Hello,
I’m having problems to update the system.
error: failed retrieving file 'archlinuxfr.db' from repo.archlinux.fr : Failed to connect to repo.archlinux.fr port 80: Connection timed out
error: failed to update archlinuxfr (download library error)
error: failed to synchronize all databases
And for some reason i’m not able to post the whole outcome here at the forum.
[“No links allow in your post”] (?).
And … [“You can not embed media in yours …”]
Thanks.

keos:
repo.archlinux.fr
This is an unofficial user repository for Arch as mentioned here:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Unofficial_user_repositories#archlinuxfr
It seems to be down at the moment, that’s probably why you get the Connection timed out error.
You can comment the lines referring to this repository you added in the /etc/pacman.conf
file and try to update your system again.

Click on the </> button in the toolbar. You will see two lines of three backticks (```) appear. Paste the output in between those two lines.

Hi!
Did you able to update correctly?
If not, copy the error with Ctrl+alt+c paste it here
If it the same error, edit /etc/pacman.conf as root and comment the lines of that repo, like @bill_t told you before

Are you sure you commented the lines out?
You add a # sign in front of the lines. This is what commenting the lines out should look like:
# [archlinuxfr]
# Server = http://repo.archlinux.fr/$arch

@jabber there is another line too
SigLevel = never
do i have to comment this line too?
Look in your /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
and see if the server is listed there. If it is, comment it out.

Probably not, but you might as well comment it out too, just for clarity.

Do this:
If the output says there’s nothing to update, then you’re up to date.
