there is no sound and i can't go into the settings

Run alsamixer at terminal and use F6 to select your sound card, use the arrow keys to reach "Master" volume on the left side of the window and increase it by using the up arrow

it says [Cannot open mixer: connection refused]

    Rb4y Seems is pulseaudio, try resetting your settings mv ~/.config/pulse ~/.config/pulse.old and reboot, in harder cases you may end up reinstalling it sudo eopkg it --reinstall pulseaudio

    Says connection refused because pulseaudio is a sound server, just in case make sure you are the owner of the /home/ directory stat -c "%U" /home/$USER/ this command will output whos the owner

      Well, mandb is not that important is just an index of cached manual pages, but i see the error your not owning the home directory, use sudo chown -R $USER /home/$USER/

        Rb4y Please run sudo eopkg it --reinstall gdbm then sudo eopkg up and reboot.

          AngelKrauze libgdbm is relied on by pulseaudio, so those errors are important and telling.

            I bet it was the directory permissions because people usually don't mess with pulseaudio configs
            eopkg check --config pulseaudio
            eopkg info -f pulseaudio | grep .conf | cut -f1 -d ","

            Maybe his gdbm is on a higer version (libgdbm.so.5 has been replaced by libgdbm.so.6) than his man-db both updated the same day 2019-5-17

            Yeah, re-installing gdbm and upgrading should help.
