The reason I ask is because the only AUR package I am using is MullvadVPN, and it never shows up in the Pamac Gui.
This isn’t a show stopper, as the Pamac Tray still tells me when there is an update, and I can easily update MullvadVPN via the CLI, but it is a problem for others, who don’t understand using the CLI… I end up doing the update.
No, “the Pamac AUR issue” is not still a thing–especially if you can’t tell us what the issue is you’re referring to.
Of course it does. You’re doing something wrong.
Do I really have to reference this? C’mon, you’ve been around long enough…
Please see:
I wonder what that might be, other than enabling the AUR?
Let me see…
I have AUR enabled, and check for AUR updates enabled.
A search for anything mullvad, returns Mullvad Browser, which is a Flatpak.
What else do you suggest?
I just did a search for mullvad in Pamac (gtk3) & got the following results:
That tells me you don’t actually…

…have AUR enabled
Mmmm interesting.
Is there anything else I should be doing?

Mmmm interesting.
Is your Pamac (GUI) GTK4 or GTK3 offering? This may be unrelated, but I noticed a few apparent issues of late, with respect the former.
Thread cleaned.
Carry on and be excellent to each other.

Well, that was annoying.
For the first time since I joined this forum, I had to hit the “Ignore” button on another member’s profile.

Likely not relevant then. Cheers.
I’ve never needed a button for that.
Actually, I hadn’t noticed anything particularly ignore-worthy in the thread – What did I miss?

Unrelated, but you might want to enable the last toggle switch. IMHO better suited name would be “Check for VCS packages updates”.
Is this another instance of Software Mode
confusion? I just noticed that if I turn on Software Mode
, all of my mullvad
search results disappear.

That’s the problem. Fixed, sort of.
Is that a Bug, that I need to report?
I noticed, also that pamac which was not listed, when I was in Software-Mode, is now also listed again.
I remember now, turning Software Mode on, to see what it did, and nothing seemed to actually change, then I forgot to turn it off again.
I guess I was.
Takakage:
Software Mode
confusion
I admit being confused by software mode – it seems counter-intuitive: When activated, it seems to allow installs only from standard Arch repo’s; and when not activated, all configured sources are available.
Either way, software is still installed.
Perhaps renaming it to “Official Sources” and “All Sources”, respectively; could help with the apparent ambiguity.

Thats not what it is either.
The idea is to only offer ‘applications’ like firefox
, etc, instead of things like libcurl
.
Though how it does that and how effective it is are other topics.
