Can't Update - krfoss.org

Issues & Assistance
1

I just tried updating and it was taking a long time, hanging on retrieving, until Cachy-Update aborted with too many errors from krfoss.org. I ran cachyos-rate-mirrors and tried again with the same results. Any ideas?

2

I’m also having issues with any mirror I try.

3

do a cachyos-rate-mirrorsthen try again.

I just had to do it because I was having same problems.

As others have said .. if you have trouble with mirrors then one of the first things would probably be to sort or rank them.

For whatever it is worth krfoss is an Arch mirror and not a Cachy one.

(Though our systems should be using both.)

As I mentioned in the OP, the first thing I did was to run cachyos-rate-mirrors with the same results.

I don’t know why an Arch mirror would be in my list, I haven’t manually edited anything that would add it to my knowledge. I’ll run another rate mirrors and try again. Should I edit a mirror list somewhere and if so, with what?

All functional Cachy systems should be using both Arch and Cachy mirrors.

If you want to double check the repositories are correctly configured we could look at the /etc/pacman.conf file.

The mirrorlist files populated by the ranking tools (qnd what you would use if you wanted to, for example, manually comment out a mirror) would be at /etc/pacman.d/*mirrorlist.

I just did another cachyos-rate-mirrors and Cachy-Update completed.

Thanks everyone.

@cscs Thanks for the info. How would I check if the repositories are correctly configured?

It depends on multiple factors what exactly it would look like.
They are not all the same. v3 or v4 for example. Some only have [cachyos] on top of arch.

But if you showed the file we could see.
Otherwise I guess you could compare to the instructions/examples here;

@cscs Here’s my /etc/pacman.conf

# REPOSITORIES

I’ve got 4 mirrorlists in etc/pacman.d/

cachyos-mirrorlist

cachyos-v3-mirrorlist

cachyos-v4-mirrorlist

mirrorlist

Do you want me to paste their contents?

I’m not sure why I have a v4 mirrorlist, my CPU is a Ryzen 7 3700x?

P.S. Sorry, I’m a little slow and focus is fuzzy after my chemo today.

No worries. Seems fine to me even if it has an odd number of empty lines.
