PackageKit daemon has crashed

[spartan]

Hi ,

I am having the same issue and ran "sudo pinephonepro-post-install" but I still get the same message. Any idea on the next step. I am very new to this. IS it a matter of reinstalling the operating system?

Try the following command:

Code:

sudo rm /var/lib/pacman/db.lck

I had the same issue and noticed the error message "unable to lock database". You can safely delete this lock file if no instances of pacman are running.
