Problem:

You installed Arch Linux or Manjaro or any other Arch derivative but you didn’t install Grub2 on the MBR of your HDD as you already have Grub2 installed there and you want to control the boot process from already installed Grub2 instance but booting Arch or Manjaro via that Grub2 menu is ending in kernel panic.

Problem:

You have Manjaro with Xfce desktop environment installed and you want to turn numlock on by default so that you can use the number-pad on your keyboard at the login screen and after logging-in to Xfce desktop. This should have been the default behavior but sadly it’s not! Anyway, it’s an easy problem to fix. This solution is written for Manjaro but it should work on almost all Arch Linux based distributions and derivatives with LightDM display manager.

Problem:

You have openSUSE with Xfce desktop environment installed and you want to turn numlock on by default so that you can use the number-pad on your keyboard at the login screen and after logging-in to Xfce desktop. This should have been the default behavior but sadly it’s not! Anyway, it’s an easy problem to fix. This solution is written for openSUSE but it should work on almost all GNU/Linux distributions with Xfce desktop environment and LightDM display manager.

you may not believe it
but there are people
who go through life with
very little
friction or
distress.

Problem:

You want to mount certain partitions at custom mount points with specific file system options so you define all that in /etc/fstab file but after doing so you discover that Thunar file manager of XFCE doesn’t show those partitions! What’s wrong? How to make Thunar display those partitions?
