Do I have a mirror issue?

MAYBL8 · 26 February 2022 14:19

I haven’t had any updates for a few days.
Is there anything I need to check on my system:

[demo@manjaro ~]$ inxi -r

No, that would not have prevented your system from “seeing” the updates.

Yochanan · 26 February 2022 19:59

Never update (-u) without syncing (-y); Never sync without updating.

Always use:

sudo pacman -Syu

MAYBL8 · 26 February 2022 20:00

ah I think I was doing -Syy not -Syu
and then -Su

linux-aarhus · 27 February 2022 08:28

When your first mirror is not labelled OK - you will have to change the order of the mirrors.

Run

sudo pacman-mirrors -f && sudo pacman -Syyu

stargazer · 27 February 2022 09:00

Assuming no other problem, try either:

Option	Command	Documentation
1	`checkupdates`	`man checkupdates`
2	`pamac checkupdates`	`man pamac`
3	`pamac` GUI	wiki

OOOpppsss…

The second command should be pacman not pacman-mirrors, thus the errors. The second command doesn’t recognize those options (-Syyu).

Side note: The 2 commands do not need to be chained together with && ( and). It just means if the exit status from the first is 0, the next command will execute.

pacman-mirrors is going to update files (i.e., /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist) on your system with similar content that is shown at https://repo.manjaro.org/. pacman will use those locations to download packages to /var/cache/pacman/pkg and then verify, extract, install the software.

wiki documenation

But you can also view the manual pages, man pacman or man pacman-mirrors to verify the options before executing. Using pamac GUI might be more convenient if you don’t understand the command line yet.

Going back to the OP, I believe Manjaro is suppose to have an automatic update notifier. I have my own setup, so I have no experience using it. But perhaps someone could chime in (or search the forum) — then you don’t need to do anything in-between updates When you are notified, just read the Announcement for any issues that might impact your particular installation on your particular hardware, and then install.

ouch - that happened twice today - the typos

MAYBL8 · 28 February 2022 13:21

thanks for all the info. I have allot of reading to do.
System seems to be updating fine now.
Not sure if it was updating mirrors or something else but thanks.
I will mark this as solved.
