Pamac GUI - Authentication window still disappears

Support System Updates
23

Good Morning,

this morning came Update for Thunderbird and Signal desktop.

Pamac GUI gtk4 - Authentication window didn’t disappeared.

So for me the problem was Solved by @linux-aarhus by replacing Pamac gt3 to gtk4 version.

Which should I mark as Solution?

Mine now or yours @linux-aarhus ?

Wish you well
Tony

Hey Ho, good morning.

It happens again this morning by the Brave Browser update.

I click on apply and while I am typing my Password or only the window, it disappears.

So the Problem is not solved.

Sorry

Which Info more can I provide to solve this issue?

It is impossible to deduce what causes this when it is not reproducable.

For the past week or so - for the purpose of verifying, hopefully catching the issue - I have used a pamac configured to

  • check for updates every 1h
  • check for AUR updates

When the notification appears - as I use unstable branch - the notification comes very often

  • I click the notification
  • pamac window loads and populates the updates pane
  • click Apply
  • provide authentication (expecting the dialog to disappear, it never does)
  • system updates
  • AUR packages rebuild
  • done

Just now I synced my system - using the above steps - sync of, amongst others, kernel - with a rebuild of visual-studio-code-bin.

Hii @linux-aarhus

That’s the way, uh-huh, uh-huh
I like it, uh-huh, uh-huh
Thatβ€²s the way, uh-huh, uh-huh
I do it, uh-huh, uh-huh

So it was this morning, as you do it but whit me several times the windows disappears reproducable, for me.

I mad the changes in

pamac.conf

AUR build directory:

BuildDirectory = /var/tmp

Download updates in background:

#DownloadUpdates

Maximum Parallel Downloads:

MaxParallelDownloads = 4

How can I make a video of it if it happens again?
Of the active Pamac window with the authentication window?
But not of the whole screen?
Or, if necessary, I make the Pamac window in full screen mode.
With a smartphone only if there is no other option.

Thanks :slight_smile:

No need - if you say it happens it happens - but I am suspecting it is a local issue.

The authorization is requested by Pamac but the handler is a system component - polkit - which is responsible for validating the request.

The request is sent to polkit using dbus communication and the result is sent back using the same channel.

I can only remember a few issues on the matter - this is indeed something local - not a widespread issue - and I have no idea where to look - but something is shorting the dbus communication on your system between pamac and polkit, making the authentication dialog disappear.

I have nothing - I understand it is annoying - I would be annoyed, perhaps even furious - but that changes nothing - so I would likely have used a :hammer_and_pick: by now :slight_smile:

//EDIT

:thinking:
I am speculating
As you have a periodic issue at random intervals

  • which applications is open - if any - when you click Apply in the pamac update pane
  • you could peek at active processes when it happens - using htop or SystemdGenie
  • have you made any changes to the authentication mechanisms - e.g. fingerprint or facial recognition
  • which process/application could possibly interfere with polkit
  • why is your system responding differently than my system (and most likely everyone else)
  • what can possibly disrupt the authorization process on your system
  • what changes have you made that - even remotely - could interfere with polkit

I have a test laptop running Manjaro Plasma on stable branch - I use it to verify issues.

Those version function as expected with the authorization dialog - no mysterious disappearance which locks the GUI.

I wonder if switching to testing branch might fix it. There is proper libalpm 15 support in pamac and plasma 6.2 fixed some issues.

I don’t think so.

I have systems on stable and unstable branch - with no issues.

This leads me to ask strange questions :point_up: above.

I wonder if the OP has dbus-daemon-units instead of dbus-broker-units installed? I realise that Manjaro changed to dbus-broker-units at the start of the year, and the OP has re-installed their system since then, but I do recall at the time of the change that it was sometimes suggested that users switch back to dbus-daemon-units if the move to dbus-broker-units caused problems with their system.

There is a difference between the 2:

dbus-broker.service:

[Unit]
Description=D-Bus System Message Bus
Documentation=man:dbus-broker-launch(1)
DefaultDependencies=false
After=dbus.socket
Before=basic.target shutdown.target
Requires=dbus.socket
Conflicts=shutdown.target

[Service]

Sockets=dbus.socket

ProtectSystem=full
PrivateTmp=true
PrivateDevices=true
ExecStart=/usr/bin/dbus-broker-launch --scope system --audit
ExecReload=/usr/bin/busctl call org.freedesktop.DBus /org/freedesktop/DBus org.freedesktop.DBus ReloadConfig

[Install]
Alias=dbus.service

dbus.service:

[Unit]
Description=D-Bus System Message Bus
Documentation=man:dbus-daemon(1)
Requires=dbus.socket

[Service]
Type=notify
NotifyAccess=main
ExecStart=/usr/bin/dbus-daemon --system --address=systemd: --nofork --nopidfile --systemd-activation --syslog-only
ExecReload=/usr/bin/dbus-send --print-reply --system --type=method_call --dest=org.freedesktop.DBus / org.freedesktop.DBus.ReloadConfig
OOMScoreAdjust=-900

Perhaps @Daumeier could post the output of:

pacman -Qo /usr/lib/systemd/system/dbus.service

If dbus-broker-units is installed, then the result should be:

/usr/lib/systemd/system/dbus.service is owned by dbus-broker-units 36-4

good morning everyone,
I wish you a wonderful sunny Sunday just like it is here in Berlin.

If I meet someone who lives near Berlin Tempelhof with whom I can expand my Linux knowledge.

Yes, then I would also like to change to testing branch, but as so far I have to develop my Linux knowledge further with your help.
Thanks all, I have learned a lot here.

Attached are the pamac and pacman versions from my Notebook where it doesn’t happen and from my PC where the window disappears.

Today, I got updates for some pamac related packages. With them the error in the GUI appeared again. I tried pamac update --aur and this worked fine. Thus, AUR on the CLI works.

33

You have to update all databases since we changed the way on how we fetch the database for AUR packages in libpamac v11.7.0. See also here: Searching AUR points to unexpected db Β· Issue #1 Β· manjaro/pamac-cli Β· GitHub

Good Morning all,

and thank you for helping me.

In the last 10 days, I think there were about 3 upgrades, browser and others and an AUR Skype, then I had problems with printing and tried to install or reinstall the printer.

Not once has the authentication window disappeared.

Everything is fine now.

Problem seems to be solved
with your help and the update of PAMAC.
