Lots of applications refuse to start (VLC, SSR, Graphical software management Network manager...)

  1. Never run pamac as root: it has its own built-in authentication. (This specific command is no biggie though :sweat_smile: )

  2. Does this also happen when you create a new user and log in there? (E.G. najib2)

  3. If that doesn’t ā€œsolveā€ the problem, Please read this:
    [HowTo] Provide System Information
    and post some more information so we can see what’s really going on. Now we know the symptom of the disease, but we need some more probing to know where the origin lies…

  4. An inxi --admin --verbosity=7 --filter --no-host --width would be the minimum required information… (Personally Identifiable Information like serial numbers and MAC addresses will be filtered out by the above command)
    Also, please copy-paste that output in-between 3 backticks ``` at the beginning and end of the code/text.
