There is something called GSmartControl on the usb but I’m not sure how to use it.
On Gparted there is some device information but I can not copy it. It gives the model and serial, says path, heads, cylinders, sectors.
the logs look ok, it says that the smart status passed…
in gparted select the partition and then check in the options at the top under gparted/view/edit/partition … etc… somewhere there should be a smart status…
I only see Gparted Edit View Device Partition Help . I searched for SMART under Help but no results.
it should be under one of those menus, did you checked them all?
did you selected the manjaro partition before that?
right click on the selected partition, and see if its there…
but this is not really needed, since it passed…
just reinstall manajro, and back up your data first…
Yes, it is /dev/`nvme0n1p2 the manajro partition. When I right-clicked on the partition, I saw no Smart option.
But when you say reinstall manjaro, do you mean erase the disk from the live usb?
it will erase it automatically when you proceed with the installation… just back up your files first and reinstall it
you dont format/erase the whole disk, only the manjaro partition!
About what? It doesn’t help if you say I’m mistaken, but don’t give what about.
Sure, ClamAV works on and for scanning Linux. But as Wikipedia states:
One of its main uses is on mail servers as a server-side email virus scanner.
…which has mainly Windows users, so virus’ as well. I have it installed, personally, but I only installed it out of curiosity.
As I have learn here, on the Forum, ClamAV is useful if you wish to scan a Windows partition for Windows virus’. @Aragorn can you please confirm if I’m correct?
And I don’t know about any Linux malware, never mind malware scanner…
yes, also i only installed it out of curiosity. And yes, mainly windows viruses exist and spread, but it does not mean Linux is immune to viruses. The question how efficient it is towards find actual spreading Linux viruses is completely open, maybe it really works best as preventing spread of windows viruses in servers that deal with that like mail, unencrypted file storage etc.
Instead of worrying about viruses, what Linux needs is some kind of “antivirus” that protects against trojans etc. “user errors” and only way to achieve that is some kind of background daemon that is hooked in at a very low level and monitors all other applications.
You can protect against them, up to a point. Because the moment you make something idiot-proof, the universe comes along and creates a better idiot.

i was just making a distinction between virus “spreads by itself” and trojan “user is tricked to start it”
this distinction is important, because otherwise people might come to think running rm -rf / is a virus.
Yeah, I know. My point about protection up to a point still stands, though. In fact, you’ve actually confirmed it with that statement.
Once again:
I am not certain about your communication style, or my understanding of it. But i have to mention how funny your last message looks
Once again:
Mirdarthos
a better idiot.
If that’s what I wanted to say, I’d have said:
“you’re an idiot.”
<coughs> if the shoe fits, though </cough>
What I meant was
About people in general.
Not everything is about you, Karen.
Hi brahma,
I have completely reinstalled but I erased the whole disk, not just the partition. Is that problematic?
After updating, I am being prompted to install the 6.1. 22. kernel. I have currently the 5.15 kernel only on the freshly reinstalled system.
no its not problematic … hopefully you did back up your files…
it prompts you to install latest stable kernel which is 6.1, but you can keep using the 5.15… however it would be good if you would have 2 kernels, one that you use and another as a backup, so go ahead and install it
Wow. I am incredibly grateful for how patiently you worked with me, sharing your expertise for me to get my problem solved. Brilliant, thank you so much.
I think it’s almost solved. Just two more issues:
-
How do I stick to the 5.15 when manjaro prompts updates? I want to use 5.15 LTS permanently and install the 6 to keep, just like you said. Whenever I see new package updates available, I go
sudo pacman -Syubut how to ignore new kernel updates and close the notification, while installing all other packages? -
I’m still having difficulty with deleting unwanted posts. When I click the trash can icon, is the post meant to delete instantaneously or do i have to wait?
Other than that, PC seems working fine now. I will have to still install the kernel, but hopefully it will all be good from now on. Thanks again!
Manjaro supports multiple kernels, ass you know. a Kernel won’t be automagically deleted with an update. Rather, it’ll update the same version between bug fixes. But you have to remove it yourself.
When a kernel reaches EOL (E nd O f L ife) it stops updating and you need to install a newer, supported one.
When updating, read the Announcements for the update, preferably before the update, and apply as necessarey to your setup,
AFAIK, I don’t delete many posts, you don’t have to do anything else. But it also doesn’t get removes instantly AFAIK.

Just to add since your new to linux and Manjaro learn and use pamac.Pamac works very well and is made for Manjaro which works great for lazy people like me.
