Hi,

Thank you for reading this, and for the help.

"error: failed to synchronize all databases (no servers configured for repository)"
pacman -Syu or anything won't work.

I'm not able to use pacman at all with a fresh WSL2 version of Athena OS. I have even tried uncommenting some more servers than what were already uncommented at stock install. My WSL2 Kali works just fine (outside of seamless mode not showing the toolbar, which I cannot figure out how to fix [any help there would be much appreciated, and thanks if so]). I'm having to use a VPN to connect both of these WSL2 apps for them to work with Wi-Fi from the mall, but they work fine with my raw hotspot connection.

Kind regards,
TofuWand

Hey. Probably your mirrorlist is empty. Try to give a look to the contents of files inside /etc/pacman.d folder

Hi. Thanks, but I already mentioned that servers exist, and that I even uncommented some more. I have played around with all the mirror text files.

Experiencing a very similar issue for the last day or so with pacman -Syyu.

@AbstractObsession edit /etc/pacman.conf, replace athena-repository by athena and run again sudo pacman -Syyu

This fixed one issue. Now when I run sudo pacman -Syyu I get the following issue:

Change the content of that file by:

Thank you so much!

Now sudo pacman -Syyu is working perfectly.

Many thanks.

Thanks. I put it off for a while, as you see.

That issue occurs when a mirrorlist file is empty. If BlackArch mirrorlist is empty, it means that something in your connection is preventing to reach BlackArch mirrors.

Hi, again. I've tried various things to fix the ping issue, since it won't ping anything but my local IP address. I tried flushing DNS, disabling firewall, changing the traffic settings in Hyper-V Manager, turning off and on some stuff in Windows Features, changing the nameserver (which won't let me edit it now that I did a remove of it), etc.

I did plenty of searching through threads.

Where are you from?

Do you recognize SM SUPERMALLS, or just curious? I'm in the Philippines, but I'm from Miami, FL, America, born and raised (I'm happy to have left infamous Miami lol).

What about you?

I needed this info to understand if your govt could block some connections. If you visit https://raw.githubusercontent.com/BlackArch/blackarch/master/mirror/mirror.lst you get an issue or you can see the content of file?

Interesting. Yeah, I've used multiple hacking OSs before, bare metal, and in VMs. I've had issues with BlackArch updates though before on BlackArch. I've also used Tor just fine here.

Yes, I was able to see the mirror list, nice.

So it is strange it does not work. Can you try to install Athena again (only in case you get the error during the installation), and if it fails, try to visit that link from Athena machine and also share with me /tmp/aegis.log?

In case you don't get error during the installation but you get it in your installed environment, run:

sudo rate-mirrors --concurrency 40 --disable-comments --allow-root --save /etc/pacman.d/blackarch-mirrorlist blackarch

and then check if the blackarch-mirrorlist file is still empty.

Thanks! I could try it again. Before I do, if I do, please see this:

Kali has the same issues. However, at least with Kali, I've been able to get Nuclei, and several other tools. They will connect, but not to the repositories, and not to 8.8.8.8 (Google), and other pings I do, other than when I ping my own IP, that I mentioned worked. I'm not sure if this newer information helps. I'm hoping to get WSL2 to work, since I have plenty of power on my new laptop, and I don't need to worry about browser tabs to run desktop-as-a-service, but I'll use that if this doesn't work.

Screenshot 2023-12-26 140659

If this newer information helps, then what might we do for any WSL2 to resolve these issues, outside of deleting, and reinstalling the WSL2 images.

Thanks!

Also, I started seeing this WSL connection/firewall yesterday:

I don't have a Nuclei issue. I'm just showing how it works fine with tools. If I were to use it properly, I'd enter options for Nuclei, but that was to quickly run it for an example. The WSL2 app images still do not work with databases/repositories though.
