Sorry for my english is not good.
Welcome to forums.
Is your internet connection working?
Yes, it’s right.
So it’s working.
Can you open the terminal and try ping -c 4 www.google.com
and then ping -c 4 www.archlinux.org
. Post both outputs here.
Yes: It 's result:
$ ping -c 4 www.google.com

And now, And the latest pictures:
If you got a functioning connection, you could try refreshing your mirrorlist manually from a terminal:
reflector --latest 5 --sort rate | sudo tee /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
When you get back the prompt:
sudo pacman -Syyu
Yes: It 's result:
error: failed to retrieve mirrorstatus data: TimeoutError: The read operation timed out
When you click “Update Mirrors” do you see a GUI like the one below.
When I click “Update Mirrors”, I see:
if it is an issue to reach archlinux.org there is an issue with internet connection i would bet… you can try increase the timeout on reflector…
--download-timeout 120
--download-timeout n The number of seconds to wait before a download times out. Default: 5
And now, the latest pictures:
What country are you in?
I’m from Vietnam.
How to try increase the timeout on reflector? I don’t know what to do… Thank you.
reflector --latest 5 --sort rate --download-timeout 120 | sudo tee /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
sudo pacman -Syyu
