Hello,

My PC restarted and when I logged in I noticed none of my extensions were enabled. I then opened up “extensions” and noticed it was disabled so I tried flipping the switch to enable but immediately once this is done my screen goes black and I get logged out. I then log back in and the same thing happens if I try to enable it.

I have no idea how to debug this, any idea what I should do? I really need the gnome extension for my daily productivity.

Thanks!

Hello @rebornosday 🙂

Could you tell me your Gnome version?

```bash
pacman -Q gnome-shell

```

Also, is the system fully updated?

```bash
sudo pacman -Syu

```

Hey thanks for the response, yes it is updated. I still have “corrupt database” issues in the GUI updater (I posted here a few weeks back) but I get around it via terminal.

Here is Gnome and current update status via terminal:

I just went through and removed all the extensions I added so now no “user-installed” ones are on my system but still the issue persists:

Your gnome is outdated, now the version is 1:43.1-1

Thanks for catching that @Rodrigo_Chile 🙂! I completely missed it.

@rebornosday Can you share your `/etc/pacman.conf`? Perhaps you don’t have the right repositories, or you need to run

```nohighlight
sudo pacman -Syyu

```

Thanks @Rodrigo_Chile and @shivanandvp yes I think I have repo issues. You can see the issues I had here:

> [@Failed to sync and python 2 package when trying to update](https://rebornos.discourse.group/t/failed-to-sync-and-python-2-package-when-trying-to-update/838/20):
>
> I noticed you encountered similar problems in pamac with the some messages I also encountered. What I found helps to correct it was to use the option --force-refresh from a terminal window. This will update all files so be aware of this before running it: sudo pamac update --force-refresh

I updated mirrorlist as recommended in the above thread to UK servers ( **/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist** ) but it really never fully fixed my issues. I always have to run the following for some reason as I get an error on this file after I run an update via terminal:

```auto
sudo rm /var/lib/pacman/sync/multilib.db

```

I just ran:

```auto
sudo pacman -Syyu

```

and my output was a ton of warnings all saying “warning: ‘program name’ local is newer than extra ‘program name’”

Here is my pacman.conf file:

Hi @rebornosday , since you already have a backup of your pacman.conf file (you pasted it here, so you have it),

### 1. Replace it with this one:

`/etc/pacman.conf`

```auto
#
# /etc/pacman.conf
#
# See the pacman.conf(5) manpage for option and repository directives

#
# GENERAL OPTIONS
#
[options]

#RootDir = /
#DBPath = /var/lib/pacman/
#CacheDir = /var/cache/pacman/pkg/
#LogFile = /var/log/pacman.log
#GPGDir = /etc/pacman.d/gnupg/
#HookDir = /etc/pacman.d/hooks/
HoldPkg = pacman glibc
#XferCommand = /usr/bin/curl -L -C - -f -o %o %u
#XferCommand = /usr/bin/wget --passive-ftp -c -O %o %u
#CleanMethod = KeepInstalled
Architecture = auto

# Pacman won't upgrade packages listed in IgnorePkg and members of IgnoreGroup
#IgnorePkg =
#IgnoreGroup =

#NoUpgrade =
#NoExtract =

# Misc options
#UseSyslog
#Color
#NoProgressBar
# We cannot check disk space from within a chroot environment
#CheckSpace
#VerbosePkgLists
ParallelDownloads = 16

# By default, pacman accepts packages signed by keys that its local keyring
# trusts (see pacman-key and its man page), as well as unsigned packages.
SigLevel = PackageRequired DatabaseNever
LocalFileSigLevel = PackageOptional DatabaseNever
#RemoteFileSigLevel = Required

# NOTE: You must run `pacman-key --init` before first using pacman; the local
# keyring can then be populated with the keys of all official Arch Linux

# An example of a custom package repository. See the pacman manpage for
# tips on creating your own repositories.
#[custom]
#SigLevel = Optional TrustAll
#Server = file:///home/custompkgs

```

### 2. Reinstall the mirrorlist

```sh
sudo pacman -Syy rebornos-mirrrolist

```

### 3. Refresh the mirrors

```sh
sudo pacman -Sy --needed refresh-mirrors

sudo refresh-mirrors

```

### 4. Re-upgrade

```sh
sudo pacman -Syyu

```

Let me know how it goes.

Thanks, ok I ran all these and finally it all ended with the following error:

Do you have Realtek 8821 hardware? If not, uninstall that package (`rtl8821ce-dkms-git` or `rtl8821cu-dkms-git`). Also, was this an offline installation from the ISO?

Looks like I have:  
Device-1: Realtek RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet

So I guess I can remove that. Extensions is up and working, thank you! I just have one last issue that still remains. Here is what I see in the GUI:

 ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/rebornos/original/1X/11522ae22a0692a2990694dd2bcc2c080dafc5ab.png)

When I click “apply” I get a bunch of these popups:

Then eventually it ends with:

Uninstall “pamac” this way

sudo pacman -R pamac-aur

```

and reinstall it

```sh
sudo pacman -S pamac-aur

```

Finally upgrade:

```sh
sudo pacman -Syyu

```

@rebornosday Ah. No problem. This is an old install that uses cosmic packages

### Uninstall

```sh
sudo pacman -Rdd pamac-aur libpamac-aur

```

(Need to list libpamac-aur separately just this time because we are skipping dependency checks to work around the cosmic package)

### Upgrade

```sh
sudo pacman -Syyu

```

### Install

```sh
sudo pacman -S --needed pamac-aur

```

(This should automatically install `libpamac-aur` as a dependency, if the upgrade does not already install them)

Sorry I had forgot to respond to your ISO question. Yes this is an older install from around April 2021. I grabbed the ISO and flashed to a USB drive to install reborn.

So I did the above and I still get the ceph-libs-bin failed message in the GUI. Here is a screenshot of it all:

### Remove packages

One of the below may not be present

```sh
sudo pacman -Rdd ceph-libs

sudo pacman -Rdd ceph-libs-bin

```

### Add packages

```sh
sudo pacman -S polkit polkit-gnome

```
