      At the command line run: pkg-static -d update

      What error(s) does it report?

        Just a device ID nothing else. I tried to restore backup that didn't work. I ended up resetting it to the factory settings, and the problem is still there. It can't check the updates of the device, nor packages are available. When I reset I got at the end an error saying something like " it wasn't possible to identify whick pfsense kernel is installed"

        What else can I do?

        Thanks

          @mike_broxt I'd strongly consider reinstalling and restoring your backup file.
          https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/solutions/sg-1100/reinstall-pfsense.html

          Updates on slower storage can easily take 10-15 minutes but 30 seems long. Did you uninstall packages before the update? If not it still might not have been finished...

          Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
          When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to reboot, or more depending on packages, and device or disk speed.

            When you run that command you should see quite a lot of output, even when it succeeds:

All repositories are up to date.

            Yours will probably have a bunch of errors in there.

            Re-installing clean is probably going to be fastest though, I agree.

              I think that's the only option left I tried everything. Thanks for the tip for setting off packages before upgrade. Thanks

                Nope. I'm not getting anything. null. No tails, no errors, nothing.

                  Like it tries to run and has no output? Or it just finishes with no output?
                  Both would be very odd....

                    No output at all. When I press enter it goes to the the next line waiting for the command. Like nothing was entered previously. Like I typed CTRL + C. :)

                    I've submitted a ticket for the stable image. Thanks

                      Hmm, yeah, that's not something I've seen before then. Clean reinstall would be best.

                        @stephenw10 Thanks Steve! Everything is ok now. I've built a new image and restored my backup. Yeah you were right guys, it took at least 40 min to reinstall and update packages in the background. I wish I can monitor all background processes, to be able to understand what is happening behind the scene.
