Hello to you,
I would like to give Manjaro Cinnamon to my neighbor. I added this as a user and deleted myself. I selected an admin account via the manjaro settings and assigned the same groups that I had. Still, he doesn’t seem to have the right rights. What can I do about that?
Here when entering “pamac update”

Ah, then I might assume its an ongoing issue with pamac.
I dont use pamac … so its not something I run into … but given some of the reports, I might even believe it simply becomes owned by the first user making no consideration for other users.
To complete it again: I also assigned the “Wheel” group. Another problem occurred that obviously the keyboard no longer worked through the user change. Suddenly several keys had different functions and I couldn’t do anything about it. As a result, I reinstalled the operating system, here XFCE, and everything has now worked.
Thank you again for your information and help, which I always like to accept and check.
