Error upgrading from 22.05 Release to 22.11 Development

[stephenw10]

Hmm, I suspect you are in a state somewhere between the two. Did you still have the dev branch selected when you ran the upgrade a second time?
Try running freebsd-version -kur that should report the same version for all three.

freebsd-version -kur

I did another try now. This time I've uninstalled all packages, then switched to devel, went to option 13, it asked for pkg bootstrap -f
I did that and then again to the option 13, and it upgraded to the
23.01.a.20221111.0600
I've restored the configuration only for package manager.
The branch selection is now empty, but on the dashboard it shows

[stephenw10]

Hmm, was that instance upgraded from CE previously?
The branch selector will show empty like that if the NDI shows as no longer valid for some reason.

You shouldn't ever have to manually run the pkg bootstrap like that. Did you try upgrading through the the gui first?

Yes.

No, I did not. I went to the console first, just did it out of habit... This bootstrap thing... I don't think it really needed, because it does not ask it every time I've tried to upgrade.

[stephenw10]

Hmm, well if it's still not showing you any branches it's because the server doesn't recognise the NDI for some reason. Has it changed?

[w0w]

@stephenw10
Perhaps I should clarify that the original version was CE 2.6, updated to 22.05, as you know, you have to update twice on 22.01 and then to 22.05. If now, for example, you have installed the latest CE 2.7 and trying to upgrade it to Plus version, you will get a downgrade effect like on the picture

If you try to do the such an upgrade, it will break your installation completely.

If you try to update the version 22.05 in console, you end with 23.01 version, but no branch appearing after upgrade.
NDI is still the same, and I can install packages and check for updates,

That make me think that some internal branch is selected somehow.

I'm trying to do a webgui upgrade now (I still haven't went thru it since two weeks ago when we were talking about this) but all I see now when I go to System -> Update is "unable to check for updates". Do you know what's causing this?

[stephenw10]

@kevindd992002
Run pkg-static -d update at the command line and see what error it returns.

Yes, upgrading from CE 2.7 to Plus is not supported. Yet.

[w0w]

Yep. Something new today.
Installed this build and was able to install pfBlockerNG-devel...

Ahh, I thought the wrong OS version fix was already incorporated in the GUI update process. So I run these?

pkg-static -o ABI=FreeBSD:14:amd64 -o IGNORE_OSVERSION=yes update
pkg-static -o ABI=FreeBSD:14:amd64 -o IGNORE_OSVERSION=yes upgrade -fy pkg
pkg-static -o ABI=FreeBSD:14:amd64 -o IGNORE_OSVERSION=yes upgrade -fy pfSense-upgrade

[stephenw10]

Yes, since you still appear to be running a 12.3 kernel you will need to run those first to allow it.

Ok, so I just upgraded everything and reinstalled the packages (uninstalled before the upgrade and reinstall after the upgrade) and now I'm having issues with freeradius. The settings are all intact but my clients cannot connect anymore. I see these in the logs:

Any ideas? Before the upgrade freeradius3 was at 0.15.7_33 and now it's at 0.15.8_1

[stephenw10]

There are a number of known issues with the Freeradius package. You're probably hitting this:
https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/13631

Oh crap, you're right. I can see that /usr/local/etc/raddb/users is empty.

[kevindd992002]

@stephenw10
It looks like this is the cause of the issue:

https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/13642

Since it already has a commit, does that mean it's aleady deployed in the 2.7 snapshots?

[stephenw10]

That is in current 2.7 snapshots, yes.

Steve

[kevindd992002]

@stephenw10 then that means it is not the cause of the issue. I just upgraded to today's snapshot and it still did not fix my credentials issue with freeradius.

[stephenw10]

Right, I wouldn't expect it to. 13642 is just tat specific PHP error. Like I said it looks like you're hitting 13631, which is actually a duplicate of: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/13628 and that's still open.

Steve

[kevindd992002]

@stephenw10 I understand but @jimp mentioned 13628's root cause "might be" the same to that of 13642's and 13642 is solved already so I thought they have the same solution. But yeah, 13628 is still open so I guess I'm out of luck.
