I wanted to install Hyprland on an old Medion labtop, but I can't get it to run. The arch install I am doing this on is basically fresh. I followed the tutorial on the wiki but the only info I can find for these errors have to do with nvidia gpu's, my laptop however has an intel igpu as far as I know. Below the crash report, if someone can help me out that would be appreciated.

Don't mind the Node name btw, I was feeling funny.

I made my first proper install yesterday, after messing around with arch in virtualbox about a year ago. It all went smooth except when I forgot, to set up a root password, luckily I was able to easily fix that.

However, now a new problem arose when I tried to update the system.

running pacman -Syu gives me an

error: failed to retrieve file 'core.db' from [Mirror], then a

warning: fatal error from [Mirror], followed by another

error: failed retrieving file 'extra.db' from [Mirror] for every mirror in my Mirrorlist.

So far I haven't messed around with the system much, exept for creating a user and trying to regenerate the mirrorlist with reflector.

reflector also only works in the chrooted environment, not when booting directly into the install.
