All these404? How come?

So, as I read https://forum.artixlinux.org/index.php/topic,3009.0.html

sudo nano /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

and I hashed # all non hashed.
Then

sudo pacman -Syu
:: Synchronizing package databases...
error: failed to synchronize all databases (no servers configured for repository)

I don't understand this!

What can I do so that I can update the system.

P.S. Unfortunately had to install pamac and enabled AUR. (but I mainly depend on pacman)
Tried to install google chrome in pamac, didn't work

Code: [Select]

Server = https://artix.wheaton.edu/repos/$repo/os/$arch
Server = https://mirror.clarkson.edu/artix-linux/repos/$repo/os/$arch
Server = https://us-mirror.artixlinux.org/$repo/os/$arch
Server = http://www.nylxs.com/mirror/repos/$repo/os/$arch
Server = https://mirrors.nettek.us/artix-linux/$repo/os/$arch

Try those servers in /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist and commenting out all Servers is the reason for last error.
For the fakeroot error after fixing mirrors: pacman -Syy ; pacman -Su ; pacman -S base-devel

Thank you @ndowens
It worked.
I'll appreciate if you can just hint briefly (because I am so curious about Artix):
- what are those commands?
- How come all these servers give 404?
- Are the repos you listed Artix or Arch? Would it be OK to add Arch repos (what links)?

Thank you very much.

Unsure why those mirrors gave 404, though assuming they may not exist anymore. They are Artix repos. pacman -Syy forces resync, pacman -Su is just upgrade but you could have done pacman -Syu as well. Arch's mirrors go in /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist-arch

That was really strange that all these give 404!
