Tailscale service won't start, after upgrading to 23.01 on SG-3100

[mt835]

Firstly, I'll admit that I am just a regular user, not a programer but I have a question. I clicked on the Tailscale package dependency link which takes me to Freshports.org, and I am looking at the Arm7 version. Is it normal that the FBSD 14 version (1.34.2_1) is older than the FBSD 13 version (1.36.0)?

@mt835 I saw this as well and I even tried to manually install that older package and that didn't help. I am not sure if that is the issue that freshports doesn't also have 1.36 as the version for ARMV7 which is what is needed for the 3100.

If it is not resolved soon, I may have to request a iso to backout to 22.05.. But ideally would like to avoid that.

I decided to reinstall 22.05, so everything back to normal. I'll try the upgrade again once I have a clear idea that this has been resolved. This experience makes miss the ability to have ZFS and boot environments on the 3100.

@mt835 Thanks for posting this thread. Exact same issue here on my 3100.
I will try exploring some of the options provided here tomorrow but will likely go back to 22.05.

Yes I miss not having the ZFS roll back option as well.
Cheers

Did anyone get this working with their 23.01 upgrade on the 3100?

@wavesound I wasn't able to get it to work.

I saw a forum post about OpenVPN issues where the command kldxref /boot/kernel fixed a tailscale and OpenVPN issue. I tried it but it didn't work for me. Maybe someone else got it to work?

In the meanwhile I opened a support ticket at Netgate. I encourage everybody here to do the same, the more support tickets on the same issue, the quicker we will have a solution.

What does not work so far:
-Reinstall of 23.01
-the kernel solution
-the patch JimP mentioned: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/13963#note-4

you can open a support ticket: https://www.netgate.com/tac-support-request

@j_belmans Flooding TAC with tickets does less than you think it might.

Adding your experiences to the redmine will be seen by our engineers, like JimP, and that's where things happen.

@rcoleman-netgate That is not the correct Redmine issue. https://redmine.pfsense.org/projects/pfsense/activity?from=2023-02-27

No ticket currently exists and one should be added to Redmine for the pfSense package here: https://redmine.pfsense.org/projects/pfsense-packages/

@j_belmans (or anyone else in this thread): Have you heard back on your ticket, are they going to create a bug in Redmine or should we do it separately. I can't provide diagnostics since I NEED Tailscale running on my SG-3100 appliance.

Meant to post this link instead above: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/13963#note-8

@rcoleman-netgate I created the following issue. If others could add their feedback and log output, it would be much appreciated! https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/14064

[sabennett]

@wavesound
Done

[cmcdonald]

I've narrowed down the root cause, working on a fix now.

[cmcdonald]

Fixed and pushed to snapshots and 23.01. Look for Tailscale 0.1.2 in the package manager soon

[j_belmans]

@cmcdonald Many thanks!

[sabennett]

@cmcdonald Thanks!
Great video's you've posted as well, Thanks for those too.

We are working another issue that is presently blocking 23.01 package updates from being published publicly. I have attached the updated Tailscale package here for testing.: https://redmine.pfsense.org/attachments/4767

install with pkg add -f pfSense-pkg-Tailscale-0.1.2.pkg

[mt835]

I did install this package on 23.01 on my SG-3100, and it appears to have resolved the issue for me. Rebooted as well. Tailscale is running fine. Thanks

[cmcdonald]

@mt835 Thanks for the feedback!

[mt835]

No problem. Thanks for your efforts. If something changes I’ll post it.
