Cannot update, cannot get proper keyring

18 March 2024, 21:17:31

Congrats: Just like other Arch based distros, just plain not working.
At least you did not lock me out of the laptop on reboots, at least so far.

Cannot update using the GUI tool: Fails to Commit
Tried with pacman: connot commit, cannot find keyring.
Tried running "pacman-key --init
Five possible keyrings were suggessed and accepted.
Tried to update again   "pacman -Suyy:  keyrings all corrupted
No update possible.

Hey, all good!
I'll just have to use the weekly "Mate" build from 2403 with no updates
as I try to learn my way around Artix.
The only Arch based distro that I ever used that was error free was Liya.

Hello Nathan3!


Have you tried to solve this issue in the method described in section 3.2 of the pacman wiki usage page?

Also linked in section 3.2 is this helpful blurb on performing a system time update.

Please report back and let us know if this is helpful.

Thursday morning: servers might be down since there were multiple errors in retrieving .db files.
"Cannot retrieve files from mirrors.dotsrc.org port 443, failed to connect

I'll try later.
I still have to read more from the forums and the wiki.

Thanks everyone for your attempted help.
I still have gotten nowhere in resolving my update issue.
But I have learned a lot and will continue the effort.
So All Good but I'll be continuing my effort off line
and will not bother  you guys too much (I hope)
Enjoy the weekend!
