Need assistance to reinstall all packages on Manjaro-Arm-Gnome

ARM Technical Assistance
1

Hi,

Need assistance to reinstall all packages on Manjaro-Arm-Gnome, I suppose.

GT King Pro. During “sudo pacman -Syu --ignore=boot-vim3”, system froze/kernel panic. The reason for --ignore=boot-vim3 is because according to @spikerguy the new boot-vim3 will render GT King Pro not bootable (kernel panic during booting process).

Fortunately was able to restart but could not resume “sudo pacman -Syu --ignore=boot-vime”:

sudo pacman -Syu --ignore=boot-vim3
:: Synchronizing package databases...
error: failed to synchronize all databases (unable to lock database)

To resolve this “unable to lock database” issue:


`sudo rm /var/lib/pacman/db.lck`

After this command “sudo pacman -Syu --ignore=boot-vim3” proceeded to upgrade successfully.

 jflim@mnjro-gtkpro   

After Restart, Manjaro-Arm-Gnome is not functioning properly. Apps do not launch, example:


jflim@mnjro-gtkpro    glxinfo -B
bash: glxinfo: command not found
   jflim@mnjro-gtkpro    firefox
Bus error (core dumped)

Eventhough firefox and mesa-demo are installed. Chromium launch but app is slow with NO hardware acceleration at all.

How to redo the complete Update/Upgrade again to Arm-Stable-Update-2021-12-13? Assistance is much appreciated. Thanks.

That’s because glxinfo has switched to another package called mesa-utils.

Thanks for the info, but firefox cannot launch from activities or from terminal. LibreOffice is installed but does NOT show up on Launcher or Application Menu, nowhere to be found.

So the system is not functioning properly. How to rectify this?

Installed mesa-utils using Add/Remove Software GUI and Panfrost is not activated.

Tried these commands to reinstall all packages:


jflim@mnjro-gtkpro    pacman -Qn > gnomelist
 jflim@mnjro-gtkpro    sudo pacman --force --asdeps -S gnomelist
[sudo] password for jflim: 
error: invalid option '--force'

But it does work.

Edit:


sudo pacman --asdeps -S $(< gnomelist)

Also did not work.

without understanding, do not execute commands retrieved from the web! this is a very good way to make things worse
No interest to create a list to inject exactly the same !!!
Moreover this command generates an invalid list!

Exists sudo pacman -Qk for check local packages

at you to create files and re-install this package (with -D is enough)

sudo touch /var/lib/pacman/local/libreoffice-fresh-7.2.4-1/{desc,files,mtree}

Thanks for the advice.

Tried to reinstall libreoffice using Add/Remove Software GUI also resulted in same not able to launch libreoffice.

Basically the system is not functioning properly that is why I thought of having to reinstall all the packages not just libreoffice and firefox not launching.
