Check your pacman.conf and mirrorlist to make sure that you haev the mirrors listed correctly.

Also post the exact error here, so we can have a look.

Re: Pacman Not install gnome or openbox

quick command to see that you have mirrors uncommented:

grep -v ^# /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

should return something other than blanks.

, figured it out already. And you were right. my mirros were all commented out in the file for some reason after upgrading. Thanks.
