Re: [SOLVED] mirrors not working

Was your internet connection up when you got that error?  Can you ping the mirrors?  Please post the complete output in [code] tags.

Re: [SOLVED] mirrors not working

1st link below, however:

I cant ping the mirror or any other site

(ping -c1 google.com; ping -c1 8.8.8.8; ip a; ip r; resolvectl status; stat /etc/resolv.conf; cat /etc/resolv.conf) > /tmp/network.status
cat /tmp/network.status | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st

Edit:

my internet was working and I cant ping the mirror or any other site

this is btw. nonsense. If you cannot ping "any other site" your internet is obviously not working.

Re: [SOLVED] mirrors not working

what I meant by "my internet was working" is that other devices were connected and using it
sorry if I didn't understand
Edit: i use ethernet

Re: [SOLVED] mirrors not working

The cable died, or did you just not configure networking within the new installation?
