Ive tried everything I know, but not having any luck.
It connects fine before before install. Something is going wrong after install. I enabled AUR in the settins and refreshed mirrors. Ive tried other distros in Manjaro and get no issues.
Thanks
What did you try, what was the result?
What is connecting fine?
Where did you enable AUR (I assume in Pamac but it is not a guess game)?
That just doesn’t make sense, unless you try to run other distros in Manjaro with VirtualBox or the like.
Provide logs so we know what you’re talking about.

Welcome to the Manjaro community!
No need to do that, and not recommended if you use Pamac for all updates.
For AUR stuff, pamac search -a will find packages and you can use e.g. pamac build packagename. Or to upgrade all AUR packages (once you’ve already updated your system) use pamac upgrade -a.

i did enable it in panmac
the aur was connecting fine in preview before installation
what i tried was trying to update keyrings. i heard Arch had that issue
I did not try distros in VB these were all in fresh install on ssd
It may help if you provide the results of cat /etc/pamac.conf — here’s an excerpt of mine (for brevity):
$ cat /etc/pamac.conf | grep -i aur

You can see how awkward your post looks, right?
Format it as preformatted text → this symbol: </>
never do selective updates
always sync the whole system
What did you actually do?

- AUR is Arch User Repository
- the mirrors does not host any of these scripts
- AUR is a huge cookbook with recipes
- recipes to package applications not in the official repositories
- AUR is unsupported - that goes for Arch Linux and Manjaro Linux
- Do not enable Pamac AUR update checking
- it may lead to a extensive memory use
- on systems without swap it may lead to system freeze
If you cannot make it work - please do learn how to use AUR - the Arch way … please see
Warning: AUR packages are user-produced content. These
PKGBUILDs are completely unofficial and have not been thoroughly vetted. Any use of the provided files is at your own risk.
– Arch User Repository - ArchWiki
Due to the huge popularity of Pamac - even for non-manjaro systems - the Arch Linux aurweb team had a hard time dealing with the thousands of request that Pamac produced - sometimes taking aurweb to it’s knees.
To read more about that, see → - [Need-To-Know] About Manjaro and AUR
That lead the Arch Linux aurweb team to do an overhaul of the aurweb backend - providing a database which can be downloaded and searched offline.
Manjaro runs a service that provides that database. The database is downloaded from AURweb at regular intervals and provided to users via a CDN77 (Content Delivery Network) thus releasing the pressure on the aurweb backend.
This comes with minor drawbacks - the offline database may not always reflect the actual state of the aur buildscripts.
The database may be inaccessible for some or if in the middle of a sync inside the CDN network it may be less accessible - could cause timeouts - certificate errors has also been spotted.
The good old Arch way still works flawless - so my advise to you is the one you don’t want to hear - learn the Arch way - read the short version → Applying CUSTOM packages

I think that’s the problem:
#CheckAURUpdates
Without hashtag → good
No, this setting is only to check for updates on AUR packages. The only setting you need to enable AUR in Pamac is
## Allow Pamac to search and install packages from AUR:
EnableAUR
We don’t know what the actual problem is, the user didn’t provide any relevant info yet. Still waiting for a log of his actions, and the result.
It very well may have bee my SSD. I did a reformat of the SSD and then reinstalled Manjaro KDE. Its all working now. Im sorry for my noobness. Im still trying to figure everything out. I do appreciate the help and suggestions everyone
Most likely not.
Seems there’s connection issues to AUR in general. Yesterday git pull got through, while browser returned 502. Now pulling returns with inability to connect, Failed to connect to aur.archlinux.org port 443 after 41 ms: Could not connect to server.
Edit: Right as I post this, the servers seem to be back online 
Edit: Spoke too soon, still seems to be unreliable…?

We could have known with a log of his actions, unfortunately it’s too late to know what was happening on his side.
