pacman: connection timed out after 10000 milliseconds.

Hi: Every time I use pacman -S I get the following message:

Code:



error: failed retrieving file 'xxxxxxxxxxxxx' from mirrors.xjtu.edu.cn : connection timed out after 10000 milliseconds.

And for each package I must wait 10 seconds, irrespective of the package size. Worse: I was doing pacstrap /mnt base and, for each package, at least 10 seconds. A way to solve this?

pacstrap ends outputing this message:

Code:

ERROR: Failed to install packages to new root

I would think it's the mirrorlist and you need to update it.

Mirrorlist generator
https://www.archlinux.org/mirrorlist/

Pic 5 of them and replace the above file to /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

after that issue this command:

Code:

pacman -Syyu

You can also install package pacman-contrib this will give you mirrorlist rankings by speed

If you install that package Pacman -S pacman-contrib backup the mirrorlist

Code:

cp /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.backup

From there you can rank them by running this command:

Code:

rankmirrors -n 6 /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.backup > /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

what does this have to do with pacstrap?

pacstrap outputs the same messages as pacman.

I generated (www.archlinux.org/mirrorlist) this list:

I live in Argentina. I must uncomment the lines hwich I think can be done with search and replace (vim). I left "use mirror staatus unchecked". Now I'll try to rank them by speed.

If it's not that then the second place you can look is your DNS settings.

Did you check /etc/resolv.conf ? did you try ping to actually see if you have internet access?

Of course I have internet access. pacman downloads every thing. Only that it waits 10000ms before actually downloading (it finds another url).

Code:

bill@darkstar/etc$ cat resolv.conf

From there you can rank them by running this command:

I replaced mirrorlist and no more connection timed outs. But when it checks package integrity it finds errors. Finally it says:

Code:

Error: failed to commit transaction. Errors ocurred. No packages were upgraded.

This in response to 'pacman -Syu'.

the command is pacman -Syyu not -Syu

I did 'pacman -Syyu' and got

and the same for other packages. Finally I get

What is wrong?

you could simply delete the whole pacman cache, then try again.
I'll put one on top:

Code:

pacman -Syyuu

maybe you still need to do something after that; i suggest reading https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pacman

You mean 'rm -r /var/cache/pacman'?

go to the reading that ondoho suggested and look for Cleaning the package cache

I did 'rm -r /var/cache/pacman/pkg' as ondoho pointed out. Then 'pacman -Syyuu'. The result was

Code:

And again 'pacman -Syyuu' gave the same result. I'll try to install djvu libre and see what happens.

I could install the package djvulibre without any errors.

Maybe reinstall Arch? Looks like a corrputed system.. did you check signatures before installing arch?>

I installed an iso image several months old and got the error whereby pacstrap did nothing. Maybe if I install a recent image then there will be no errors. Also there is the following, which applies to another machine:

As as running pacman -Syyu I got the 10000ms time out I ended up issuing ^C thus cancelling the command. Is it possible this is the cause of the error I now get and which made you tthink the system is corrupted? Thank you drillsar for your posts.

you supposed to check arch iso with signatures before installing to make sure it isnt corrupted.

Alright. I did

I hope this is enough (I already checked the md5 checksum).
