Just tried to update, but nope, not working. This really starts to get annoying. I wonder what the hell is going on there? Itā€™s almost three weeks now.

Protracted and varied ddos is my guess

Yeah, thatā€™s what it looks like and what they were claiming AFAIK.
But I wonder who and especially why someone would do this? Doesnā€™t look like thatā€™s just a script kiddie.

The AUR is becoming the single point of failure.

During these past weeks, itā€™s going here from ā€œupdates usually work, down a few minutes per dayā€ to ā€œkeep a terminal and the status page open at all times, let it pling every minute, and when going ā€˜greenā€™ then very quickly jump to your PC and hit yay Enterā€ā€¦ Then while you jump to the next PC, itā€™s down againā€¦

A nuisance. Wonder where that malicious potential comes from and why the countermeasures are failing.

Yeah, it seems like more than a script-kiddie. What I canā€™t figure out is why.

For those of us that have AUR packages installed it is getting annoying because it isnā€™t working most of the time.

It is definitely a very intermittent issue. I just updated without any problem.

Same here, I managed to update too. Fortunately, I only rely on four AUR packages.

Iā€™ve tried all morning on 5 different machines. Nothing!

Edit: Iā€™m wondering if my security settings on Firefox have anything to do with it? My settings are strict and maximum on DNS.

Edit: But on the other hand Iā€™ve never ever had any trouble before accessing the AUR with yay.

Bear in mind that thereā€™s also this going on : Internet unstable after recent update - #46 by Archie1

My theory is that the same person or group who tried to flood AUR with RAT-poisened packages from Google Chrome etc. some weeks ago are now trying to avoid the analysis of the Arch team and others ā€¦

Iā€™m even having trouble just getting different topic pages to load half the time. Not having any issue on other sites. :person_shrugging:

That sounds like the kernel problem. A temporary workaround is to downgrade the kernel and headers to 6.16.1

18

I donā€™t think itā€™s a kernel problem. Things are working better now but as others have said it is intermittent at times.Currently the AUR is accessible with yay. Pages on the forum seem to be responding better also.

I had a 5-day internet outageā€”donā€™t ask, it suckedā€”itā€™s repaired and updated twice today:

yay attempt #1: fail; pacman -Syu instead..

yay attempt #2, an hour later: success

^^ hit and miss is what it was like before my internet went out

It went from 100% reliable to 50% for me so rate that as you will. I still can get a yay updateā€¦every other try.

I canā€™t believe whoever black hat still has time and energy for thisā€¦editā€“spelling

It tells you what is happening on the Arch main page.
