Eos-rankmirrors news

keescase · October 31, 2025, 12:52pm

There you go it is at version 25.10.3.-1 now

Sam_Fisher · October 31, 2025, 12:53pm

It doesn’'t ask me anything both with sudo or without, but i remember older versions did that. I guess i’ll wait for the latest version as keescase said. I am on “arm” branch by the way.

keescase · October 31, 2025, 1:14pm

Maybe a tip in using this great tool, create an alias in bashrc with a ignore list included.

alias er='eos-rankmirrors --ignore=freedif,hacktegic,funami,leitecastro'

And adjust the ignore list to whatever your list might be of mirrors that take more than the default 30 seconds.
You can name the alias to whatever you like, in the example I just have to type er (Emergency Rescue ) on the command line.
And not to forget to @manuel.

eos-rankmirror should be run without sudo, but it should work both ways.
The problem you are seeing may be related to the pager recently added for showing the mirrorlist.
I’m currently changing the pager thing, it will have a new option --pager. With this option it may show the output using a pager.

BTW, the current version is 25.10.3-1. The next version will be 25.10.4-1.

If it is the pager, you typically exit them by pressing q.

Edit: Typo

Sam_Fisher · October 31, 2025, 3:07pm

Yes after i pressed “q” the option to save the new mirror file appeared. However, there is no message on the screen telling me to press q there. How would i know? I am no linux expert. I should say many people probably will struggle like me so i think there should be a text telling people to press q there.

I put the latest version of eos-rankmirrors-25.10.4-1 in the EnOS ARM github repos about 1/2 hour ago. Should start updating remote mirrors shortly.

manuel · November 1, 2025, 9:22pm

Version 25.10.5-1 has new options related to pagers:

--pager-nano uses nano as a pager, so the pager window has
help included.
--pager-less uses less as a pager, see man less for more info
--pager uses one of the installed pager apps or apps via user-defined variables EOS_RANKMIRRORS_PAGER or PAGER.

If none of the options above is used, then the output will not go through a pager but simply displayed directly.

See also: eos-rankmirrors --help

Tip: an alias like:
alias eos-rankmirrors='eos-rankmirrors --pager-nano'
might be useful.

Hope this helps.

I’ve been noticing a lot of updates recently. Thanks so much for the continued work on this, @manuel.

manuel · November 1, 2025, 11:21pm

Thanks! I find it pleasant to do this with good and reasonable input from the community. And there’s always improvements to make.

cactux · November 3, 2025, 8:57am

Would you please take a look here:

manuel · November 3, 2025, 9:08am

Thanks!
This is now fixed in welcome version 25.10.3-1.

manuel · November 3, 2025, 4:36pm

There has been reports about a missing file /etc/pacman.d/endeavouros-mirrorlist.
If the file is missing on your system, update the EndeavourOS mirrorlist with these commands:

sudo touch /etc/pacman.d/endeavouros-mirrorlist
eos-rankmirrors

ricklinux · November 3, 2025, 9:33pm

I think it would only be missing if users are copying over the pacnew files? Or something?

Edit: Or is there another reason?

manuel · November 3, 2025, 9:38pm

There was a bug, Welcome didn’t check if rate-mirrors was installed. Still Welcome tried to use it when user pushed the new rate-mirrors button, and that could result in deleting the existing eos mirrorlist file.

smokey · November 4, 2025, 4:42am

Thanks for still working on this, a handy tool.

See nothing wrong except it wanted a password and you didn’t provide.

Bit hazy so might have missed something here.

cactux · November 4, 2025, 8:23am

Do you use the password for your root account or your user account? It seems to be asking the password for su and not sudo. A bit strange as I would suppose sudo should be sufficient for this.

manuel · November 4, 2025, 11:12am

As @cactux noticed, it requires root password, not user’s.
The reason most likely is the setting of EOS_ROOTER in file
/etc/eos-script-lib-yad.conf, you could change it from su to sudo.
