After that whole -- resent -- pacman issue, I was finally able to update my system; so I thought.

After fixing my pacman.conf file with pacman issue, I started to update (pacman -Syu); but a ALSA LIB conflict came up; enabling multi-lib in pacman.conf resolved that.

As Steam uses a 32-bit library for ALSA, I enabled using "multi-lib" in my pacman.conf file; resolved.

Then this error came up: "archlinux-appstream-data-pamac and archlinux-appstream-data are in conflict"; as posted above...

After resolving the pacman and ALSA lib issue, I still can't update my system.

Searching Arch and Garuda forums were not helpful, nor was searching the internet. The only thing I found were bug reports, general information about appstream-data, and other not-helpful stuff.

I found this thread here on the Garuda forums, but doesn't seem to address the concern I'm having.
(1) Add / Remove software doesn't show anything
(2) FIXED Pamac (Add/Remove Software) does not launch

Other than bug reports (non-relevant), or AUR pages regarding appstream; I haven't found anything useful.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Uhm, this is actually meant to be this way - archlinux-appstream-data was replaced by archlinux-appstream-data-pamac for pamac-aur depends to get the "Browse" tab working. :slight_smile:
Also added this to the FIXED banner so nobody else has to search for it :wink:

You may want to add (for newbies like me), that you need to enable chaotic-aur in pacman.conf (as described here) to see the new pamac.
pamac by default uses aur, but pacman isn't if you don't update pacman.conf...

I think you mean, as described in a dozen(s) of posts detailing how to update pacman.conf since this whole update catastrophe for the search impaired began. Anyone with the most rudimentary of search skills should have no problem finding the endless posts regarding how to update the pacman.conf file.

I’m beginning to wonder how all the countless new users managed to find out about Garuda to install it in the first place, as that must have involved some degree of searching online. How is it that all these new users have managed to find out about Garuda, yet once Garuda is installed the search capacity has been mysteriously removed from all their devices.

Learn to search people.

See? I told you there were such a thing as stupid questions.

I propose a simple test to join. Something they’d be forced to reference the Garuda or Arch wikis to answer. If they answer correctly, they’ve proven they can search and allowed to join but with the stipulation they must read and inculcate the Help Vampire guide.

It wouldn’t be the first forum to do something.

Arch does that to join their forum, and verify you are actually using Arch. . . . Put a hidden key in the install - use terminal - with a command they had to search for on the forum.

Then they can join.

Are you bored?
Be happy if nothing is going on in the forum.
You could devote yourself to other things ... Oh no, let's leave that ...

Just made fun :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

And thanks for the Firedragon as it is!

Doing the same, just in case :stuck_out_tongue:

Thanks I guess :relaxed: I'm just very happy that I can contribute something which gets used by peopled in the spirit of open source rather than just doing it for myself only :slight_smile:

You are honored to be selflessly providing useful things to the public.
Not just you alone. Everyone who works on the Garuda project omits good vibrations, including the odd one from Canada and the scratchy one from Hellas.
All give good vibrations. Thank you for everything.
