Haven’t been able for a couple of days to update my system. It just takes forever, and then says there’s nothing to update (which can’t be possible after so many days).
Also, when I try to update mirrors from the Welcome Application, it say’s refator-simple: no mirrors found.
I read a little bit about the mirrorlist,pacnew file, but didn’t help me. Can I get a hand, please? =)
Thanks!
It is super easy to do it without any super-auto utilities.
If you do it successfully once, keep some notes and if ever you need to redo it again, it is just like 1, 2, 3 
Just spend some time to read:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Mirrors#Fetching_and_ranking_a_live_mirror_list
refator?
Try this in cli:
reflector-simple ; eos-rankmirrors ; sudo pacman -Syu
Can you post a screenshot of your reflector-simple with the normal options you used?
@petsam tried the instructions on that man page, it didn’t help… =(
@EOS this didn’t help as well =(
@s4ndm4n here you go:
Also, now yay -Syyu is giving me this:
warning: linux-firmware: local (20220411.705f19a-1) is newer than core (20220309.cd01f85-1)
warning: linux-firmware-whence: local (20220411.705f19a-1) is newer than core (20220309.cd01f85-1)
Which makes no sense to me, how could it be upgraded to a version newer than the mirrors? Also, again, I haven’t updated for quite a few days now due to this error… =/
You might want to try:
sudo reflector --latest 5 --sort rate --save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
to get the five most recently synchronized mirrors sorted by download speed and then:
sudo pacman -Syyu
Yay! (The expression, not the software)
This worked. Thanks @pebcak !
This will help with all of the things you mentioned.
