Pacman not functioning in Arch
Currently in a fresh install of arch linux and I have been trying to install some stuff with pacman. Every operation returns multiple errors such as no address record when using -Sy and unable to retrieve file when trying to install something. I have tried so many different configurations of pacman.conf and pacman.d/mirrors and none have worked. What should it look like, or how should I fix it? Currently running in virtualbox ose.
