pacman -Qem               # List all installed packages from the AUR
pactree package_name      # View package dependencies
pacman -Rdd package_name  # Forcefully remove a dependency without removing any other package

Deepin auto start applications

REF: https://forum.manjaro.org/t/deepin-auto-start-applications/44027

Open launcher (lists all applications sort of like the Start buttone on Windows). Right button click on icon of app to autostart and select 'Add to startup'

Fix checksum error with AUS package download

/var/tmp/pamac-build- has directory for each downloaded package. is a userid having the issue (i.e. /var/tmp/pamac-build-kurtis/).

Removing the directory of the package fixed the problem.

Installing shutter needs additional AUR package

REF: https://forum.manjaro.org/t/shutter-screenshot-tool-missing-editor-libgoocanvas2-perl-missing/49835

Make sure the Software manager tool is enabled for AUR packages (see app settings). The editor that shutter uses is in the AUR repo. Install the package perl-goo-canvas and the shutter editor should now work.
