    Is 23.05 pulled or did I break my SG-3100?

      It's still up.

      Try changing the upgrade branch to 23.01 and letting it sit there a while, then change it back to 23.05 and see if the check succeeds. You might need to reboot and let it check again after that.

        @matsan I was in the process of upgrading to 23.05 but it seems to have hung. Now I'm told 23.01 is "the latest" no matter what I try to do, even though I have the pulldown set to "Current Stable Version (23.05)". I tried toggling to 23.01 and back but that didn't change anything.

        When I go to package manager I'm told there are updates for Netgate_Firmware_Upgrade and System_Patches but when I try to install them I'm told "Another instance of pfSense-upgrade is running. Try again later"

        I don't see any upgrade processes in the process table and there's no relevant lock file in /tmp.

        I appear to be stuck at 23.01.

        (I just saw jimp's update, I'll try waiting on 23.01 for 15 minutes and then try again.)

          Try restarting. There's a decently long thread about the "another instance" message in the last week or so but I'd restart first.

          also:
          @cdsJerry said in Upgrading from 23.01 to 23.05 Certificate verification failed:

          entering the command prompt seems to have fixed the certificate problem. It's updating now. Fingers and toes crossed.

          pkg-static clean -ay; pkg-static install -fy pkg pfSense-repo pfSense-upgrade
          

          (referenced from https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/troubleshooting/upgrades.html#upgrade-not-offered-library-errors)

          Pre-2.7.2/23.09: 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 restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.

                @SteveITS well... I tried the quoted line and it said it was updating then rebooted (no intervention on my part). The base OS is ruining in that I can log in on the console but none of the pfSense-related processes are running. No networking is functional.

                  @nomad0 watching the reboot I'm seeing a bunch of XML parse errors. I'm thinking a reinstall is going to be necessary. I guess I get to go looking for instructions on how to do that.

                    @nomad0 That's unexpected. https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/solutions/sg-3100/reinstall-pfsense.html if you have to.

                    "ruining" is presumably a typo but in context...

                      @SteveITS thanks Steve. That's where I wound up.

                      Typo but yeah.
