Code: [Select]
omniverse is up to date
error: failed retrieving file 'omniverse.db' from mirrors.dotsrc.org : The requested URL returned error: 404
error: failed retrieving file 'omniverse.db' from mirror.clarkson.edu : The requested URL returned error: 404
error: failed retrieving file 'omniverse.db' from ftp.ntua.gr : The requested URL returned error: 404

Are these servers all down?

Doesn't work for mirrors...eh.

I guess that's wrong configuration for omniverse in your pacman.conf. Omniverse has its own mirrors. Check https://wiki.artixlinux.org/Main/Repositories#Omniverse.

That is where I copied from to place in my pacman.conf and mirrorlist.

pacman.conf
Code: [Select]
#[system-gremlins]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[system]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

#[world-gremlins]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[world]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

#[galaxy-gremlins]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[galaxy]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[omniverse]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

mirrorlist
Code: [Select]
# Artix mirrors
# Use rankmirrors(1) to get a list of the fastest mirrors for your location,
# e.g.: rankmirrors -v -n 5 /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
# Then put the resulting list on top of this file.

# Default mirrors
Server = https://mirrors.dotsrc.org/artix-linux/repos/$repo/os/$arch
Server = https://mirror.clarkson.edu/artix-linux/repos/$repo/os/$arch
Server = http://ftp.ntua.gr/pub/linux/artix-linux/$repo/os/$arch

# Omniverse mirrors
Server = https://artix.sakamoto.pl/omniverse/$arch
Server = https://eu-mirror.artixlinux.org/omniverse/$arch
Server = https://omniverse.artixlinux.org/$arch

Mirrors for omniverse need to be in pacman.conf in omniverse section just like in wiki article. Not in mirrorlist.

I followed the pattern in the config files. I didn't realize this required a unique method.
I'll reorganize them and check the difference.

And rankmirrors does not work:

Code: [Select]
$ rankmirrors -v -n 5 /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
bash: rankmirrors: command not found

Did you install it?

rankmirrors
Code: [Select]
$ sudo pacman -Sy rankmirrors
:: Synchronizing package databases...
 system is up to date
 world is up to date
 galaxy is up to date
 omniverse is up to date
error: target not found: rankmirrors
Notice, there are no mirrorlist error messages. :grin:

Rankmirrors is in the AUR.

It's provided by pacman-contrib (https://packages.artixlinux.org/packages/world/x86_64/pacman-contrib/).

It's easy to get confused.
pacman-contrib - rankmirrors
AUR - rate-mirrors

All the cool kids use rate-mirrors 'cos it's rust, rust baby, has extra bloat, and only needs 187 dependencies compiled from Cargo.

Oops, sorry. Yes, you're right. I found aur/rankmirrors (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rankmirrors) with paru and didn't doublecheck. Mea culpa.

If I click it, will it spawn an XSS exploit that lets them pivot to the router and cameras?
There was a parody of a Rick Ross song called 'I Eat Snacks.'
I could parody that with 'I Click Links'.

It is working. Updates like it should. "In the Omniverse, you keep what you download. It is the Pacman-monger way."
Do you think AI can generate an image combining Pacman and a Necromonger?
edit:
Installed pacman-contrib and ran rankmirrors, then put it at the top of the list.
Success.
That should clear up some of the speed management issues.
