      I reinstalled, but the recovery of the configuration via config.xml in either the root or a copy on /conf (of a fat32 formatted USB stick) doesn't work.
      I had to configure wan and lan, connect an restore through the GUI.
      back to not being able to even get a list of available packages in the GUI. :/

      I just saw a noticed the little alarm bell is lit up:
      6d599b11-7eb0-409b-a2e1-60afc0008410-image.png

      The config file I restored had this for packages:
      <installedpackages>
      </installedpackages>

      What could have possibly re-installed?

        pfSense-repoc
        pfSense-repoc: failed to fetch the repo data
        failed to read the repo data.

        I really used to like pfsense but I really am starting to get discouraged.

          Speaking of disappointments, where do you file bugs?
          You can't position widgets on the dashboard at the bottom of a column.
          Widgets will only "stick" in a column above another widget.

            I should probably start another thread over this...
            I installed apcupsd using the cli.
            Installed nice and quick.

            Getting it to work on the other hand ...
            What's the magic?

            I have an APC RM 2200 connected via USB.
            I have no issues with USB connection (using the same cable) to linux desktop...

              What does pkg-static -d update show?

              Does the config actually contain any installed packages? I've never seen that report success when it couldn't reach the package server.

              How did you format the USB drive? I've noticed Windows will try to use some proprietary format if you're not careful.

                    No -- the config file looked like this:

                    <installedpackages>
                    </installedpackages>

                    I used a Linux desktop to format the 4GB USB to fat32

                      Ah, OK. Then yes the reinstall process completes as expected; no packages are installed. That obviously doesn't require pkh repo access so it succeeds.

                      Hmm, I would certainly expect a Linux created FAT32 stick to work. I use that process all the time. Perhaps the drive is not detected at all for some reason? If you connect it now do you see it reported in the system log?

                        I have just given up.

                        I can get the two packages I want installed from the CLI.

                        It would be really, really helpful if you didn't have to guess at package names at the CLI.
                        Is displaying the the actual package name in the GUI that difficult?

                        Try installing pfblockerng from the cli (if you don't already know the package name) to see what I mean ...
