Greetings lovely community, Just a quick question I was wondering if there’s been any updates to this issue with Pamac-aur not displaying anything on startup. Ideally it should show up with something like a curated applications list or something like that, however instead I’m greeted with an empty screen. I’ll post some screenshots below for reference. I currently use Pamac-aur v10.1.3-1. I don’t know if perhaps this bug was/is fixed on one of the other versions (i.e. pamac-all, pamac-classic, etc)? There was another post about this topic a year ago here: [How to fix pamac-aur / pamac-aur-git empty list on start](https://forum.endeavouros.com/t/how-to-fix-pamac-aur-pamac-aur-git-empty-list-on-start/3938/1) Since that was from over a year ago, and being on a fresh install the issue is still occurring on my end. So I was wondering if there’s any recent fixes or something I could do that might have changed since that original post? I noticed when I search for “archlinux-appstream-data” I do get two results. I have archlinux-appstream-data (from Extra repo) already installed on my system. There is however another version in the AUR “archlinux-appstream-data-pamac”, which it’s description states: ‘Arch Linux application database for AppStream-based software centers (Fixed for pamac-aur and pamac-all packages)’ I’m not sure of all the possible fixes to this bug issue, but perhaps I could also install the archlinux-appstream-data-pamac file as well or would the two versions conflict each other? I know Pamac is not the ideal program to use, I use the terminal most of the time, but I do like to use Pamac when searching for things or occasionally seeing what updates just came out. If anyone could point me in the direction of a solution I’d greatly appreciate it! ![Screenshot from 2021-07-26 17-21-35](https://forum.endeavouros.com/uploads/default/original/3X/f/9/f9b51a3719911f3ce2af02ae426645820db99550.png) ![Screenshot from 2021-07-26 17-34-12](https://forum.endeavouros.com/uploads/default/original/3X/1/d/1dc403b72213fc0e2c9dc522d2ebf14c1518b23d.png) ![Screenshot from 2021-07-26 17-23-13](https://forum.endeavouros.com/uploads/default/original/3X/2/f/2f87b835a899c175a7eb9b98cf85fa4732d5fdd4.png) ---

You do want to install `archlinux-appstream-data-pamac` for pamac. I think it will automatically remove the other which is fine. ---

It will remove the previous one providing the needed fix. I’m the creator of this PKGBUILD. ---

You are very correct. I installed `archlinux-appstream-data-pamac` and it automatically removed the other one. Restarted Pamac-aur and now it shows up just like it should! Odd that I didn’t have the correct appstream file installed in the first place, but luckily it was a simple enough solution! So now everything looks like it should thank you for your help @dalto ![Screenshot from 2021-07-26 18-04-05](https://forum.endeavouros.com/uploads/default/original/3X/0/8/080a19c7e80e9e2000960c44c2f8e7e1ebfc4728.png) Ah greetings @FredBezies thank you very much for making this available in the AUR! It would have ever so slowly bothered me to no end otherwise hehe 😛 ---

It would have ever so slowly bothered me to no end otherwise hehe 😛 Here are the pamac related packages I’m keeping in life: - libpamac: [https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/libpamac/](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/libpamac/) - libpamac-full: [https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/libpamac-full/](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/libpamac-full/) (with support for snap and flatpak) - pamac-all: [https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pamac-all/](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pamac-all/) (with support for snap and flatpak) - pamac-all-git: [https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pamac-all-git/](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pamac-all-git/) (same as above, but development version) - pamac-aur-git: [https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pamac-aur-git/](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pamac-aur-git/) (same as pamac-aur, but development version) - archlinux-appstream-data: [https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/archlinux-appstream-data-pamac/](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/archlinux-appstream-data-pamac/) (with fixes for missing icons). That’s it. ---

I’d be shocked if you told me you don’t even use Pamac! But good on you for making these available for everyone that it helps, I for one am grateful for your time and efforts. Do keep up the great work 🙂 ---

@FredBezies . Hi! I’ve got a working Pamac on my main desktop which I did by modding the build files and that’s fine. My question is: I recently did a fresh install of EndeavourOS/Xfce on a laptop without Pamac. If I wish to install a working Pamac with AUR support which version should I install with no mods or the least mods to the build? ---

Hello. The least modded version is either pamac-aur or pamac-aur-git. Others add flatpak and snap support. ---

So this is working now after all the breakages? I always update using the CLI but Pamac is such a useful tool to look things up. If the Manjaro dev has fixed it and released it (via you) to the AUR then it’s a great thing to have. If it’s not able to deal with current updates then I can’t use it. Apologies if I’m missing some obvious things here. I appreciate the work you put in to make this project work for everyone. ---

pamac should be working again now. ---

@dalto @Kresimir thank you for the replies. I shall look into it again. My patience is a bit thin at the moment. I have Covid symptoms despite having been double vaccinated before. Nothing major but feeling very rough. I will fight it. Endeavour wins! 💜 ---
