Failed to read AUR data from

[ZaeNae]

I wanted to install the cpupower-gui application.
I opened the graphical package manager and tried to do that. The manager couldn’t find that.

So, I enabled the AUR. Maybe have more luck. The manager couldn’t find that.

I issued the pamac command and I got this result:

sudo pamac install cpupower-gui
[sudo] password for user: 
** Message: 14:44:07.305: aur_plugin.vala:332: downloading AUR data

Error: target not found: cpupower-gui

How should fix this?

How should fix this?

Try again …

Just rmember - AUR is unsupported and discouraged when using stable branch.

After five trying the result still remains the same.
Maybe, later (after one or more months) it will be successful.

Disable AUR in the GUI.

If you need anything from AUR use the Arch way

sudo pamac install cpupower-gui

Do not use sudo with pamac, as it will mess with file permissions. The correct command is pamac build cpupower-gui.

pamac build cpupower-gui

I tried your proposal, here is the result:

pamac build cpupower-gui

Something went wrong, I guess.

Something went wrong, I guess.

Incorrect permissions caused by using sudo with pamac. Have a read through the following thread & you should find the answer:

Failed to read AUR data from /var/tmp/pamac/packages-meta-ext-v1.json.gz

Everytime I run pamac upgrade --aur --force-refresh I get the following two messages: pamac upgrade --aur --force-refresh Preparing... ==== AUTHENTICATING FOR org.manjaro.pamac.commit ==== Authentication is required to install, update, or remove packages Multiple identities can be used for authentication: 1. Medin (medin) 2. Med (med) Choose identity to authenticate…

Thanks that lead me to the solution.

sudo rm -rf /var/tmp/pamac

And using pmac without sudo. These two gave the good result.
Thanks for the help.
