Okay so I just finished struggling through my archlinux install. I have arch Linux with hyprland now.
But I cannot figure out how to download anything.
At minimum i need a browser, and git. But I cannot figure out web downloads in kitty.
Edit: nmtui to connect to WiFi, and then a reboot solved it.
using
sudo pacman -S <filename>
I get a fatal error from every mirror it attempts to download through.
This can be 2 things:
- You’re not connected to the internet
- You need to properly set the mirrors
Try run ping www.google.com and see if you have connection. If you don’t you need to connect your PC to the internet
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.
