Installation Issues {Online and Offline}

First Online. It freezes at 36% {the pictures/info thing still moves just the progress bar does not} and I get this error “The package manager could not make changes to the installed system. The command pre>pacman</pre returned error code 1.” {with pre in <>}

I’ve tried multiple Desktop Environments and all were the same.
here is the logs from my last attempt https://termbin.com/hcg3

Now Offline my issue is with updating, First I click update mirrors that goes perfectly fine then I click Update system {in the Welcome screen}. Logs of that after the package list is here {Y or n on the replacing is the same even tried reinstalling to test that}

there is nothing to do

I’ve tried a few things I read on the forums to fix the jack2 issue {like removing it} but it added a new list of issues. I’m using a Ryzen 1600X CPU and GTX 980TI GPU {I did select Nvidia/Proprietary}

If there is more info I can supply please let me know and possibly how to supply it as I am kinda new to linux

first off all welcome here :enos:

The packages used for offline installation on ISO are already a bit older and the conflict is there because of this, but easy to resolve and common to need to solve such little issues from time to time.

The log shows that it was not able to create a mirrorlist and it was not able to download any packages.
Could be a very slow internet connection or that it uses default mirrorlist and this was causing timeout on fetching packages.

I tried that on a previous install {forgot to mention sorry} but just tried again

sudo pacman -Syu pipewire-jack lib32-pipewire-jack
and
sudo pacman -Syu

did the same as previously until I ran

sudo pacman -Rdd jack2

Then I start getting the error below

Also before I forgot to mention this as well the Online installer did work fine a couple days ago I just borked something {researching on it seemed it was an nvidia problem} and went to reinstall

And thanks for trying to help much appreciated

sudo pacman -Sc
sudo pacman -S archlinux-keyring
sudo pacman -Syu

yes fine. Hopefully the Next ISO release will bring a lot of improvements. and the systemd.backlight@service daemon is enabled by default in future releases. I only have a problem with the backlight. every time I shutdown or restart the brightness always returns to 100% and is very annoying at night.
ok i will wait for the upcoming release and do a clean install.
