Pacmanxg gets stuck while updating a certain package (clamtk) from AUR (Task: "Upgrade Packages from AUR").
System remains responsive, but I have to end the process.
Yaourt updates the package without problem.

I can't run this anymore. after splash up it dies, no matter if choosing su, sudo or user

runing in terminal with sudo shows this:

I am experiencing this as well. Splash screen flickers briefly and then nothing.

It`s seems problem with find tray window

- open ~/.Almin-Soft/PacmanXG/pacmanxg.conf in text editor
- find string usetray=1
- delete it or rewrite like "usetray=0"

What DE and tray you use?

I run KDE so don't have these problems, but here are some options that might help you around this:

If you are using a terminal to start PacmanXG, I suggest going to root using 'sux' (pacman/packer/yaourt -S sux).
Once you are root using sux ($ sux), then simply run: pacmanxg

Another option around this is starting PacmanXG from your normal user prompt ($) with: gksu pacmanxg
Of course you will need to make sure gksu is installed first: pacman/packer/yaourt -S gksu

May God guide your thoughts and actions, and all the best in Jesus' name, MaNNa

4.11.1 release

-new filter panel
-add new filter "Installed as depences"
-"Search results" move under search box
-new option "sort by package name" in Options.
-add option "exact match" (try find "rar" package for see how it works)
-remove tray icon (at present i can`t make it stable, may by later)
-pacmanDizz insert in pacmanxg
-fix some bug in news

-language support for interface - try translate any langs/*.lang file and send me on e-mail.

to MaNNa:
You are free to use gksu or something like this. But pacmanxg may work without these utilities.

to brando56894:
minimal for running pacmanxg : archlinux + xorg-server (with depences)

with icons try archlinux + xorg-server + xterm (it`s work for me in x32)

@minoshi

Yes, you are right of course. I was trying to help some of the others above with their problems.

It can be authorized several ways, but the fastest is just starting pacmanxg directly, as you mentioned.

I just updated to the new release, and wow! It is getting better and better all the time, and this new release is just awesome! I wish I could vote for pacmanxg more than once!

BTW, no problem about the tray icon. I don't know about others, but I never turned it on anyway, as it wasn't all that necessary or useful.

Please know Alexandre, that all your hard excellent work on this is very much appreciated.

May God continue to guide your thoughts and actions, and all the best in Jesus' name,

†MaNNa

EDIT:
I just updated to the second update (4.11.3-2), and just found a day after the first update that nothing can be installed or removed. Normally we can click on the Query box to the left of the file name and it will say Install, or, Remove and such. Or you can right click on the file name to do these things also. Or simply Ctl+I to Install. But none of these things seem to work Alexandre.

Just thought you would want this reported, even though you may already know.

Yes. Fixed.

The only small glitch I now see at the moment is that when you request an 'Install' or 'Remove', the dialogue box just sits there spinning the icon (nice BTW) with nice Yes and No buttons waiting for a response, but doesn't say "Do you wish to continue?" or anything like this.

Also, after the latest Arch update of pkgtools, we got this:

- pkgtools no longer provides the pkgfile command.
This is now provided by the 'pkgfile' package.

Which means that 'pkgfile' now needs to be installed separately. However, even though pacmanxg threw an error about this, everything seemed to work ok anyway. I say 'seemed' because I'm sure there must be something pkgfile does that I didn't catch as of that test.

I may mention too that you may want to change the word 'Query' on that column to 'Request' or possibly 'Operation', or even possibly 'Function'. Maybe makes more sense in this case. But somebody else may want to comment on this with an even better column heading, but 'Request' is my favorite at the moment.

may be At present you may open /opt/pacmanxg4/langs/en.lang in any text editor, find string "mainfo be_query_all: tbooleaneditradio" and change property "caption" with any word you want.

Oops, it does say 'Continue?' down at the bottom. Didn't catch it before. Sorry.

Excellent! That sounds good my friend. Will change it there.

EDIT: Actually found that and changed it to 'Action' instead of 'Request'. Saved and started pacmanxg4, but no change. Tried another place (mainfo sg0: tstringgrid) also (which looks more like where the column heading that I want to change should be changed), but no change there either. Hey, not a big deal, so no problem. -- 'Action' is now my favorite. LOL

Alexandre, I suggest you remove the '-bin' off the file name 'pacmanxg4-bin'. It's a little confusing and the '-bin' is not necessary my friend. PacmanXG4 is simply a great name by itself, even as a package file name. Just a thought.

Are you select "en.lang" in Settings -> Interface -> Language and click "Set" after editing? Pacman allows for changing the language without having to restart the program (at least works for me:))

Of cause, if your English good, you may prepare en.lang and send me by e-mail for including in package.

No. "bin" means binary. User just install and use, he does not have to compile the package.

No I wasn't doing that, so this would be why it didn't take. I will let you know how all this works out my friend.

Okay, sounds good, will let you know on that.

No. "bin" means binary. User just install and use, he does not have to compile the package.

Yes, I know bin means binary (no compiling), but what I didn't know is that installing from AUR required the '-bin' on the package name to tell the installer that it was binary and that no compiling was necessary. That is interesting, and I thank you for straightening me out on this.

=======
EDIT:
Okay, this is what I've got so far:

1) The en.lng works just as you said. So at this point I'm doing a cleanup and changing some words and such on that. Thank you for helping me get that going. As I get it complete, I will send it to you via email. << UPDATE: email sent >>

2) Here's the '-bin' situation. I thought I would really experiment with this thoroughly for you, to see if we could now possibly build the package without the '-bin' to help make the package name a little less confusing. Yes it works perfectly and installs/stores the file name as 'pacmanxg4'. Maybe some changes to 'makepkg' have been made since you last tested this. So these are the steps I took for this experiment:

It took a little effort as I had to let it download all the files with the '-bin' into the /tmp directory as usual. Then copied that whole directory out to a working directory. At that point I edited the PKGBUILD pkgname from pkgname=pacmanxg4-bin to pkgname=pacmanxg4. Then removed/renamed the '-bin' off all the downloaded files. Went to a terminal and CDed to that directory and ran 'makepkg'. It worked perfectly as it built and compressed the file to: pacmanxg4-4.11.4-4-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz BTW, I did have to manually remove/uninstall the pacmanxg4-bin package before installing pacmanxg4-4.11.4-4-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz.

The problem with this, of course, is that I will have to download the '.bz2' binary separately each time unless/if you will fix/change this all without the '-bin', as it won't update automatically otherwise.

3) Now a new problem: Updated to the latest KDE (4.8.97) and now the built-in authentication to root will not start the main PXG4 program. This must be something weird with this RC build of KDE because this was working just fine before the upgrade to 4.8.97. BTW, all the other authentication methods (gksu, sux, kdesu, and such) work just fine and take you directly into the PXG4 main program.

4) There is another problem that I just spotted, and that is with the 'Have Update' feature of PXG4, which is really sweet BTW! When you press 'Have Update' and get the listing, there are some files there that have already been updated to the latest version but are part of that listing. And if you click '+ All' to do an upgrade/install of the whole list and then continue, PXG4 will attempt to 'Downgrade' those packages that are already upgraded, and on this list. So you have to carefully go down through the -sometimes long- list, and turn off the Install for those particular files. Yes, I know, strange!

I have screenshots of all this if you need them.

To all : Who else is reading that the package should be renamed?

I didn`t like KDE 4x and don`t use it. I try to fix but not promise. Now you may use "gksu pacmanxg".
