I might be not well to describe multiple issues in one topic, but I need advice on what to do in some context. In January I bought a new laptop and decided to install Manjaro on it, since my last laptop was working very well on it. Initially after installation, everything seemed to work fine, but I…

[image] Rayko: Thank you, I managed to get into the grub menu. It seems that the main reason for it disappearing was that the update I had overwrote the menu style as “hidden” and somehow erased Windows 10 from the list, leaving Manjaro the only OS there. Nasty. Everyone got this problem now,…

[image] Rayko: Kernel: 5.11.2-1-MANJARO When you run a rolling release like Manjaro, Kernel Management becomes a thing. So if you want to be on the cutting edge, keep trying new kernels, filing bugs, … and stay on 5.11, 5.12, … but if you want stability choose any LTS (Long Time Support) kern…

Make sure to set up Timeshift so you can roll back updates if things go wrong.

I respectfully disagree with TimeShift all by itself,because of this: [image] [HowTo] make a crash-proof backup in Manjaro for your entire system Tutorials Difficulty: ★★☆☆☆ If you follow the tutorial completely, you will be able to create a backup of your entire syste…

I skipped through the last two paragraphs and didn’t notice the OP already stated that Timeshift was set up.

I agree about the kernels. Even though I have an older laptop, I always try new kernels, but always keep an LTS as a backup.

I don’t see any reason in your quote for that, why should’nt we use timeshift for backup? I never had to restore my System yet, but i use regular backups on my external HDD. If i had a system crash or virus (viruses are really rare on Linux anyways, if we don’t use Windows Emulations like wine, ri…

I have an issue with grub as well.

[image] Kobold: why should’nt we use timeshift for backup I never said that. I said: [image] Fabby: I respectfully disagree with TimeShift all by itself You can use TimeShift for warm backups, but need something else for cold backups. Read the entire tutorial and skip anything borg …

I would like to look into this, however I have a problem. After the latest update the system simply does not show me the GRUB screen, and so I cannot change the active kernel. It boots me directly into Manjaro, even though I have a Windows installation as well. GRUB itself seems to be fine, since I…

[image] Rayko: After the latest update the system simply does not show me the GRUB screen, and so I cannot change the active kernel. Press Shift while booting to get around this temporarily and read the crash proof tutorial as one of the things it contains is to show the GRUB menu in item #5 …

Updates keep destabilizing the system
