unable to lock database
Failed to synchronize databases
I am getting the above error when updating by package manager.
I was also facing problem in installing Manjaro GNOME but Plasma was working fine.
Have you tried searching for any of 1000 topics with same issue?
That Topic helped me.
Why Gnome is slow in comparison to Plasma on my 2 GB ram Dell laptop having Intel core i3 processor ? I want to have my Taskbar pop up on moving cursor below on it. i tried everything in extension but it is not popping up.
Are both on the same install and you log in with the same user, or separate partitions, separate home for the user?
No , I had installed earlier Manjaro Plasma , then it was working fine. But i don’t like Plasma so i removed it and installed Manjaro Gnome only in my Laptop. Now i noticed that it is less efficient and hangs on opening more thing together .
Care to share system information?

I see nothing wrong there. Maybe try X11 session instead of Wayland, and i usually recommend at least a swapfile for swap, if not using zram-generator from repositories.
How to change to X11 from Wayland and other things ?
From GDM login screen, from the gear at the bottom, your right corner, and you chose Gnome X11.
To enable swapfile see Swap - Manjaro
How to make Taskbar pop up by hovering cursor over it ?
You had (past tense) or you still have (present tense) it? Either way, a swapfile is fine on a SSD, much better than a swap partition. IMO with zram-generator is much easier, just needs to be installed:
pamac install zram-generator
Reboot and all should be fine.
~ sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1M count=4096 status=progress
We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System
Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:
#1) Respect the privacy of others.
#2) Think before you type.
#3) With great power comes great responsibility.
