Pamac Segmentation fault (core dumped)

gameslayer9999 · 25 January 2021 14:08

Hello everyone I have a issue

When I check for updates in pamac it crashes with a segmentation fault error

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

I tried reinstalling all the pamac packages

pamac-cli, pamac-common and pamac-gtk

as well as pamac-flatpak-plugin and pamac-snap-plugin

even tho I don’t think it would do anything but didn’t change anything.

Than I Tried removing all the packages including the dependencies and doing sudo pacman -Scc and sudo paccache -r to clear any cached packages but it still does it.

Anyone know how to fix the issue?

Have you tried to use pacman?

sudo pacman-mirrors -f && sudo pacman -Syyu

gameslayer9999 · 28 January 2021 10:54

Yes and Pamac still crashes when I click on updates

Wollie · 28 January 2021 10:57

Then use pacman until this is fixed…

Here is a gif of the issue and I will be until it’s fixed.

Just some thoughts.

If you run pamac-manager from a console, are there any errors.
Any meaningful errors in /var/log/pacman.log. pamac has a View History.
Delete anything in /tmp dealing with pamac and try pamac update.
Backup/delete or rename ~/.config/pamac. I’m assuming pamac will recreate it. If not, restore it.
Anything meaningful when you do

    coredumpctl
    coredumpctl info PID        # pamac PID from the above command

gameslayer9999 · 30 January 2021 13:29

No errors no until I click on updates and than it will crash with a Segmentation fault (core dumped)

error

I deleted the pamac folder in .config so it would be reset but still the same error and no errors in /var/log/pacman.log either

I do see this error for pamac manager so I already knew it was a issue with Pamac.

As I see it, Manjaro, as Arch offspring, have no control of anything, just roll on Arch’s back. There is no encouragement for users to go report things upstream, as shown in this example by moderator @Wollie.
Just ignore problem until Arch fixes it, let them do dirty work, or in this case - very weird, because pamac is Manjaro project and bugs should be reported to Manjaro’s Pamac GitLab! Link: Issues · Applications / pamac · GitLab

This worries me, as my daily forum read consists 75% of things being broken, users lamenting and nothing is being done about it.

gameslayer9999 · 30 January 2021 13:58

I’m going to also report this to pamac’s Gitlab

Also notice it crashes when refreshing databases…

gameslayer9999 · 1 February 2021 07:36

Any fix happening? no one has looked at my report either…

Strit · 1 February 2021 07:55

It’s odd. I don’t have any issues on my install.

So maybe it’s a mirror issue, so try:
sudo pacman-mirrors -f5 && sudo pacman -Syyu

gameslayer9999 · 1 February 2021 10:27

Yeah I know right, none of my clients or family member have the issue either but I did the command you suggested and everything looks fine but sadly it still crashes when checking for updates

I hope if anyone runs into this they can figure it out, I reinstalled to fix this issue and to see if it would fix another issue I have posted about which was to do with Steam proton but please don’t close this as we really should investigate what happened so we can work together to fix it

stargazer · 1 February 2021 18:14

In pamac-manager, if you Refresh databases before selecting Updates, does it make any difference.

In Preferences > AUR, do you have Check for updates set. If so, try the above once with it unchecked.

You were correct in creating a bug report according to this thread.

pacman and pamac have their own sync database (/var/lib/pacman/sync vs /tmp/pamac).

There’s also another program called checkupdates. If there are no updates, there is no other feedback other than an exit status/return code of 2. But otherwise it’ll list the packages, their current version and new version. pacman-mirrors will show the current status of your mirrors, same as https://repo.manjaro.org/.

gameslayer9999 · 2 February 2021 00:20

Thanks for the update

No refreshing the database with pacman -Syyu for example since that was my only way to do it did not fix it but I did a fresh install so I cant test to see if disabling the AUR will work now but that could of been the issue
