'warning: config file /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist, line 2: directive 'Server' in section 'options' not recognized'

I'd at least update/fix your mirrorlist.

/offtopic

Edit: Seems like I was incorrect and its an error in /etc/pacman.conf itself

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1094571

Anyone care to clarify?

Re: [SOLVED] Error updating Pacman

sorry, i am unsure what you mean by update/fix mirrorlist.  i've gone into pacman.d/mirrorlist and all are commented.  which should be uncommented?

At least 1 mirror.

But the problem is also that you have some spurious config under the options section which you need to rectify.

Re: [SOLVED] Error updating Pacman

Check and make sure your /etc/pacman.conf is set up correctly (especially the repo names in []).

Re: [SOLVED] Error updating Pacman

Pres,

I have looked at my /etc/pacman.conf and it appears to be setup properly according to what i have been reading elsewhere.  here it is for viewing sake.

#
# /etc/pacman.conf
#
# See the pacman.conf(5) manpage for option and repository directives

#
# GENERAL OPTIONS
#
[options]
# The following paths are commented out with their default values listed.
# If you wish to use different paths, uncomment and update the paths.
#RootDir     = /
#DBPath      = /var/lib/pacman/
#CacheDir    = /var/cache/pacman/pkg/
#LogFile     = /var/log/pacman.log
#GPGDir      = /etc/pacman.d/gnupg/
HoldPkg     = pacman glibc
# If upgrades are available for these packages they will be asked for first
SyncFirst   = pacman
#XferCommand = /usr/bin/curl -C - -f %u > %o
#XferCommand = /usr/bin/wget --passive-ftp -c -O %o %u
#CleanMethod = KeepInstalled
Architecture = auto

# Pacman won't upgrade packages listed in IgnorePkg and members of IgnoreGroup
#IgnorePkg   =
#IgnoreGroup =

#NoUpgrade   =
#NoExtract   =

# Misc options
#UseSyslog
#UseDelta
#TotalDownload
CheckSpace
#VerbosePkgLists

# PGP signature checking
# NOTE: None of this will work without running `pacman-key --init` first.
# The compiled in default is equivalent to the following line. This requires
# you to locally sign and trust packager keys using `pacman-key` for them to be
# considered valid.
#SigLevel = Optional TrustedOnly
# If you wish to check signatures but avoid local sign and trust issues, use
# the following line. This will treat any key imported into pacman's keyring as
# trusted.
#SigLevel = Optional TrustAll
# For now, off by default unless you read the above.
SigLevel = Never

#
# REPOSITORIES
#   - can be defined here or included from another file
#   - pacman will search repositories in the order defined here
#   - local/custom mirrors can be added here or in separate files
#   - repositories listed first will take precedence when packages
#     have identical names, regardless of version number
#   - URLs will have $repo replaced by the name of the current repo
#   - URLs will have $arch replaced by the name of the architecture
#
# Repository entries are of the format:
#       [repo-name]
#       Server = ServerName
#       Include = IncludePath

#
# The header [repo-name] is crucial - it must be present and
# uncommented to enable the repo.
#

# The testing repositories are disabled by default. To enable, uncomment the
# repo name header and Include lines. You can add preferred servers immediately
# after the header, and they will be used before the default mirrors.

#[testing]
#SigLevel = PackageRequired
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[core]
SigLevel = PackageRequired
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[extra]
SigLevel = PackageOptional
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[community-testing]
SigLevel = PackageRequired
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[community]
SigLevel = PackageOptional
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

# If you want to run 32 bit applications on your x86_64 system,
# enable the multilib repositories as required here.

[multilib-testing]
SigLevel = PackageRequired
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[multilib]
SigLevel = PackageOptional
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

# An example of a custom package repository.  See the pacman manpage for
# tips on creating your own repositories.
#[custom]
#SigLevel = Optional TrustAll
#Server = file:///home/custompkgs

Re: [SOLVED] Error updating Pacman

You have the testing repo header commented. That's where the warning is coming from:

Re: [SOLVED] Error updating Pacman

yeah, that is gone now but i am still unable to install the keyrings due to the following errors:

Proceed with installation? [Y/n] y
(2/2) checking package integrity                                                                                                                [########################################################################################] 100%

Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

sort of lost on this one (as you can no doubt see)

Re: [SOLVED] Error updating Pacman

should sigleve= Optional Trust All in pacman.conf be uncommented?

Re: [SOLVED] Error updating Pacman

Just comment out the "SigLevel = PackageRequired" line for core, install archlinux-keyring and then uncomment it.

I'm not sure why you have those lines uncommented if you haven't set up package signing in the first place though...

Re: [SOLVED] Error updating Pacman

Try this:

[options]
HoldPkg     = pacman glibc
SyncFirst   = pacman
Architecture = auto
CheckSpace
SigLevel = Never

[testing]
#SigLevel = PackageRequired
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[core]
#SigLevel = PackageRequired
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[extra]
#SigLevel = PackageOptional
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[community-testing]
#SigLevel = PackageRequired
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[community]
#SigLevel = PackageOptional
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[multilib-testing]
#SigLevel = PackageRequired
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[multilib]
#SigLevel = PackageOptional
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

Then update your system, then you should get a pacman.conf.pacnew (which you should fill out/edit accordingly) - backup pacman.conf and replace the current pacman.conf with the pacnew you edited to fit your needs.

[Edit]
Or, as Pres just pointed out, disable the check for core repo.

Re: [SOLVED] Error updating Pacman

I’m just leaving here a note with the solution to my problem after the recent update: Non-working keyboard and touchpad in X.

It was fixed after I removed /var/run and /var/lock from being tmpfs mounted in /etc/fstab.

@Nichollan

Why in an, at least as far as I understand it, not related thread?

Mistake. I mistook it for another thread.
