Just moved from windows to manjaro and i cant seem to get package manager to work.
apps seem to download until it gets to the keys part and it fails.
i figured it was a keyring issue
i followed the pacman troubleshooting error of keys
but when i ran
mkdir -pv $HOME/.cache/pkg/ && sudo pacman -Syw archlinux-keyring manjaro-keyring --cachedir $HOME/.cache/pkg/
in the terminal it tells me
:: Synchronizing package databases...

???
i did step 4, after step 5 and it said this
loading packages...
error: '/home/user/.cache/pkg/*.tar.zst': could not find or read package
went to manjaro system manager to make sure the clock is correct.
i did sudoedit /etc/pacman.conf and changed the siglevel to ‘Never’(yeah its risky but nothing was downloading)
how can i get the keys to get package manager to work?
i appriciate all the help!
