This looks different from recent problems, when it was opening but without showing anything.
In that case it was solved by:
sudo pacman -S archlinux-appstream-data-pamac
If you want to give it a try...

Im quite sure that this is also caused by the pacman 6 update, to be sure open pamac-manager using the terminal and post the output please. :eyes:

I think it is because pacman was update and pamac needs to be rebuilt. Just wait for it to be rebuilt.

The AUR page says this:

Same- just installed for the first time, and pamac etc was working fine before the huge update, but now it doesn't open. Kind of a relief to see it isn't my fault honestly I was about to jump ship lol

Yeah, because you didnt update pacman to version 6 yet. Nothing but waiting for Manjaro to fix this can be done here :man_shrugging:

This is what I’m getting:

╰─λ pamac-manager
pamac-manager: error while loading shared libraries: libalpm.so.12: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Funny how we’re effectively downstream from Manjaro that way. I’m going to periodically try pacman -Syu chaotic-aur/pamac-aur-git in hopes it comes faster that way :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

Agreed…it’s not very agreeable. But it’s not like they’re not a major player in the Arch world nowadays. If everyone would quit panicking for a bit it might just get fixed.

I’ve never seen such a whiny pack of–whatever–so bummed they couldn’t update right now!

We are effectively downstream for a lot of projects. Arch Linux, KDE, GNOME, etc. Thats not an issue, its just how open source works at times. Manjaro is just another of those. Luckily its "just" Pamac being influenced by them :wink:

I chose to take the update and cascade-remove pamac, so no Garuda Assistant for me either for a while… but I guess I’m one of those

:laughing:

Ey, Id trade a fully recently updated system with latest software for a working GUI package manager which I almost never use any day and wouldnt call it compromise :stuck_out_tongue:

They’re (GUI Pkg Mgr) handy to reach that stage.

I suspect that’s quite a few users, or at least the ones not “growing up” with some sort of package store(front).

In fact, with Archlinux who needs an update “reminder” running resident since, as we know, Arch has updates every day. :wink:

This statement is just silly. You don’t need a GUI package manager to update your system

If you are not keen on using a GUI tool dependent on Manjaro to update immediately use the terminal. If you are a KDE user it makes more sense to install a Qt GUI updater such as Octopi or Discover if you don’t want MJ tools.

I suspect any other GUI update tool will also have issues until the apps are updated themselves. Learn to merge your pacnew files if you haven’t done so already, then simply use pacman until the glitzy breakage prone GUI tools are updated.

I update all my distros on a 2 weekly basis. Including the arch based ones. I just updated all my arch ones about 4-5 days ago and so I'll address this in 9 days.

If need be I can rebuild necessary AUR packages (including pamac-aur, yay) in terminal. Except for garuda vm, I don't use the chaos repo.

Yes, pamac is useful for one off tasks, but since it's from manjaro one has to accept that its release timing is slightly behind arch. Same if you use manjaro stable and some AUR packages can't be updated because a dependency hasn't hit the stable repo yet. Pros and cons.

One just has to accept it and move on.

I’ve never actually used pamac GUI, so I’ll be fine. I just like to keep up with issues like this

In an attended solution to the problem, I installed "Bauh":
is a package manager made by the Manjaro team, also includes Flatpak, Snap, AppIt, and Arch / Aur.
It is minimal but does its job very well.
For install In the thermal:
$ sudo pip3 install bauh
$ bauh
If you want to start the command to automatically start: bauh-tray
Sorry for my English...

Incorrect. Upstream has nothing to do with Manjaro:

Just because Manjaro includes something, or claims something as a part of an edition (e.g. Cutefish), doesn’t mean it’s theirs.

However, to confirm, Bauh is a perfectly viable option.

But please don’t do

It’s in the AUR, so install it as your would any AUR package (e.g. use yay or paru or whatever).
