I tried to install gimp 2.10.38-5, but the setup failed. And the sudo confirmation asked me not in my preferred language.
Some hints to fix that?
Thx

Then check first the language setup.
Hello and welcome to the Manjaro Community!
The version I have in Stable is: GIMP 2.10.38.
For the language, this will likely be down to locale settings. As a workaround until this is fixed, prepend with LANG=C
or LC_ALL=C
and the output should be in English.
Which method are you using to install? I recommend:
sudo pacman -Syu gimp
Does it really fail to install?
Or is the issue just the mixed language - which seems to be dutch and german.
Hi, my configured language of KDE is german. I use pacmac 10.7.0 as follow version
I installed Manjaro few days ago and other Manjaro user said: “Switch to unstable to get the last updates” I did that. After 2-3 day I switched back to stable and after an update I got some warnings about different versions of packages

... and more
It could possible the bug depends on that behavior? The sudo kde confirm dialog of pacmac 10.7.0 version runs with the wrong language.
I can install the flatpak version of Gimp (I removed it)
I can instlall Gimp with KDE Disover and got 2.10.38
If I tried to install Gimp with pacmac: The sudo dialog use the wrong language and try to install 2.10.38-5. The installed version failed on start Gimp
In overall, this could happen on my fault of switching to unstable > update packages > switch back to stable …
So many words … I hope you understand my points
What you need to do when switching “down” with branches, is likely
sudo pacman -Syyuu
… or just wait until the packages in either Testing or Unstable reach the Stable branch.
Your synced packages are currently ahead of Stable.
Ok, I’ll wait for the updates then! I was afraid to downgrade the system because I would have expected even more problems in the end. How long takes updates normally on the stable branch?
The mixed up languages are weird.
The output of:
grep -v ^# /etc/locale.gen
and
cat /etc/locale.conf
and
localectl
could clarify
But:
when it comes to Plasma/KDE - I’m out.
They do seem to have kind of their own way to configure the system language - and I do not know it.
This probably means you are using packagekit
.
Packagekit should not be used on any Arch/Manjaro system … it is broken, buggy, and insecure.
Please stop using the term “pacmac” … there is no such thing.
pacman
is the default package manager of Arch (and is also present and works on Manjaro).
pamac
is the manjaro made package manager that also has a GUI.
Furthermore pamac-manager
(GUI) uses polkit
for authentication.
System Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
VC Keymap: de
X11 Layout: de
So I think the right german setup
Ah sorry … “Pamac”!
… and the other two?
I wonder where the Dutch even comes from …
> grep -v ^# /etc/locale.gen
de_DE.UTF-8 UTF-8
en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8
> cat /etc/locale.conf
LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_ADDRESS=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_IDENTIFICATION=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_MEASUREMENT=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_MONETARY=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_NAME=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_NUMERIC=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_PAPER=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_TELEPHONE=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_TIME=de_DE.UTF-8
The other cmds looks nice
I don’t see where the dutch could have been coming from.
Check Plasma/KDE language settings - but as I said:
I don’t know where to go look.
My knowledge about the structure of the Plasma UI is very limited, to put it mildly.
It may be that you used packagekit
, as @cscs said.
Don’t.
Remove it - or use it strictly as a tool to look stuff up - but not to install stuff.
You didn’t answer the question, btw:
Exactly what I do with Pamac! (I use it to check for stuff but avoid using any GUI when actually installing etc. and have switched to Yay recently for any AUR needs).
Pacman for system upgrades, then the other tool(s) for any AUR programs.
short off topic:
I have completely eliminated pamac
…
as in:
purged from the system
in favor of yay
Hey
I’ve downgrade my system and the CLI “pacman -Su” runs well without warnings etc.
The pamac sudo confirm use german as default language …yeeah!
It seems everything is fine. And i removed:
“sudo pacman -R packagekit packagekit-qt6”
For me, it looks fine at the moment!
Still polkit
.
Warning - Do Not use sudo
with pamac
.
I used the graphical dialog. Is that wrong?
Using sudo
to launch anything graphical is not a good idea.
Generally, with sudo
the best policy is “If in doubt, leave it out”.
If sudo
is actually needed, use sudo !!
.
It will repeat the command you just typed and ask for your password.
