[SOLVED] PACMAN sig errors

Hi,

So i have this problem which started about a week ago, i reckon around the time of that pacman update. Anyway i'm getting signing erros on package installs and  a sudo pacman-key --init
sudo pacman-key --populate archlinux with and without sudo pacman -Syy fixes it....till i reboot then it errors up again. I've removed the /etc/pacman.d/gnupg folder etc reinstalled archlinux-keyring, pacman without a fix. Sorry my first post here is a beg for ideas to help but i'm more of a lurker then poster.
If anyone needs more info i am happy to provide as i really would love to solve this. Long live arch linux

cheers
Al

edit:

Should add the keys show up with pacman-key -l or -f etc after reboot but doesn't stop me from errors. so the keyring is still there but not searched?   but if i do a pacman-key --refresh-keys then it will find new keys but this will not fix the errors and allow package install.   needs the --init  then populate to allow install.

hope i'm clear enough

Re: [SOLVED] PACMAN sig errors

Is the time correct after you reboot?

Re: [SOLVED] PACMAN sig errors

Allan it appears to be correct, and i disabled the ntpd check/set i had autostarting and that made no difference. Thanks for your efforts in helping troubleshoot this.

not sure this helps but if I logout my openbox session  (--exit) then logon again the keyring is still working fine.

Re: [SOLVED] PACMAN sig errors

Try:

sudo systemctl disable pacman-init.service

Then reboot, then

sudo pacman-key --init
sudo pacman-key --populate archlinux
