Pacman -Syyu timeouts... [Solved]

I can ping out to my mirrors, but Pacman isn't following his pellets properly... (Ha, see what I did there?)

Anyway, I keep watching HTTP and FTP alike time-out...
Wired Connection on i386 system...

Any suggestions?

Yeah, lots... (see what I did there?)

sudo pacman -Syu

If no luck, try a different mirror.

If I'm curt with you it's because time is a factor. I think fast, I talk fast and I need you guys to act fast if you wanna get out of this. So, pretty please... with sugar on top. Clean the [censored] car. -The Wolf

I'm doing it from root, so I don't need to use sudo, and I'm using several mirrors, not to mention I was originally getting this error with an unmodified mirror list.

Re: Pacman -Syyu timeouts... [Solved]

Are you using "pure" arch, or a derivative; cinnarch, manjaro etc ?

Have you read the arch wiki for pacman ?

If you have tried changing mirrors, then pacman has a debug option to print more helpful error messages...

I'm using Pure. I'll also put some time into the wiki right now...

And said command would be...? [edit]

Running Pacman -Syuv --debug now...

So, now I'm getting this from "pacman -Syuv --debug":

curl returned error 28 on transfer.

Thank you to those of you who are helping me. I'm going offline to sleep, and I'll keep working on it when I wake up. See you!

I am back, and once I login to Arch, I'll be ready to troubleshoot. Still having all the same problems as before, as far as I currently know.

Re: Pacman -Syyu timeouts... [Solved]

Ok, now it seems that Arch won't even connect to the internet...

Oh, right... I forgot... Arch doesn't seem to like me at all... I need to manually re-activate the dhcpcd service for my adapter... something I set for Arch to do automagically...

Re: Pacman -Syyu timeouts... [Solved]

Two other things to try: switch to wget in pacman.conf, see if that makes a difference. Disable IPv6.

Also, please use the edit button, rather than continually bumping the thread:

Re: Pacman -Syyu timeouts... [Solved]

I'm in the IRC right now. sudokode is helping me very greatly...

If this doesn't work, I'll try wget, and disabling IPv6...

If sudokode does solve it for you, please post back here with the solution and mark the thread solved.

Re: Pacman -Syyu timeouts... [Solved]

So, the issue was that pacman was broken. Period. Uncommented the curl section in pacman.conf, and everything is working fine. Now if I could only get xorg working...
