pamac - simple graphical package manager for Manjaro Linux

[eskaini]

It would be nice to see a pamac software center with also integrated cleaning of the packages in automatic...

However on pamac there are no all the packages when you try to search... if you try with  yaourt there's many more

Yaourt access a completely different - unofficial - repository called the Arch User Repository. Pamac just accesses our official repositories.

In the next realase of pamac , could we choose to add AUR too ?

Hi all. I'm having a problem with pamac that some people think might have something to do with polkit but I'm not sure. I've had this problem for a while and it seems to have happened suddenly involving no updates or any system changes, it just one day started doing this. I made a thread about it here:

http://forum.manjaro.org/index.php?topic=2650.0

tl;dr I can't install or uninstall anything through pamac because a whenever I do a window pops up saying "You are not authorized" and won't let me do anything.


Thanks for your help

Same thing with pamac happening here, manjaro0.8.4-e17-edition
Gonna ask also in e17-subforum

Thanx

Martin

did you have polkit at your startups, even on that loaded right in?

I have a problem with pamac-manager, I hadn't launched it for a few days, today it is completely blank, all the groups but no packages in right hand pane.

then you have an problem with pyalmp or libalpm? did you had refreshed te data base? pacman its self is up to date.. strange...

[xircon]

Yep, up to date (tracking testing), no obvious errors in terminal (until I quit the program).

Code: [Select]

pamac-manager
Fontconfig warning: "/etc/fonts/conf.d/53-monospace-lcd-filter.conf", line 10: Having multiple values in <test> isn't supported and may not work as expected

Congrats, you've found a miscellaneous bug It will be fixed in next release.
It's because you commented (or erased) the HoldPkg array in /etc/pacman.conf file.
You shouldn't do that (but you discovered a bug).
It's highly recommended to leave it as default :

Code: [Select]

HoldPkg = pacman glibc manjaro-systemCorrect this a pamac should work again.

@guinux

can you not add an icon button on further release??  there comes a window like thunderbird / chromium..
and make pamac more configuratble? on which type of pacman you want as example**

personally? i dont like cascade mode but more onsettings etc.. will be very nice... reason why i use pacmanxg its doing more on pacman... bit more work on someparts,OK..

And mayby change your mind to not to work on polkit anymore?? mayby just more on gksu??

under icon settings you can also add the rankmirror scripting and choice for edit your Mirrorlist... would always be fine...

but is some idea... is not for must for shore

but im hapy that bug is found

I'm sorry if someone else has said this.

And I've said this, just in case nobody saw it:

Buttons for pacman -Scc and pacman -Rs $(pacman -Qqdt) would be lovely in my opinion.

Any comparisons between the features of Pamac and Octopi, by the way? Is Octopi a bit more Synapticesque than Pamac?

[ringo]

pamac used not the model of synaptic or something, more in model like gnome-packagekit

[davidnotcoulthard]

Is Octopi a bit more Synapticesque than Pamac?

note: Pamac which doesn't and probably shouldn't try to be Synapticesque at all?

Ooops, I did (and I did it because I had made some changes and erroneously thought holdpkg was one and reversed it) - but can I have a gold star for finding a bug?

As someone on here's signature says - you make I'll break it

Youhave now better than a gold medal, you have now my eternal gratitude
