Help installing Snaps on Pinephone running Manjaro ARM w/ Phosh - danimations - 04-06-2022

I'm trying to install Snaps on my Pinephone running Manjaro ARM w/ Phosh, following the official installation directions for Arch Linux, here: https://snapcraft.io/docs/installing-snap-on-arch-linux

I've hit an impasse, with the message "Pacman is currently in use, please wait." repeating on the terminal screen.

The last command I entered was...

Code:
makepkg -si

Is there a way I can see if Pacman is running in the background and close it?

Thanks in advance.

Code:
ps -ef

should give you a full process list. See the man page to get details of these options and the others available:

Code:
man ps

Pipe into less if scrolling is tricky, or grep if you know what you're looking for and just want to see the filtered results.
You can then use the kill command with the process ID. Perhaps also look at pgrep, pkill and killall commands and their man pages.

It may be that there is no process, just a left over lock file that needs removing manually.

Thanks, good to know should this happen again. It turned out that the problem was cleared with a reboot of the phone. Still keen to hear from anyone who's tried to run Android apps on a Pinephone, using AnBox, WayDroid or any other similar app.
