Failed to synchronise databases (no servers configured for repository)

Hey there,

I just installed EOS, and I’m following the after install window. I created a new mirrorlist with the automatic detection but it seems it didn’t work, because when I tried to update the apps, I immediately get an error : error: failed to synchronize all databases (no servers configured for repository)

After making some research online, it seems that it can be a problem with my mirrorlist, but I can’t find something wrong, maybe you could help me. Here is the file :

Could you post: inxi -r and cat /etc/pacman.conf ?

You don’t seem to have mirros for EOS repo.

Put this file

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/endeavouros-team/PKGBUILDS/master/endeavouros-mirrorlist/endeavouros-mirrorlist

in /etc/pacman.d/

Seems to work

Thanks a lot !

This happened to me too, and I found out it was the “Update Mirrors (EndeavourOS, rate-mirrors)” button on the Welcome app that erased the contents of “/etc/pacman.d/endeavouros-mirrorlist”.

A recent change in welcome caused a problem if rate-mirrors was not installed.
Version 25.10.3-1 of welcome fixes this.
