Otherwise, you have to set the mirrors. So go to https://archlinux.org/mirrorlist/ and select the best location to you, then in the file /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist you paste the content you got when clicking Generate List at this site I mentioned before

Then run sudo pacman -Syyu to update everything and then try install your apps again

Thank you!

So far I’ve determined I’m definitely not connected to internet.

Unfortunately i cannot seem to connect.

I’ve tried iwctl, and also nmtui.

I dont know if I’m describing this right but both connect without error for a bit. But the second I go to use the WiFi it disconnects.

Edit: rebooting after connecting seems to have solved it.

confirm you can connect via ethernet. It sounds like you can.
Check available WiFi networks with nmcli device wifi
Connect with nmcli device wifi connect <ssid> password <password>

If nothing is listed in #2 then you need to install drivers for your WiFi. Check the arch wiki for how to identify which wifi card you have and what AUR package is needed. Installing an AUR package without internet will be an adventure so I recommend jacking in for that.

Well, this is strange…

You said you’re using both iwctl and nmtui, and maybe that’s the issue, cause you’re configuring 2 distinct apps to handle your connection and I think they can conflict with each other

Choose 1 and disable the other

For example, let’s suppose you wanna keep iwd, so enable it with

sudo systemctl enable --now iwd.service

And disable NetworkManager

sudo systemctl disable NetworkManager.service

Reboot your system

However I suggest you to take a look at https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Network_configuration
