Well, I restarted the computer and there is still no lck file, but somehow pamac is able to run updates again…
I also have the parallel download set to 0 as this can cause issues too. Glad it’s working now.
Okay, I’ll set it to 0 too, since it is set to 4 atm.
IMO pamac is broken at the moment. My pamac shows updates and if I click apply it starts updating without asking for password, then it gets stuck @ checking inter-conflicts. rkill & reboot gets me out of that and pacman will work.
I don’t use pamac much at all but checking Lemons problem gave me my problem.
pacman and yay are the best
That’s the beauty of pacman and yay, they just work!
No issue here.
Well, it is broken for you. Not for me. I use pamac-aur-git in gui only, yay and pacman.
And everything simply work here.
Pamac did run okay again today.
I just ran Pamac this morning also and no problem.
I don’t want to hijack this thread, but I too had the issue described by @Lemon the first post. Updating works again after reinstalling pamac, but the “Browse” section is completely empty (saying “no package found”). Any idea on this?
Some hickups on pamac, most of the time restart pamac will help.
Hmmm…tried a couple of times but no solution.
As i had posted before i am not having any issue with it. I am using pamac-aur-git and you have to set up the preferences when you install it. I also mentioned to set parallel downloads to 0 from 4. Other than that i don’t know why you are having any issue. Update your mirrors and then sudo pacman -Syy and then try it after you have it installed and set up. I usually just use the welcome screen and update the mirrors because it’s easy and quick.
Could you please post the output from
sudo pacman -Q archlinux-appstream-data
[rick@xfce-pc ~]$ sudo pacman -Q archlinux-appstream-data
[sudo] password for rick:
archlinux-appstream-data 20200315-1
[rick@xfce-pc ~]$
Edit: I think this just updated today or yesterday i should say.
Thanks! I rolled back to a snapshot from 13.3. where pamac still worked. I get there
archlinux-appstream-data 20200103-1
After upgrading I have same version as you, but when starting pamac-manager from terminal I get the error message
** (process:9030): WARNING **: 19:10:31.331: database.vala:105: Failed to parse /usr/share/app-info/xmls/community.xml.gz file: Error on line 51025 char 10: <p> already set '

Do you get an error message when starting from terminal?
It opens pamac and i get the same message.
If you rolled back a snapshot i think if you update you should be good.
Edit: I would just update the mirrors and then sync them first.
Hmm…still nothing. Is there any log file for pamac?
Not that i know of off hand. You can look at the Pamac info here.
