Internet Connection

When I do 'pacman -Syy' it fails to connect to the repos. If I cancel and then try again it connects. See screenshot:

[oliver@Linux-PC ~]$ sudo pacman -Syy

The same thing also happens in Steam and certain web browsers such as midori and epiphany. It attempts to load the page but it cannot connect; I refresh and it can.
This only ever happens in Arch Linux or Manjaro. Every other distro works fine. I also have this problem on other computers. Any help would be appreciated

Why post an image of text output? Just paste the actual text into code blocks...

Wired, or wireless?
What are you using to control your network connection?
Have you ensured you've only one thing controlling your network?
Are there any clues in the journal?

Sorry but I'm a bit of a noob. It's a wireless connection. What's the journal and what do you mean by what's controlling my network connection?

ewaller · 2014-04-11 21:04:06

The journal is where your logs are stored. To read your logs, run journalctl as root https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Journalctl#Journal
What systemd services have you enabled that control your network? For a wired connection, you probably want to enable just the dhcpcd systemd service.
To find the services you have running, use systemctl --type=service

Edit: You might post that output.

LOAD   = Reflects whether the unit definition was properly loaded.
ACTIVE = The high-level unit activation state, i.e. generalization of SUB.
SUB    = The low-level unit activation state, values depend on unit type.

30 loaded units listed. Pass --all to see loaded but inactive units, too.
To show all installed unit files use 'systemctl list-unit-files'.

Mod edit: Added code tags to program output (ewaller)

Sorry. I can be a bit stupid sometimes :-P

ewaller · 2014-04-11 21:16:26

You are using NetworkManager to control your network connection. Do you not remember installing and enabling it? (Or is this not Arch Linux ?)
What does the journal tell you?

Arucarn · 2014-04-11 21:23:03

Ahh Okay. Yes this is arch linux and I do remember installing and enabling it.
After running pacman -Syy this is what I get from the journal:

Apr 12 11:46:11 Linux-PC dbus[253]: [system] Activating via systemd: service name='org.freedesktop.ModemManager1' unit='dbus-org.freedesktop.ModemManager1.service'
Apr 12 11:46:11 Linux-PC dbus[253]: [system] Activation via systemd failed for unit 'dbus-org.freedesktop.ModemManager1.service': Unit dbus-org.freedesktop.ModemManager1.service failed to load: No such file or directory.

I don't think that is it though. I don't have a modem. I googled it and found out that it's a dependancy of Network Manager so I enabled it but still no difference.
