Updates via terminal

Hi,
When i run sudo pacman -Syyu, i run into synchronisation issues. None of the mirrors work. Can someone please remind me how to fix the mirrors.

Hello, could you post pacman output? You can try refreshing mirrors using the refresh mirrors tool. If that doesn’t work, you can edit the mirrorlist file (/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist) to use Geo mirrors or mirrors selected for locations near you. For manually picking mirrors, you can use Arch Linux ARM mirrorlisting page at: https://archlinuxarm.org/about/mirrors

sudo pacman -S rate-mirrors
rate-mirrors app allows you to automatically get the newest mirrors and sort them
sudo rate-mirrors archarm --allow-root --save=/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

Also take a look at this. this could also be the issue you are experiencing

Thank you for the quick reply. I followed the steps to edit the config file and it worked. Thanks again!
