After update to latest, Pamac GUI is very slow #464

Hi, I am using Pamac with Arch & Cinnamon. After updating pamac & libpamac & pamac-cli to the latest version a few days ago, the GUi has been extremely slow. It takes forever after I open the update panel for the updates to show. When there are AUR updates, it takes a couple of minutes more during updating of AUR for the update window to show and for them to start.

This issue is not present when pamac is run through the cli. I am thinking it's possibly because I have a number of -git packages; however, i have the same # of git packages I did before the upgrade, and it worked just fine before.

There was a change on how AUR packages get handled and where the AUR database packages-meta-ext-v1.json.gz gets stored. A database refresh call would most likely fix that: pamac upgrade --aur --force-refresh --dry-run See also: https://github.com/manjaro/pamac-cli/issues/1#issuecomment-2461287938

It still seems very slow. However, let me try it for a few days and get back to you.

well, it's definitely still freezing for a long time on the AUR update sometimes...and the program also seems to freeze up completely if I try to uncheck one of the updates.

OK, yeah, it definitely seems like there's no change at all after running that command. Still getting many times when not only do the updates take forever to load, but the program gets stuck after updating the AUR database for several minutes before beginning the upgrade, and if I uncheck any of the updates, the entire GUI freezes. Again, this is only with the GUI. the command line works fine still.
