error: Failed to execute pacman-conf: error: config file /etc/pacman.conf, line 35: invalid value for 'ParallelDownloads' : '5 <== This fella here is apparently the problem. But its under the options section.'
error parsing '/etc/pacman.conf'
Any idea how to fix this issue ?
2nd issue: i still can not launch Garuda Boot-options. Not meaning grub this works i mean the tool in the OS !
What is pacman-conf ?
i solved it now i made a # at "maximal downloads 5 " and it works !
Garuda boot options i mean not Grub i mean the tool in Garuda which is not working.
Start it from terminal and post what the output comes.
pkexec env DISPLAY=$DISPLAY XAUTHORITY=$XAUTHORITY HOME=$HOME garuda-boot-options -style kvantum
It launches from commandline but requires now sudo. It works. But it does not works when i call it from menue then i enter my password and it does not apear.
Copy this and paste in terminal.
Whenever you are asked to launch a GUI application from terminal, you should look the appropriate .desktop file for Exec menu. This depends on the DE you’re using, most likely you can right-click on the app in application menu and then chose “Edit Application…” or something.
And also post the output of inxi -Faz.
Please edit this post and add “~~~” above and below the output, to make it easier to read.
What about this?
there it opens !
I think you should reboot your PC once and then try again. If it opens from terminal it should also open from desktop icon too. I'm not using XFCE, so not sure much about how it handles.
i rebooted several times - because there is also linux-lts 510.x not working but linux amd 5.12.10 is working fine. I just compiled the kernel 5.12.11 and will reboot soon and report you.
Before that, change your text as you were asked. Please 
What!!

Edit your Post!
You broke it you fix it.
The fact that garuda boot options do not work did not me break.
I do not know how to change this into that this looks like this - and when i think so close when i would not have new hardware i very fast had installed my long years used Distro linux Mint where all works.
But sadly i had to change my favorite Distro due to hardware changes and i have been using Garuda XFCE since march and i was quiet happy with it until there was the issue starting with problems with pamac, now boot options do not work and now i am blamed that it is my fault...... just by the fact i found a workaround for pamac in manjaro forum.
And yes Manjaro i tried also some years ago it had terrible problems after each update so that i banned it.
I hoped that Garuda is a bit more stable when it comes to an update.
pamac i could fix already this was realy my fault probaly but it was easy to fix. I ask more about this " boot option tool " which works when i call it from command line but not when i call it in menue.
This is off-topic here in this thread.
Garuda is stable, use last snapshot if some apps failed.
Wait until it is fixed.
Soon Garuda is to blame for everything that goes wrong in the world because the news about it appears in the browser that Garuda has made available.
okay i wait 
Yes it is stable and yes i was realy exited i use it in the begin of march with almost zero issues.
Just now there was a problem with pamac and this i found just out by the fact that i did not recieve updates what wondered me. Because i was used to it that pamac apears with his blue bubble as every day almost.
I see this incident as very critical because security updates are very important nowdays.
