Hello,
I didn't update for a while and now im trying to and get the following error like 100 times:
Error: failed retrieving file 'the filename ' from mirros.kernel.org : service not available, closing control connection
What i tryd is the following:
- uncomment a mirror in mirrorlist
- sudo pacman -Syu
But still the same error.
Any solutions?
Cheers,
Niels

Pick an up to date mirror and place it on top of you list, next 'pacman -Syy' and 'pacman -Syu'.

if it is "mirros.kernel.org", that might be a typo.
In any case, if you comment out that particular mirror in addition to uncommenting a different mirror, then resync, you should be ok. Or uncomment a new mirror and make sure it is moved to the top of your mirror list, not below the broken mirror.
Also, if you are interested, you could use Xyne's reflector ("reflector" in Community repo) to help you pick mirrors that are fast for your location
Edit: Karol beat me to it... but still, I would recommend trying out Reflector

And please pick a meaningful title - update of what? "Problems with update after a long time w/o" seems better.

this was a bug in libfetch. once you update this, that message is gone.
Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Hello all,
Thanks for the fast reply (real fast!).

Cheers and thank,

Oh no!
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
linux-firmware: /lib/firmware/rt2860.bin exists in filesystem
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
Hmm any sugestions?
Offline
Run 'pacman -Qo /lib/firmware/rt2860.bin' to find out what package owns this file.
Edit: Its enough if you uncomment just one mirror, but it has to be up to date.

it is owned by rt2860-firmware 26-1
So what to do with it, if i remove it i won't have any internet.
Offline
Atm it's owned by linux-firmware from testing. Where did you get that rt2860-firmware 26-1 from?
Edit: OK, I see now http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=36774
PLEASE, read the comments:
For kernel26 the firmware package has moved from kernel26-firmware to linux-firmware since 2.6.34 in Archlinux.
Since 2.6.34 now is in testing this package should be obsolete. But it should remain on AUR until 2.6.34 comes to core I guess.

The firmware got reorganized since your last update. So you will have to remove it (pacman -Rd rt2860-firmware), then update. I believe you would still have net while you do this, since the module will still be loaded in the computers memory, or if the packages already downloaded, you should still be fine
Edit: i believe you could also replace it with this: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=14557 If I am remembering correctly, this driver from AUR is a newer driver than what is included in the kernel.

And you can downgrade if somehow you don't have internet with the new setup.

Ok all, thanks it's working.
I deinstalled the rt2860. Then updated. (like Bregol said)
And now i don't have to install my wireless driver anymore.
Thanks a lot! Now i can go on trying out stuff

Glad you got it all updated. Don't forget to edit your first post to mark the thread with '[SOLVED]'
