From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

SOLVED - EOS not finding new updates (lemmy.world)

Okay so it’s been like a month since EndeavourOS has found an update to install. I’m running sudo pacman -Syu almost daily to update my system but it only find eos-* updates to install and nothing else. I know kernel 6.10 came out not long ago but my system is still on 6.9.*. What can I check? There’s no way EOS hasn’t had an update in over a month…

Edit: added screenshot. Just ran this and as expected, only one package found.

Edit 2: Refreshing the mirrors and ranking them did the trick. Thousands of updates waiting…

Ok, I'm not crazy. I've been thinking I haven't seen updates on my desktop in a while too, but my laptop has been updating fine. I just updated mirrors using eos-welcome as others suggested and now I've got a couple gigs of updates ready 👍

Did the trick for me too

My first thought is your mirror died.

I'd start there move on to gpg keys after checking that.

If that all still looks good, I'd probably still change the mirror for testing purposes.

Upsetting the mirrors did it for me.

Sometimes they need to be upset before they realise what they did wrong.

Hahahahaha didn’t even realize the typo. But yea I made them maaaaad!

Use welcome application to update mirrors and rank them.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Thank you! Easy fix

Seems like a your mirrors might be out of sync

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

How does this happen? This is my first EOS system. Ever since I finished up the setup and customization, I’ve not changed anything outside of updating it and using the system… I guess I’m just trying to understand the why

Run eos-welcome, and choose the options to update both Arch and Endeavour mirrors. Save the files when prompted. For Arch mirrors, either choose countries closest to you, or just sort by fastest in general

Yup! Working peachy now

Good to hear c:

When I have this issue (and that's quite often), I refresh the mirrors, do sudo pacman -Syy and then -Syu. Idk how to refresh GPGs so never tried it but that may help too.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

I will give this a shot when I get back home and report back

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

We need screenshot or anything, "Can you install any new program?" or "It shows all the mirrors (core, extra and multilib) when pacman -Syu?"

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Done. I uploaded a screenshot

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I certainly have been getting updates recently on EOS. Maybe try refreshing your gpg keys and checking your mirror list?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Okay I’ll give this a try when I got back to the house.
