pacman stuck on Synchronizing database

hello. I read an article in the forum with a similar problem however i couldn't get into solution.
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=273113

also pinging hostnames ( i tried google.com ) takes forever but eventually succeed, what am i missing here ?
thanks in advance

sorry for the miss information i just don't know where to go on as even in the live installation i can't get pacman to work

Re: pacman stuck on Synchronizing database

post the following logs:

$ tail -n100 /var/log/pacman.log
$ cat /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
$ resovlectl

maybe your dns is misconfigured too?

And the output of

dig heise.de
ping -c8 heise.de # assuming you've not queried that domain before
