Hello @Arthur_a

@Arthur_a

@Arthur_a

Only there?

At least WPS Office is available here: AUR (en) - wps-office

pamac build wps-office

The easyeda I was following this video [Install EasyEDA on your Ubuntu or Linux Based Operating system] I cant put the link sorry
and yes,

it’s like that
password:
“I put my password”
incorrect password try again:

but when I use the “appstore”
and it is requested, it works

I was following this video

Manjaro uses a rolling release model, so videos are not the most up-to-date resource for installing things, especially Ubuntu videos!

Therefore read this:

[HowTo] become a Manjaro power user when you're a wizard at Windows but a N00b at Manjaro / Linux

Difficulty: ☆☆☆☆☆ Remember when you installed your very first Windows, added bells and whistles and then couldn’t see the wood for the trees any more and had to re-install? Well, you’re in the same situation now: You’re a N00b again! Embrace it! I know right now you’re thinking:

Why is this so much more difficult than Windows?

Whereas in 6 months time, you’ll be like:

Why can't I make Windows jump through fiery hoops like I do with Linux???

<a class="lightbox&qu…

(At a minimum The N00b guide to installing software, but the other sections could be useful to you as well if you don’t know much about them)

Then reverse the steps you already took from the video and install your chosen software the right way!

P.S. For the future, please use this methodology to post links / pictures / videos
P.P.S. If you can’t find “Manjaro” instructions, follow “Arch” instructions and if you can’t find anything, please post a question here!

So…

1. On the terminal it does not work? This also?

sudo su

whoami

exit

2. I guess you mean graphical root check called polkit which is used on the pamac manager.

I faced similar problem when my user and root passwords were different, and I was entering the root password when prompted.

If that is the case with you, then try using the user password.
