FreeBSD 15?

@stephenw10 Yea, but its a old version.

I prefer to install from ntop repository to get the latest version.

I prefer to install from ntop repository to get the latest version.

With 24.03. ntopng has been upgraded from 5.6 to the current community version, which is 6.0. Unless you have paid for a pro or enterprise license, I don't know of a reason to use the pro/enterprise 6.1 installer. You just aren't going to notice much difference between the installs.

deanfourie

Hmmm ok ill update and use that for now then.

Just noticed when I try to install, I cannot install any packages. I have confirmed that I have removed the NTOP repositories but have not touched the pfSense repos. Any ideas whats up with this?

@deanfourie I saw a few Reddit posts with a similar error.

deanfourie

@SteveITS Interesting, a update from console seems to go fine.

However, still no access to to any package information.

Let me know if theres anything I can do to troubleshoot.

stephenw10

Try:

[24.03-RELEASE][root@7100.stevew.lan]/root: pkg search ntopng
ntopng-6.0.d20240102,1         Network monitoring tool with command line and web interfaces
pfSense-pkg-ntopng-5.6.0       pfSense package ntopng

deanfourie

@stephenw10 Yea nah, its all messed up.

Doesn't seem to want to install.

deanfourie

It installs, but none of the menu options appear in pfSense to manage it.

dennypage

@deanfourie it’s under Diagnostics. Historical reasons.

stephenw10

So you were able to see the package lists? How/what did you install exactly?

deanfourie

@dennypage yup, i know. But its not there

deanfourie

@stephenw10 yes, I was able to see the package lists,

I used pkg install ntopng

stephenw10

Ok well that only installs the ntopng binaries and non of the pfSense pkg stuff.

From the CLI you'd need to: pkg install pfSense-pkg-ntopng

deanfourie

@stephenw10 ahh ok yea that worked thanks,

Any idea why package manager is not working within pfSense?

stephenw10

Not really. If the backend pkg command work the gui should also be showing that. Can it see installed packages?

deanfourie

@stephenw10 no, it cannot see the installed packages or available packages.

deanfourie

@stephenw10 Is there a way to downgrade to the previous version?

stephenw10

If it's installed as ZFS you can just roll back to the previous BE.

Try running: pkg-static -d update

It shouldn't make any difference but that's what the backend actually uses.
