the Manjaro forum for each of the following points. Then you will get an overview of what the current status is at each point.

Hardware

Hardware tends to break from time to time ;-) . This most often happens shortly after installation (< 1 month) or after the end of the average lifespan (e.g. > 5 years).

hdd / ssd

Please remember that every hard drive/SSD will fail at some point and be prepared. Sometimes the data can still be read (then it's time for a final backup). But you can't rely on that.

Power supply

You can simply replace a broken power supply with a new one. If you were very unlucky, the old power supply may have damaged other things like your motherboard or hard drives when it died. But that rarely happens.

Motherboard

If you need to replace your motherboard, be aware that the new one usually won't boot right away. There is UEFI in the motherboard. This contains the configuration of the way you used to boot. With the replacement, this is missing from the new UEFI.

In the simplest case it is enough to go to the UEFI boot selection. Your UEFI will then search for a suitable UEFI partition. And ideally finds the boot entry for the grub of manjaro.

What you will need

extern backup

live manjaro

You need a CD/DVD or USB to boot from. This should be a current version of manjaro. (in no case older than 6 months) The desktop does not have to be the same as your usual desktop. For example, the version with XFCE (fast and robust) is well suited.

What you could do this way:

  • Boot into a Manjaro without changing the internal HDD or SSD
  • If possible, make an additional backup of certain “latest” data
  • Determine the real problem using guidance from the wiki/forum
  • Fix the problem using instructions from the wiki/forum
  • Roll back
  • Perform a reinstallation
  • Import your backups

Software

Als rolling release wird die Software von manjaro regelmäßig erneuert. Dazu braucht man genug Platz im Dateisystem, und eine Möglichkeit zum rollback falls was katastrophal schiefgeht.

Update

Beim Updaten treten umso weniger Probleme auf, je näher du dran bleibst. Aber das bedeutet nicht nur die Updates einzuspielen, sondern auch vorher den entsprechenden Thread zu lesen. Nach dem Update die notwendigen Wartungsarbeiten durchzuführen. Dann sollte auf jeden Fall ein reboot folgen.

  • Update-Thread lesen

Wenn der Thred nur wenige stunden alt ist, warte lieber etwas. Ein Update in den ersten 24 Stunden ist nur was für Leute die sich selbst helfen können ;-)

  • Überlegen ob eines der geschilderten Probleme bei dir auftreten können

Wenn ja, ist meist ein Link mit Hinweisen angegeben, was du machen sollst. Bitte lies das gründlich durch. Dann handle entsprechend. Das wird dir eine Menge Probleme ersparen.

  • Mach das Update auf der console (tty)

Die GUIs sind schön und gut, aber es gibt Update-Situationen in denen die GUI einfrieren könnte. Das ist der erste Schritt zum Disaster.

  • Nachdem das Update durchgelaufen ist, schau nochmal ob irgendwelche Errors oder Warnings zu sehen sind

Wenn ja, lies die Meldung, und schau ob darin eine Handlungsempfehlung steht. Wenn ja, handle Wenn du dir unsicher bist, kopier die Warnung und frag im Manjaro-forum nach (bevor du weitermachst)

  • Wenn du Ängstlich bist, prüfe ob die notwendigen Dateien zum booten da sind.
 * kernel 
 * initrd
 * module
 (oder nutzde maxi um dir das anzeigen zu lassen)
