 there is nothing to do
 
            
              
            
           
          
            
            
              Red dot? Where does that happen?
             
            
              
            
           
          
            
            
              I had installed a pacman update warning a while back. It’s an exclamation point.

              I did using reflector. I’ll try updating again, thanks.
             
            
              
            
           
          
            
            
              i would bet on mirrorlist also.

              Same there is nothing to do. Switch from Greece to WorldWide.
             
            
              
            
           
          
            
            
              It looks like reflector simple ignored my command, and it’s back to Greece.

              Do you have reflector service updating your mirrors?
If you want to show error messages, please show also the command and parameters you used. That helps us help you.
You could try reflector directly, something like:
sudo reflector -c GR,DE -phttps -a2 -f10 --save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
Use command
reflector --list-countries
to see the countries with supported mirrors.
EDIT: added the save stuff, thanks @xircon  !

Don’t forget the save bit

              I wonder If Mulvad has anything to do with it. I’ll try it again without it.
             
            
              
            
           
          
            
            
              
I don’t think yay makes a difference If you put -Syyu after it, although I could be wrong, I’ll try it.

So the system got updated after refreshing the mirrors?
             
            
              
            
           
          
            
            
              No, it did not.yay -Syyu but failed on making mulvad. It seems there is a problem there with it.

No, it did not.
 
 
But your output from sudo pacman -Syu indicates that it did. Or am I missing something?
             
            
              
            
           
          
            
            
              It says it did, but it never went over the dots, it displayed it in a couple of secondsyay -Syyu did quite a bit. I’m going to re try it without Mulvad
