Oh! reding is helpfull.
Formerly the -a switch meant “check aur” too.
Upps: software mode does not show ignored (blocked) updates. A feature.

a very tiny update.

pamac (both pamac-cli & pamac-gtk) has LOST ability check for AUR updates it seems. I have double checked that AUR is enabled in pamac configuration.

we know … needs rebuild with api … its being done.

Progress messages are not getting displayed properly.
No message for linux510 started directly got the message linux510 finished.

The software mode in GUI disables AUR support so if you have packages installed from AUR, you should not use it.

I’m not using the software mode.

It’s still not working after pamac is updated.

Try to refresh databases from the menu

Thanks, it’s working now.

A post was split to a new topic: Wi-Fi driver crashing with net hook

19dec libilbc has been updated to version 3.x.x, but some apps need libilbc.so.2 for running (discord/ksysguard/etc). Need to create shared link for new lib (i added it handly)

Upgraded to kernels 5.10.2-1 and to 5.9.16-1 and got boot-time warning:

The root device is not configured to be mounted read-write! It may be fsck'd again later

during boot.

snaps

But OS loaded successfully.

I see it in both current 5.9 and 5.10 kernels. Never saw it before.

Do the kernel updates lacks post-update actions with /boot/grub/grub.cfg to replace boot parameter from ro to rw? If yes, than why bugfix update requires that action - which kernel changes leads to that replace?

Also after manual replace I see that fsck action remains on every boot instead of fully black screen as was before the update.

Check in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf in the HOOKS line for that fsck … After you remove it you have to run from terminal:
sudo mkinitcpio -P
then
sudo update-grub

Check your fstab mount option for /

When grub updated recently did you do anything with grub.pacnew? This line was added:

# systemd-fsck can run the check automatically
#GRUB_ROOT_FS_RO=true```
