[SOLVED] pacman not working after install

Unfinished632 · 2024-09-04 20:42:00

I have just finished installing arch linux on Virtual Box. The pacman command was working fine during the installation but after rebooting it just stopped working. After printing the name of the package its installing it just freezes.

Please replace the oversized image with a link, the board has a 250²px² max rule
Also avoid posting images of text, post the text.

ip a
ping -c3 mirror.osbeck.com
ping -c3 _gateway

How are you configuring your network?

Sorry about the images. I couldn't get the clipboard to work and it seems the easy way to get it to work is to install some packages, which i can't do.
I'll post links from now on.

Looks like a DNS problem, osbeck responds fast but the ping sequence lasts 6s. so it's gonna be the reverse lookup.
Please post the outputs of

find /etc/systemd -type l -exec test -f {} \; -print
resolvectl status

cat /etc/resolv.conf
dig google.com
dig @8.8.8.8 google.com

You're defaulting to your gateway which is likely your ISPs DNS, setting the default to 8.8.8.8 (google) or 1.1.1.1 (cloudflare)

Thx this worked!

So it's a shitty, underdimensioned and locally uncached ISP DNS - vodafone or verizon? …

You might benefit from resolved, stubby or dnsmasq or any other local DNS stub responder and if your (likely ISP-issued?) router allows you to configure a custom DNS backend (ie. the server that it asks) you might want to adjust that there for the benefit of the entire LAN.
