What happened to AUR

[ashen bison]

I don't what happened but im getting this gibberish instead of packages names when i go to install -> AUR

What happened to AUR

[shut trench]

Same

[ashen bison]

maybe an update issue

[finite folio]

i thought it was a personal problem im kinda relieved that im not the only one experiencing this

[solar tiger]

same here fresh install

is there any way to install slack on omachy ?

[lean flower]

an issue has been opened on gh, hopefully the team will see to it

[cyan pollen]

same here out of the blue

[lofty turret]

Same here. Old but updated install. There is already a github issue for this: https://github.com/basecamp/omarchy/issues/3592

Guess within the next update this should be fixed.

[icy chasm]

the command yay -Slqa that is used in the script is also producing the same in Terminal directly.

[lofty turret]

You are right!

[icy chasm]

but this happened only recently right? can it be caused by a problem in AUR?

maybe some wrong character breaks the lists?

[cyan pollen]

i think it is yay's problem

[unique vortex]

same issue here

[icy chasm]

but for all other arguments yay works as it should, i also rebuild it and tried, deleting cache and all that other stuff

[lean flower]

yea, pacman -Slq works just fine

[icy chasm]

only when you use -a for AUR there is an issue

[ripe cloud]

Its not only a Omarchy bug, it does it on another Arch-based distro as well

[icy chasm]

thanks for trying that

spend too much time today trying to figure out what i broke again 😆

[ripe cloud]

and no matter if you use yay or paru, same outcome

[lean flower]

yep, just modified the omarchy-pkg-aur-install script to use paru, yay. same outcome

[cyan pollen]

is aur attacked??

[icy chasm]

i think there can be many reasons why the list is broken, i guess if there is a wrong character in a package title already breaks it. But i am really just speculating. i dont understand enough about how aur works

[cyan pollen]

https://github.com/basecamp/omarchy/issues/3592#issuecomment-3571332033

someone fixed it

instead of yay -Slqa use this yay -qSs

in ~/.local/share/omarchy/bin/omarchy-pkg-aur-install

[icy chasm]

well but does yay -qSs even list the AUR packages?

[cyan pollen]

it does

[icy chasm]

okay maybe i was wrong about -a, maybe it just means all not AUR

but something changed none the less, and we can modify the script ofc, but i would like to know, where it came from

[ashen bison]

same thing, anyone ?

[worn lily]

i have the same issue

[ashen bison]

also idk why my caps lock button isn't working, was working fine a couple of days back until i updated. Anyone facing the same issue ?

[cyan pollen]

enable it once again

[ashen bison]

not working, on starting up the laptop it blinks but as the omarchy gets boot up it goes back to no light and doesn't work

one more issue i tried to update but seems that my password isn't working. previously it worked fine and smoothly now it says to try again, and im inputting the correct password still

[icy chasm]

is it maybe the caps lock? xD

[ashen bison]

nope ig cause its just numbers (the password) also as of rn i don't see any captilization

I think the solution can be to just rollback to prev. update ?

[ashen bison]

alright the issue here is that when installing googles antigravity i see this code i copy pasted sudo ... /keystrings then hit enter and enter the correct password but its says try again for no reason. meanwhile when i did sudo -k then sudo true and entered password it worked fine. but this seems to be having an error of getting wrong password or not getting any password at all.

[ripe cloud]

alias apt 'man yay'

[ashen bison]

solved it , in setup -> defaults my terminal was something else i changed it to ghostty and its working fine

[lofty turret]

@ashen bison Was this related to the AUR issue?

[little storm]

I'm also seeing gibberish as of 2 minutes ago.

[pallid swan]

omarchy is arch based im pretty sure apt doesnt work

it would be pacman

i might be completely wrong tho

[young pine]

We're so back

@covert flame here

[honest pebble]

any modifications to omarchy-pkg-aur-install need to get unrolled after it's fixed in AUR

diff --color=always $(which omarchy-pkg-aur-install) $f

hmmm... no diff highlighting'

[honest pebble]

no, it doesn't search AUR. it relies on local information.

man yay lists some additional options provided on top of pacman

--> just wait on AUR to be fixed. there's probably info about it in the yay repository

it shouldn't matter much. however, if for some reason the dependency graphs for yay installs/builds are different when the AUR functionality is restored, that could be problematic for Arch Linux. yay operations with the -a flag is supposed to retrieve more packages.

once yay -Ssqa works again (when AURs web service fixes it's encoding), then you'd need to undo all the changes to scripts/etc

[ashen bison]

nope

[ashen bison]

yes sir that's right i used yay to install it and its working perfectly

[distant badger]

Will this be fixed in an update or is it necessary to manually fix individually?

[shut trench]

too lazy to fix it myself, im waiting update)

[fair oxide]

I’m sure that it will be fixed in an update, but I can't say how long it'll take

[honest pebble]

no. it's AUR. there's some problem with decoding input from the AUR webservice

i would wait on their nginx or whatever to get fixed idk https://github.com/Jguer/yay/issues/2709

[outer quiver]

seems like this is the fixed issue :

[heavy imp]

yes this works!

[unique vortex]

not fixed for me

[karmic knoll]

I can't see people talking about this problem in Arch/AUR forums, so it doesn't seem to affect anyone outside of Omarchy.

[karmic knoll]

It only shows like 15k packages though, not all of them.

[fair oxide]

same for me

[dense glacier]

This fixed it for me, awesome

[inner star]

apt is for debian, onarchy is arch based, it uses pacman -Syu to update apps

[slate flare]

Hi, excuse me, so, would it be best to fix it manually or wait for an update?

[honest grove]

how much does it bother you having to manually look for a package name in your browser before installing it the old fashioned way?

[slate flare]

It's for a friend, I recommend Omarchy to start with Hyprland, and he's not very familiar with it yet

For now, he asks me and I confirm the package name for him, haha.

[honest grove]

Fair enough ahhaha

Good to see people switching over to Omarchy, the whole opiniated thing is nice and al but why have an opinion on something that just works

Like even this isn't even an Omarchy problem but a problem with the Arch User Repository

🤣

[vale robin]

Works! thaks ❤️

[fickle hinge]

Can’t I use yay -S to install a package meanwhile?

[dry raven]

this is the fix for me thanks

[honest grove]

Yeah you can

https://aur.archlinux.org/

You can still browse packages here and just use yay -S

[fair oxide]

Found a new fix to get the AUR tui completely working again. (With all packages and not just 15.000)

You just have yay -S yay-gzip-fix
and revert your ~/.local/share/omarchy/bin/omarchy-pkg-aur-install to
pkg_names=$(yay -Slqa | fzf "${fzf_args[@]}")

You will probably be required to switch back to standard yay as soon as this issue is fixed as the fix replaces yay

[ashen bison]

fixed for me.

[versed python]

as far as i know caps lock does not work on omarchy by default.

[fair oxide]

it is mapped to XCompose. See: https://learn.omacom.io/2/the-omarchy-manual/53/hotkeys#quick-emojis

[tender swallow]

very strange

[versed python]

I would only recommend to fix it by yourself if you 100% know what you are doing. Best practice is to wait for the next update.

[tender swallow]

ig it is one of those valuable left corner keys

[delicate widget]

The password thing happend to me too i just restarted my laptop and it was fine

[honest pebble]

yes, i agree. changing scripts could break updates. omarchy-update-git should autostash your changes on git pull. messing with files in $OMARCHY_PATH is more intended for developers.

TLDR, if you change files in these directories, weird things could happen. if you do not know how to use yay without the fzf script in the walker menu, odds are that you don't want to change these files

[proud hemlock]

if I update yay in the terminal with yay -Syu , would that mess anything up?

[karmic knoll]

Has anyone inspected the pkgbuild and code of this supposed yay-gzip-fix? Given it just showed up today, it seems a bit sus.

[pine creek]

came here to tell you my friends that my yay became a minecraft enchanting table and you no longer cna decide what you will install.

of course youve already found the solution

tysm

[ashen terrace]

tnks, bro.

[polar pier]

What should I do? "error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
yay-gzip-fix-debug: /usr/lib/debug/usr/bin/yay.debug exists in filesystem (owned by yay-debug)
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
-> error installing: [/home/ezra/.cache/yay/yay-gzip-fix/yay-gzip-fix-12.5.2.r0.924ecd319-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst /home/ezra/.cache/yay/yay-gzip-fix/yay-gzip-fix-debug-12.5.2.r0.924ecd319-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst] - exit status 1" I got this when trying to install yay-gzip-fix

[fair oxide]

yay -R yay-debug

and then try again

[polar pier]

thank you that fixed it

[inner star]

its funny i have this error but i didnt notice

dont use the aur

dont trust it

[sharp sphinx]

this one fixed my issue

[fair oxide]

then you can just install yay -S yay-gzip-fix, see #1442511035385774100 message

You only need to remove yay-debug if you have it

[glass stump]

thank you

[strange wharf]

confirmed, it works for me

[narrow bluff]

Seems like the fix was merged into the next branch on the yay repo about an hour ago

[fair oxide]

Okay. The latest version of yay has fixed the issue. To revert the workaround do yay -R yay-gzip-fix then sudo pacman -S yay you can do that before or after updating omarchy, just make sure that you update omarchy to get the latest version of yay

[finite folio]

it's now finally working

[river beacon]

Anything else we need to revert ? For ex this #1442511035385774100 message

[fair oxide]

No. Just check if ~/.local/share/omarchy/bin/omarchy-pkg-aur-install still uses
pkg_names=$(yay -Slqa | fzf "${fzf_args[@]}") , so nothing else besides -Slqa and you're good

[river beacon]

ok i did your steps - seems good so far

[fair oxide]

you need to change yay -qSs to yay -Slqa

[river beacon]

done - thank you mate
