    @NRgia said in Suricata on Pfsense: @bmeeks Thank you for what you did for Snort or Suricata. I'm not sure what you want me to do on Redmine, due to is a bug tracker. My question is for Product Management, which I will ask it here to be public: What is the plan for these 2 packages, Suricata and Snort? Thank you Yes, Redmine is for both bug reports and feature requests. Asking for the Suricata binary to be updated to the latest 7.0.11 version from upstream is a legitimate Redmine request. I would suggest simply asking for the binary version update instead of asking about future Netgate strategy (such as the support plans for the packages). Strategy discussions typically don't get very far because they deal with proprietary information or plans that a company may not want to publicly discuss. Redmine is where the Netgate developer team tracks all the code changes they make for pfSense. They will see Redmine reports much quicker than a forum post.

    @Leon-Straathof Data retention settings are handled inside of ntopng. Documentation here. Pay attention to the RRD note. Also, if you've turned on some of the slice and dice time series information (is off by default), I'd suggest turning them back off. These balloon the storage requirements and are of little actual use.

    @jhg said in NUT fails to start after 2.7.2 -> 2.8.0 upgrade: Interesting. I would have thought the initial reboot, which occurred as part of the upgrade, would have done the trick, but it took a second reboot, just now, to get things working. Glad you have it sorted. There was no difference in the output of usbconfig show_ifdrv at any point -- before or after unplugging/replugging the USB cable, nor after rebooting. ... Question: What would tell me whether or not a driver was loaded? If there were an attached driver, it should have shown up with the show_ifdrv command. If you use the command and look at the other usb devices, I think they will show attached drivers. I don't expect to see a driver attached to the ups, because there is a quirk that tells the OS to ignore that device (and not attach a driver). Look for idVendor and idProduct in the above output. The Vendor ID for your device is 0764, which corresponds to Cyber Power Systems, and the Product ID for your device is 0601, which is registered as "PR1500LCDRT2U UPS" (don't sweat an exact match for the name). You can see the quirk with the following command: [25.07-RC][root@fw]/root: usbconfig dump_device_quirks | grep 0764 VID=0x0764 PID=0x0005 REVLO=0x0000 REVHI=0xffff QUIRK=UQ_HID_IGNORE VID=0x0764 PID=0x0501 REVLO=0x0000 REVHI=0xffff QUIRK=UQ_HID_IGNORE VID=0x0764 PID=0x0601 REVLO=0x0000 REVHI=0xffff QUIRK=UQ_HID_IGNORE [25.07-RC][root@fw]/root: Your device is third on the list. The HID_IGNORE quirk says to ignore the device and not attach a driver. @jhg said in NUT fails to start after 2.7.2 -> 2.8.0 upgrade: You might consider adding this resolution to the release notes for 2.8. LOL... sorry, I don't have input to the release notes (I don't work here). While I wrote and maintain various packages, including NUT, I'm still just a volunteer. Most packages are actually written by volunteers.

    @raidflex said in updating to acme 1.0 breaks system beyond repair: need to restore from backup: maybe uninstall Crowdsec when applying other updates first. It seems like it doesn't help at least from what I see on my system... it changes something.. so it must be definitely reported to their github. I have never experienced that before and crowsec was installed.. maybe with 2.8.0 something have changed

    Upgraded 25.07 and Tailscale is broken in the way users here describe. I can manually log in using sudo /usr/local/bin/tailscale login, but the tailscale service in pfSense does not pick this up and restarting the service clobbers the login state. Given 16004 was logged 7 months ago with zero activity, this is an indication that Netgate devices no longer support Tailscale.

  • BIND/Avahi/radiusd packages missing from 2.6.0?

    @johnpoz - both of those packages appear to now be in the "available packages" list. Seems odd that for a couple hours they (BIND/Avahi) were 'missing' from the list, but hours later appear. Following the commentary from posts about "install from scratch" (using the copy config.xml to USB for restore) - only impact was where those two packages were absolutely required. Interesting on the naming aspect. Under 2.5.2, made sure that all the packages had been on the latest version, prior to upgrade. Not sure if that artifact is useful. While a bit off topic - where BIND/Avahi weren't required, the process was flawless and (as others have noted) there appears to be a sense of increased performance. (Hats off to folks responsible) Thanks!

    The end result (that wouldn't involve recompiling my own kernel/drivers etc) was to simply change the VID/PID in the display from the out of box settings of 0x1b3d/0x0155 to the FTDI defaults of 0x0403/0x6001. You can do this with "FT_Prog" on another computer running Windows or you can do it with another computer using "ft232r_prog" on Ubuntu Linux..... sudo ./ft232r_prog --old-vid 0x1b3d --old-pid 0x0155 --new-vid 0x0403 --new-pid 0x6001 ft232r_prog: version 1.25, by Mark Lord. eeprom_size = 128 vendor_id = 0x1b3d product_id = 0x0155 self_powered = 0 remote_wakeup = 0 suspend_pull_downs = 0 max_bus_power = 500 mA manufacturer = MO product = LK202-25-USB serialnum = 01wwkXXX high_current_io = 0 load_d2xx_driver = 0 txd_inverted = 0 rxd_inverted = 0 rts_inverted = 0 cts_inverted = 0 dtr_inverted = 0 dsr_inverted = 0 dcd_inverted = 0 ri_inverted = 0 cbus[0] = TxDEN cbus[1] = TxDEN cbus[2] = TxDEN cbus[3] = PwrEn cbus[4] = TxDEN Rewriting eeprom with new contents. /tmp/MO/ft232r_prog-1.25$ sudo ./ft232r_prog --save MO-lk202-25.dump ft232r_prog: version 1.25, by Mark Lord. MO-lk202-25.dump: wrote 128 bytes eeprom_size = 128 vendor_id = 0x0403 <---- IT'S DIFFERENT NOW product_id = 0x6001 <---- AND THIS IS TOO self_powered = 0 remote_wakeup = 0 suspend_pull_downs = 0 max_bus_power = 500 mA manufacturer = MO product = LK202-25-USB serialnum = 01wwkXXX high_current_io = 0 load_d2xx_driver = 0 txd_inverted = 0 rxd_inverted = 0 rts_inverted = 0 cts_inverted = 0 dtr_inverted = 0 dsr_inverted = 0 dcd_inverted = 0 ri_inverted = 0 cbus[0] = TxDEN cbus[1] = TxDEN cbus[2] = TxDEN cbus[3] = PwrEn cbus[4] = TxDEN No change from existing eeprom contents. Once that's done, you can plug it back in to pfsense and the driver will pick it up and ugen will do it's thing etc.... You'll finally end up with all of the /dev/cuaU0 /dev/cuaU0.init /dev/cuaU0.lock things that you need in /dev/ that you can then use to point the webUI/lcdproc towards.

    Typically I believe the Netgate team expects a pull request against the appropriate GitHub repository. For packages, that would be ../pfsense/FreeBSD-ports available here: https://github.com/pfsense/FreeBSD-ports. There are some specific requirements in order for packages to work within the pfSense ecosystem. You can look over some of the packages to see what those are. GUI packages will start with the string "pfSense-pkg-*". Any underlying binary component is assumed to exist within the regular Ports tree of FreeBSD.

    @robert_knabe As far as I know, no one is complaining about the small file size handling capability of pfSense. The RRD files will still fit into the confiig file, and if logs are important (they are for me) an external syslogger shiould be used. But, why not, if you want, you can modify the php.ini file, as that's the way to change memory available to PHP. Two options : Write a small shell script that modifies the memory_limit if it doesn't contain the right value for you. Have this script started with the startcmd pfSense package. Use commands like 'sed' to replace a text in the file. You probably have to restart the PHP-FPM to take the new setting in account. Or, edit the php.ini file, and keep the old one. Create a diff file from these two files. Use the diff file and the pfSense patch package to patch the existing php.ini file. You will still have to restart php-fpm to have the modification taken in account. Both solutions will persist even after a pfSense upgrade. You could add a feature request, just keep in mind that it would be granted only if a lot of people are asking for it.

    @steveits Thanks again! Yes, if I configure System -> Updates to stay at 2.5.2 (DEPRECATED) I do not see any available updates for my apps. But when I change to 2.6.0 I see updates for some of the apps. Still not for all, but this should be not an issue as they will run anyways- because there is no red sign then. Ok, I think I got it! Thanks a lot! /KNEBB
