I am new to Linux and Manjaro. After the system update today, the Add or Remove Program (pacman-manager) cannot be launched. Whenever it is clicked, a small icon is jumping next to the cursor and an icon shows up in the “taskbar” but simply disappear without the pacman-manager windows shows up.
What could be the cause? Is there anything that I can do to correct the issue?
Thank you in advance
Hello and welcome,
Considering you reboot the system after the update, what are the errors if you start it from Terminal?
pamac-manager
what happens if you remove the pamac-flatpak-plugin and pamac-snap-plugin?
pamac remove pamac-flatpak-plugin pamac-snap-plugin
We had a similar issue in v10.0 we are currently testing. Seems something changed and affected also the stable release.
You can also disable the plugins like so:
sudo sed -i -e /EnableSnap/d /etc/pamac.conf
sudo sed -i -e /EnableFlatpak/d /etc/pamac.conf
Hi, I have removed the pamac manager and installed the one with -dev
sudo pacman -S pamac-gtk-dev pamac-cli-dev pamac-common-dev
Now there is chance that the pamac-manager launches. Sometimes yes and sometimes no. This is the message returned if I start it from the terminal if it doesn’t launch.

I was having the same issue. removing flatpak and snap plugin solved the issue.
when I ran pamac-manager in terminal I got this message.

Hi, these two plugins are no longer installed. I removed the original version and switched to those with -dev version (10.0.0beta-2). It does launch, but sometimes yes and sometimes no. The files currently installed are:
pamac-cli-dev
pamac-common-dev
pamac-flatpak-plugin-dev
pamac-gnome-integration-dev
pamac-gtk-dev
pamac-snap-plugin-dev
pamac-tray-icon-plasma
And, I also find that the manjaro-hello and manjaro-applications-utility cannot be launced.
Hi there, can you launch the manjaro hello and manjaro application utility?
Yes I can. Those seem to be working fine.
I got the following message when I try to run manjaro-hello from the terminal.

ValueError: Namespace Pamac not available for version 9.0Removing the plugins worked for me. Reinstalling them, too. Now it’s working as before with both plugins
I had this issue. Removing the flatpak plugin worked. When I reinstalled the plugin, everything was still okay. But when I re-enabled flatpak support in Pamac, the issue returned.
I was having the same issue, removed flatpak-plugin and pamac-manager launched instantly.
I faced the same issue and package manger was opening only after removing flatpak plugin.
sudo pacman -R pamac-flatpak-plugin
So, I resolved the issue by removing plugin, and ran the below command to reinstall flatpak and plugin.
sudo pacman -S flatpak
sudo pacman -S pamac-flatpak-plugin
You can try this workaround as it resolved the issue for me and is working perfect now.
Thank you! I get same errot but just removing flatpak solve the problem
I can’t confirm that. Even with flatpak support enabled it’s working again. Good luck with your efforts!
the problem was solved.
It is enough to update from the terminal
sudo pacman -Syyu
I had the same problem in 25/12/2021 this link may help if someone also find this topic.
