So, last night I “garuda-updated” my PC, and I noticed Garuda core apps are updated. I also noticed nothing is displayed when I click on “Remove Orphans” icon under Garuda Assistant.

I guess all I can do is to let the Garuda team know through this post and wait ?

Does it at least pop-up for Admin password authentication?

EDIT: What does this show

That’s the last version, yes.
The Remove Orphans button work for me, though.

SGS · January 8, 2025, 12:10am

Do not use it, in terminal use

cleanup

in assistant it is a little bit aggressive

but check

# Cleanup local orphaned packages
function cleanup
    while pacman -Qdtq
        sudo pacman -R (pacman -Qdtq)
    end
end

in config.fish

isachan · January 8, 2025, 12:46am

Thanks SGS,

“cleanup” worked and my config.fish is just like that in cleanup function.

cybertheworm · January 8, 2025, 1:08am

never knew about that one. But the assistant worked for me also

isachan · January 8, 2025, 1:27am

Now I know what was happening…

The thing is, that the authentication dialog box opens up right behind the output window, so I didn’t see that until I moved the output window.

Is this a bug or that’s the way it is ?

FGD · January 8, 2025, 1:37am

Sometimes Plasma does that.
I think there is a setting in System Settings to always bring Administrative Windows up to focus on foreground.

EDIT: Try with this:

isachan · January 8, 2025, 1:57am

I just checked, and it has been like that all this time.

FGD · January 8, 2025, 5:13pm

Try Medium or higher setting and see if it makes sense for day to day use.

Last resort, which now I remember is what I did, you can create a Window Rule:

Don’t copy what I have exactly, bring the window in focus, create a new rule and click the Detect Window Properties in System Settings to add properties for the window and test and retest until it works as you wish.

elite · January 8, 2025, 6:26pm

This setting here also make it a bit more clear to see it wont help it be on top but make it noticeable

isachan · January 11, 2025, 12:46pm

Thanks elite,

It works as it should be now.
