I’m trying to run an update because its been a little while (maybe 3 weeks?). When I go to run the script using the auto option in the menu bar, it fails. I ran aurman -Syyu in the terminal and it says it failed to unlock any of the databases. I’m not sure why this is. Would there be something wrong in the config file?
If someone has a minute to walk me through this, I would appreciate it!
If you need further output, please let me know what commands and I will share the output. aurman --sync went without a hitch.
That explains a lot. Its the script that runs when I click the you need to update bar. It still runs aurman I think. Which command would I use to install yay?
I’m trying to get the output here but aurman -Syyu is the command that runs when I click on the update option and then it says it was unable to do a list of pacman associated functions.
If you do not have baph installed (if you are on an older AL version for instance), you porbably still have aurman installed.
Anyway, pacman -Syu should at least update from the regular repositories.
Try to get Baph or Yay from the AUR to update AUR packages as well.
edit: for the aurman launch from polybar, it’s somewhere in the polybar modules, under packages or updates or something. Just replace aurman -Syyu by whatever you want
Then remove aurman using yay or pacman
yay -R aurman
And after that look at the good module inside .config/polybar/modules.conf
You will see pkg, and inside there is the command, replace the part with aurman by baph or yay -Syu
Hi.
I’ve been having a somewhat similar problem with updating, so I’m posting in this thread.
I can’t seem to update on pacman, baph or aurman in any way.
Whenever I try to update, I get:
GPGME error: no data
GPGME error: no data
GPGME error: no data
GPGME error: no data
…followed by a failure to get the ‘core.db’,‘extra.db’,‘community.db’ and ‘multilib.db’ files either doe to timeout or ‘database invalid or corrupt (PGP signature)’. Finally I get an error saying "Failed to synchronize all databases.
I searched online for solutions and none of them made a difference.
First I tried deleting the gnupg file, then running…
I tried the solution in the thread that you shared and it did not work for me. I couldn’t get the cache to clear. On the surface it appears to be the same problem so now I’m really frustrated. I can’t even get aurman deleted, nothing involving pacman works!
