Nothing as wrong looking as an empty beer glass
Does the below mean I am fine?
I do not have any noticeable issues ATM.

Very neat output.
TYVM for that command.
I donāt understand it (yet) but I like what it outputs.
I must have done the update already and missed all that nasty stuff.
Is it only affecting AMD gpuās?
Mineās an NVIDIA.
Once again folks are searching the repositories..
All you have done is shown that those packages exist in the mirrors.
Which you have installed would likely be of more interest.
And that could only be judged as more or less acceptable when compared to the hardware it is being deployed on.
If you dont care and have all of them then that would work too.
You see my avatar name correct?
I aināt a lying
TY very much for the correction.
Sorry, no worries..
There has to be some consternation or comedy when posting roughly the same thing for the third or fourth time .. we will go with comedy.
By the way - with either pacman
or expac
you can use Q
to query your local (installed) packages. ex;
pacman -Qs linux-firmware
The S
on the other hand refers to āsyncā - so it will sync information or whole packages from the mirrors. Like Ss
is search, Si
is info, and S
is just install - all āfrom the repositoriesā.
Thanks a bunch.
I actually read the thread more thoroughly after reading your reply and saw that command and did the below:
I only usually do the updates form the welcome window.
So, I am unsure whats going on here now that I am paying attention.
If I am learning anything about Linux, it is that there is closed source āblobsā that are provided by hardware venders for Linux to use alongside the opensource portion of the hardwareās ādriverā, in Windows lingo.
IS that what weāre doing here, upgrading drivers for hardware that has closed source portions or blobs to them?
IS blob and firmware words for the same thing?
If so, cool, if not more reading required.

You are not yet up to date.
If you believe that you already are maybe performing it will give us some clues.
Perform your regular
sudo pacman -Syu
What we would be doing is the regular update - which includes all packages.
In this case that includes firmware packages that provide firmware files and also require some manual intervention in most cases due to how certain things were rolled out at the same time other canges were made (its unimportant to go into here).
The āmanual interventionā is whats been outlined in the pinned announcement and the subject of this thread here - you will get the linux-firmware
meta package, which should also depend on and provide all the other linux-firmware-*
packages .. but you may encounter a ..file exists in filesystem
error and thus follow the procedure noted, namely;
sudo pacman -Rdd linux-firmware
sudo pacman -Syu linux-firmware
This uses the āignore dependenciesā flag while removing the firmware package (-Rdd
- this should just about never be used unless instructed), then a regular sync and upgrade while installing the firmware package again.
ah, ummm.
MUCH too late for that, my ADHD addled brain said to me just a few minutes ago, "go ahead and do it-if it gets borked reboot to Windows and come right back here and cry like a baby until someone helps you?
Apologies, I am super spontaneous and quite stupid sometimes on my own machines.
At work thatās not true-but I take a pill just before work and thatās about worn off now soā¦
Well, if I get an error Iāll post it before I reboot.
If it looks clean, Iāll reboot and one way or another Iāll post the results of that.
I am at 89/90 and then I should know.
It LOOKās like a FULL upgrade to me. I mean everything seems to be getting updated.
Always should be - partial upgrades are not supported.
Sorry, I got distracted by ChatGPT.
I have not yet performed the reboot.
My only concern is this right at the very end.

Seems to be some other unrelated thing..
( And it seems the general consensus is to just ignore it? )
And you will need to rebuild that librewolf package apparently.
perhaps thatās what the broken pipe is referring to? Librewolf needing a rebuild.
No, different things.
Do. Not. Believe. āAIā.
Thatās the best way to blow up EOS (or any Linux system).
Better believe @cscs and other knowledgeable people here. Or the Arch Wiki. Much better than second-hand Internet-collected hearsay.
This is a nuisance error. You can ignore it.
Iāve been OK so far with firmware updates, hoping thereās no issues with this oneā¦

EDIT: All is well.
ok ever since i did this update , i donāt like what i see when running yay.
and why is all this updating? i donāt need it ? itā taking forever
i never had mirror list errors before , nor did all that firmware update
The last week has been a mess of firmware updates and changes. Hopefully Arch Linux has its stuff together (for the moment)? Btw, firmware is definitely a needed component. Better to have updates that correct issues then no updates, right? Also, mirror errors have nothing to do specifically with Arch pushing out firmware updates.
