Manjaro does not have proper support of printers out of the box. It seems they are working continually to limit what they are doing to produce a distribution. What I mean is that they are refusing to do things such as enable and start services as you install applications. They are requiring you to do this even if you have no idea what to do (or that you have to do it) to make it work. For instance, in installing CUPS they should enable and start it. It is that simple, period. If they tell you that some people want to do it differently then let them. Let them back out of the automatic setup. They can then configure the startup of the service to do it their own way.…

My proxmox has many containers that must restart every time I reboot the host computer. Each is set to start on boot. There's one container that starts, yet not all the services start.

To keep the story short it looks like the cause is the boot time of the virtualized pfsense router. It took too much time for pfsense to start all the while the other…

Really rough draft. There are a number of issues and many have worked out various solutions, however no one has worked out that the smbpasswd has to be correct. sudo mount -t cifs -o username=xxx,password=yyy //jim@192.168.1.2 xxx sudo prompts for admin privs. mount is the command to execute. -t is parameter telling it to use cifs as the protocol, -o inputs the username and password and any other option. //jim@ip address (the address of the server), and xxx is the folder to mount it under. The key here is that you need to have the samba password correct also or it will generate that message. sudo smbpasswd -a jim Then give it the smbpassword and then repeat it to ensure that it is correctly typed. This is the password used…
