![]() ![]() And here is where my lack of knowledge of the “behind the scenes” stuff comes in. The problem is that I don’t know which or those 154 updates is the problem. But now all 154 updates had been rolled back also. So I rebooted into Manjaro again and used Timeshift to restore Manjaro to a time before the updates and the data drive was accessible again. At first I worried that I had inadvertently erased that drive, but when I rebooted into Windows, I could access all the data from Windows without problem. After I had installed them all and rebooted (as required for some of the updates to take effect), I found that my Data HDD could not be mounted, so I couldn’t access any of my documents. Yesterday, I installed them all at once using the Pamac GUI system (a.k.a “Add/Remove Software”). My current problem is this: I currently have 154 updates waiting to be instlled. (You can probably tell that I’m not a very sophisticated user and don’t really understand the “behind-the-scenes” working of Linux or Manjaro particularly well.) Very occasionally, one of those updates “breaks” the system and I use Timeshift to roll the system back to a time before the update and simply don’t install that update for a week or two, and then things are usually OK - or sometimes if the offender is software I rarely use and don’t really need, I just uninstall that software. I keep my Manjaro rolling release up-to-date generally by installing software updates as they come in, one or two updates on most days, occasionally more than 100 at a time. This arrangement has been working well for me. The Data drive is formatted NTFS so that it can be accessed from Windows as well as each of the Linux installations. My Asus desktop computer has two internal drives, a SSD with a number of partitions containing only the operating systems and their software installations, and a 2 tb HDD called “Data” on which I keep all my data/documents. ![]() I have a multi–boot PC with Windows, Manjaro and a few other Linux distros, but Manjaro KDE has been my main OS for 4 or 5 years. ![]()
