Hi, I have 2 identical computers, actually to be correct I have 1 computer with a hard drive caddy and 2 hard drives with the same content (I cloned on to the other) the only difference is one is a mechanical drive, the other is a SSD. I use the SSD and keep the older HDD as a backup. I do swap them occasionally to keep the HDD up to date.
I recently encountered an issue after updating the HDD - Pamac is not rendering correctly and is unusable! I did a bit of checking and comparing to the SSD that is working correctly and I think I may have found the issue, but need help/advice on how to fix.
Pamac version number on the SSD is 10.6.0 but on the HDD it is 11.7.1-3 With a bit more digging I figured out that the SSD has the GTK3 version while the HDD has the GTK4 version? I’m running the ‘Cinnamon’ edition and from what I have been reading, I should be using the GTK3 version only! I always use Pamac to update my systems, so I don’t know how why the SSD got the correct version and the HDD got the wrong version?
I assume that I have to uninstall GTK4 and install GTK3 if it was any other app it would be easy, but because it’s Pamac - if I uninstall Pamac GTK4 I have no more Pamac to install Pamac GTK3 ?? what do you suggest ?
pamac-gtk and pamac-gtk3 are separate packages.
You are free to install and/or remove either.
It will automatically offer you to uninstall the other one. If you cannot use the gui just open terminal:
pamac install pamac-gtk3
If it does not work you can always use pacman, but it worked for me a couple of months ago.
Thank you, it worked
