Scripts and mirrors are not working properly

I’ve been trying to run Zodd18 Dotfiles script. But it always fails It worked on the previous versions of Endeavour OS. Here is what happens when i run the install script.

Here is the dotfiles I’m trying to install:

I solved the script issue by removing pipewire-jack package. But the mirrors are not working on my device. It works just fine on the VM but on a device the mirrors are really bad. Any idea on how to fix it?

sudo pacman -R jack2

and run again and there is nothing wrong with eos please see this latest thread:

I removed pipewire-jack instead of jack2. But it worked…

Here is what happens when i run a sudo pacman -Syu on a fresh install of EndeavourOS
And the networks speeds are really bad on Arch mirrors.

This is happening after removing pipewire-jack and running sudo pacman -Syu.

A couple of things come to mind - all of which have been covered on the forum before. You need an update to the archlinux keys, you need to run rate-mirrors arch (for better mirror performance) and (as you noted, the conflict with pipewire-jack and jack just requires removal of one of them. As an aside here, if you copy and paste the text off your screen (between sets of three ` ) it is MUCH easier to see and understand your difficulties! Screenshots are not good for the purpose, if only for eyesight reasons!

sudo pacman -S archlinux-keyring
sudo pacman -Syu
should solve the key issue
