firewall might be installed, but it is not enabled by default - because not everyone has use for it and a user should know what services he/she needs to have
What are you missing
of which you positively know it should be there?
… you can’t go by “feelings” 
and:
you only listed running services in your first post
fsck service, for instance, will not be constantly running
Did you try an install with another ISO? As pointed it can happen a bad ISO is released, maybe retry again with a slightly older ISO, or a newer one if there is one.
As there are automated process building the ISO it is possible you just installed a bad ISO. Its OK if you want to troubleshoot your new install but, as it is a new install, I would reinstall because what you describe on first boot is not a sign that “every thing went normal”.
You got my point I feeling this is not right and not enough to run only this few things as It was always hundreds of lines, but now it is 6 or 7 lines with OK tag and then the LightDm starts!!!
But you didn’t get my point:
you can’t go by feelings.
What is missing that you would expect to be there?
… a firewall in an example of something that is, and should remain, a users choice
it isn’t active by default - if it is even installed.
see also what @omano just said - further up I linked to another thread discussing this very issue
you are taking my words literally take the it as whole !! like it should not be just 6 or 7 lines loading it should be more!!
perhaps - but still and again:
What is missing that should be there?
I just read the other thread, I would recommend to install the ISO Oberon suggested.
See if you have issues there, then just update the system, problem(s) solved.
Thank you downloading the ISO now, but is thier any script that I can run to verfy what is missing and what should be running and fix that?
No I don’t think so.
You can (and probably should) verify the integrity of the iso you downloaded.
Then, what you get is a system as it was intended by the person who put together the software that this edition will install by default.
You can always change that later - you don’t have to live with the defaults.
the ISo was running as it should but the installed version from it was not!!
indeed - the display manager didn’t start by default
It was an error and was corrected with the new iso which you are now downloading, as you say.
Everything else is still your feelings - which you somehow cannot substantiate.
… let’s leave it at that and see what happens when you install from the corrected iso
I was really hoping for script or some program to run because this is now my current everyday PC as my cori7 is acquired by my son 
he left me with the old PC and took the new PC for gaming and his University stuff and let me with the old.
so I started to install all the software I need after fixing the lightdm and the network issue
the PC is working fine I am writing this from it now but still feels it should be fixed!
This should help in identifying what you have changed since you first installed
and also to create a list of those packages
that you can feed to pacman, to install everything you had
again in the new system
with just one single command.
It’s all the same page - just linked to different sections in it:
Your custom configurations to files in /etc … you’ll have to track those yourself.
Just make a copy of /etc and later refer to it when you have installed again what you need.
can you consider providing us with script , I think the post installation script can be modified to trigger the enabling the services the one which you normally use ! it should be like chroot systemctl enable XXXX
chroot systemctl start XXX
if you understand what I mean!!
sure:
for service in 'avahi-daemon' 'bluetooth' 'cronie' 'ModemManager' 'NetworkManager' 'cups' 'tlp' 'haveged' 'ufw' 'apparmor' 'snapd.apparmor' 'snapd' 'fstrim.timer' 'pkgfile-update.timer'; do
echo "enabling $service"
sudo systemctl enable $service
echo "starting $service"
sudo systemctl start $service
done
thank you trying now
this works
marking solved
