PackageKit daemon has crashed

[S H]

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.

Hi, thank you for the help! I was able to update the system but "failed to update one package, unexpected system error" I reran the update and got the same message again. what do you think is happening and what do I do next?  Also can you please explain first, how did you know I got the "unable to lock database"? Second, what the heck does the deleting of pacman do? and third, can you recommend a recourse for me so I can start understanding this program and its command lines?

I hope I'm not throwing a lot at you at once
