I tried reinstalling Pamac but I run into a lot of problems in terms of my disto(Manjaro) and dependencies
Tried on other computer(Both ASUS)
I have tried looking for solutions but could not find any online
For some reason switching to software mode will show the pending transaction
System info:
ASUS Vivobook Go 15 E1504FA
Kernel: 6.6.25-1
Distro: Manjaro Gnome X11
ASUS Vivobook 15 X540UAR
Kernel: 6.6.19-1
Distro: Manjaro Gnome X11
Side notes:
I always used to prepare packages for installation, then check my pending packages, and then applied it.
I don’t like the software mode so having to constantly switch between the two to see pending packages is annoying.
Please let me know if there is anything I should add as well as if you experience the same problem as I have not been able to find any reference to it online.
I actually tried that first but I have to sign in and cannot for the life of me find out where to register. I have a gitlab account that I tried to sign in with but to no avail.
@Yochanan Sorry, I thought that is when you already registered and the process takes long or something. I sent the request now.
@Teo I am on GTK4. That is what is strange to me. I don’t seem to find anyone else having the same problem. Though the fact that it happens on both my laptops made me want to sort it out.
As a side note, I have AUR, flatpak and snap enabled but disabling them does not change anything.
Pamac in general seems a bit more buggy than it used to for me(I used to love it, I still do but the experience does not have such a “premium” feel as it used to) as it used to include updates in the transaction info on the bottom and a bunch of similar things. Maybe the problems are related?
Hello,
Same problem on my PC : xfce and pamac-gtk 11.7.1-1
I select several packages to install, then click on"pending" : nothing happens, no change in the display, I can still select other packages.
Update:
So I am still waiting on my confirmation email from the Manjaro gitlab so that I can open an issue. I have gone to the support page to request email verification but have not yet received an email. I tried once or twice after waiting for a while. Is there something I am missing?
@Teo Yeah the issue literally started about a year ago. You can still reach it by going to the 3 dots and selecting software mode.
It actually comes in handy as I sometimes have multiple packages I want to install and to make sure there are no duplicates or if I find a better alternative to something and quickly want to cancel the initial package.
pamac-gtk 11.0.1 uses Gtk 4 that is not supported by Xfce
user can replace pamac-gtk with pamac-gtk3
sudo pacman -S pamac-gtk3
pamac-gtk3 is working as expected to show Pending packages from Manjaro repositories. But it does not work reliably if AUR packages are selected - GUI can sometimes crash if AUR database is not up to date. So I prefer pamac CLI for installing/updating AUR packages most of the time
