Failed to fix blackarch

Hello Team,

this is my first post to this forum and i tried my best to avoid it but everything i found and tried failed so far. From the wiki to the forum entries and so on.

i was unable to post my full statement here with all i have tried because of forum-regulations. New users cannot post more than 5 links. The logs and system summary’s are full of links or what the system thinks is a link. So i will follow up with a second post to this one. Here are the system specs as required.

part 2:

So, the signature was not updated yet.
This happened just the other day to another user.
Temporarily comment out the BlackArch servers and wait some time seems the way to go.
It’s in /etc/pacman.conf.

I’d look into those failed units meanwhile (nothing to do with BlackArch).

For the next time use the </> button or the ~~~ “code tags” for posting terminal text, thanks:

it looks like this and is more readable

P.S. do not try to hack me, OK? LOL

Beginners never use the forum search :smiley:
and make an unnecessary amount of work for themselves and others.

Maybe it’s better if he corrects it right away :slight_smile: so that future smartphone users don’t scroll themselves to death.
