On an Intel 1135G7 HP laptop, Manjaro Gnome:

I use this for now sudo pacman-mirrors -g -P https --api but I would like to limit the testing to my continent. FYI I am based in NL. Location Services is enabled in Settings (Weather via clock in notification bar works for example).

Did you sudo python ... or sudo pip ... ?

3

I just installed Manjaro Gnome on this laptop earlier this week, updated it afterwards and today ran this command. I did not install/customise anything yet.

Am I suppose to do something with Python before I can use pacman-mirrors?

4

No, just python error messages are usually related to wrongly using pip that way.

5

Some options are mutual exclusive and will throw an arguments error:

--geoip, --continent

Reference:

man pacman-mirrors
6

Could be temporary connection error.

What exactly is a “pything error”? Please edit your topic title to be more descriptive. Please see How to Post.

EDIT: I figured you mean Python. Thanks for editing it. :+1:

Still, --continent without -g does give me the same error:

sudo pacman-mirrors --continent -P https --api                                                                                                                      ✔

The issue seems to be limited to options that you want to use to not test all mirrors but only of a specific region, by using the continent or geoip options.

@Yochanan my apologies, that was a nasty typo.

urllib3.exceptions.MaxRetryError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host=‘get.geojs.io’, port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /v1/ip/country/full (Caused by NewConnectionError(‘<urllib3.connection.HTTPSConnection object at 0x7f75a9c6e1c0>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 111] Connection refused’))

–continent as --goip get your country, you have an error for this test and geojs.io no want your connexion (too much connexion?)…
Manual test:

curl https://get.geojs.io/v1/ip/country/full

You use a proxy for to have an error ???
if we use a proxy, result is not always good :wink:

9

I don’t use a proxy. But I do have AdGuard Home + Unbound running on my server, filtering out ads etc. Apparently, the most recommended filter list (https://abp.oisd.nl/) has ||geojs.io^ listed. That caused the issue.
By whitelisting that domain, it now works. No bug.

10

By whom? Just use AdGuard’s default filters.

11

On both PiHole and Adguard fora. The default list is nice but I still see ads on the sites I visit most often, unfortunately.

12

Well, if you want to use that list, submit an issue upstream to make the list maintainer aware of the issue.

13

Let get a more graceful exit on that one …
