Pamac-manager error: flushing display: Broken pipe

Hello,

pamac-manager not working. When running from command line the following error appears:

Error flushing display: Broken pipe

Any ideas?

[EDIT]
Before this error there’s a warning saying:

Unknown key gtk-modules in /home/myuser/.config/gtk-4.0/settings.ini

This is the contents of this file:

[Settings]
gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme=false
gtk-cursor-theme-name=breeze_cursors
gtk-cursor-theme-size=24
gtk-decoration-layout=icon:minimize,maximize,close
gtk-enable-animations=true
gtk-font-name=Noto Sans,  10
gtk-icon-theme-name=breeze
gtk-modules=colorreload-gtk-module:window-decorations-gtk-module
gtk-primary-button-warps-slider=true
gtk-sound-theme-name=ocean
gtk-xft-dpi=122880

TIA

I don’t think this will help with pamac, but I have

gtk-modules=colorreload-gtk-module

in settings.ini.

Anyway, pamac was designed for Manjaro and may cause problems in other systems.

Instead, I’d recommend using the traditional command line tools: pacman for native packages, and yay for AUR packages.

I use octopi instead and it works OK, but pamac is still my preffered package manager. It worked right after install, but stopped working after I installed something else, not sure what.

You can look at file /var/log/pacman.log to see what you have installed lately, maybe that gives a clue.

OK, it’s some kind of permission problem. Using:

sudo pamac-manager

seems to work fine. Sort of a solution, I guess. Thanks all.
