Re: Update Pacman mirror list issue

Second image says that you have a syntax error in your mirrorlist. Correct it by changing Sever to Server or post your complete mirrorlist file.

Re: Update Pacman mirror list issue

Oh there are so many things wrong here.

First, post text as text, not pictures of text.  Second, post the full text of the relevant files/logs, not some random exceprt.  Third, look at what you post: your mirrorlist file only shows a few lines, but even anyone with zero archlinux expereince should be able to readily see that one of those lines is not like the others.  Fourth, the except of the pacman error you posted is clearly not a result from running with that mirrorlist file - it seems you're not including the mirrorlist in your pacman.conf but instead you've directly specified a server there but with a typo.

Mod note: moved to N.C.

Re: Update Pacman mirror list issue

All the instructions you need are located here --> https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/mi … ng_mirrors

If you need a new mirrorlist, scroll down a bit to the "Troulbleshooting" section in the link above for instructions on that...or use this --> https://www.archlinux.org/mirrorlist/?c … _version=4

Good Luck

And while it was stated above, I'll repeat it here --> please don't post links to pictures.  The first image doesn't show a mirrorlist that can even have that error and the error message is because Server is misspelled on line 5...the only problem is line 5 from your mirrorlist image doesn't contain "Sever" (incorrect, from the error) OR "Server" (correct).

From what I can tell you took the error screenshot, tweaked the mirrorlist incorrectly, and then posted that mirrorlist image...nothing that you posted correlates with one another...???...
