Currently we have it like this:

manjaro-language

We should find a way to change/optimize our display of pacman progress outputs in MSM.

Maybe we can use something similar as in pamac to make it not printing out several lines of same content but instead the real progress bars of pacman.

This four times in a row depends on the terminal. If you use lxterminal you have it also there. So this is pretty "normal" ;)

So there's nothing that can be done? Clemens thinks it's trying to install these packages 4 times each and hanging the system, If he thinks this then so will the end user.

please install lxterminal on your end and install one package and you will see the same. It is just how a terminal displays the output, in this case the progressbar of pacman downloading or installing packages. This is a visual problem. No package will be installed 4 times in a row. However the terminal of XFCE and KDE has not the problem so has pamac. With octopi it depends on the terminal used. With pretty "normal" I ment, that other terminals have the same issue. Ramon is already checking the issue ...

Ok, to clarify the issue here. It doesn't matter which terminal you use, but how you display the output. If you have a dynamic terminal it works as pacman has a progressbar. This is a normal pacman -Syu output:

[manjaro@manjaro-FX ~]$ sudo pacman -Syu

Now if you create a bash script with that command as content and execute it you will get something like this:

This means on a dynamic terminal pacman can refresh the one line as in a progressbar, on a static terminal pacman simply prints each line, which might look awkward.

Just tested it with 15.12-pre1. It works. Now we need a backport to 0.4.x branch ;)
