No System Updating?

After trying (and loving) EndeavourOS on virtualbox, I decided to install on bare metal. All seemed to go smoothly, except Kalu gave a message about not accessing a web site, but it seemed to start quicker that the wifi. I followed advice from the forum to put a 10 sec. delay on starting Kalu. Since then (and its been several hours) both Kalu and running pacman -Syu from terminal said nothing to do. When running on VB, it seems there were more frequent updates. I expected more messages or updates. Is it possible I’ve accidentally disabled a source mirror?

Here is my mirrorlist, endeveavouros-mirrorlist files

There is also mirrorlist.bak and mirrorlist.pacnew files. Just not sure what to look for to make sure everything that should be there, is there.

Any help/education would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Welcome,
You are correct on kalu trying to update before the wifi is connected so the delay is the right action to take. You have the latest kernel and pacman is reporting nothing to do. It’s probably up to date as when it installs it is usually.You could install reflector-auto and set it up.
