Mirrorlist down, and Reflector not working

General system EndeavourOS installation

Hi! I cannot update my system at the moment and here is the output that comes from trying to run updates through just the yay command:

:: Synchronizing package databases…
endeavouros is up to date
core is up to date
extra is up to date
multilib is up to date

Things appear to be working with the pacman commands, but yay appears to be having issues.

okay, so when I ran the updates through pacman, it appears to make things seem working, but Im not sure if it actually fixed anything. When I try updating things through yay now, there is no errors, but there is also no loading bar that usually appears even with no actual updates needed

Looking at your errormessage it seems that the server mirror.quantum5.ca is (temporary) not available. So you could comment it out in your /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.

update your mirror list over welcome app and try again… or use the button on welcome “eos-update” after saving ranked miorrors.
