2100 Hangs @ Please wait while the update system initializes
-
@stephenw10 OK that's very useful to know. I just set the log to 2000 lines, copied it and attached. I didn't see any way to export it.
Maybe it wasn't hung and it's just taking much longer than I thought it would ?syslog61924.txt

Hmm, what was the timing here, when did you try to run the upgrade?
The first 30mins of that log it appears to be stuck in a loop reloading packages.
Then Suricata was installed at 09.28.
No real issues logged there though.
-
@stephenw10 I started the update a few minutes before 8. I had uninstalled Suricata before attempting the update and then reinstalled it after I abandoned the update. I just bought the 2100 from Netgate about 4 months ago and this is first time running pfSense, as you can probably tell.
-
Hmm, actually the logs can show more than that in 23.09.1 which I assume you're running?
Try setting 4000 lines and see if that includes the begging of the attempted upgrade.
-
@stephenw10Yes I am running 23.09.1 but I get an error when I try to set the log to 4000 lines. " The following input errors were detected: Number of log entries to show my be between 5 and 2000."
-
Hmm, disappointing I thought that change was in 23.09.1. You can still look at the log files directly in /var/log. The system.log file may have rotated but the old logs should be there.
Or just try to upgrade again and check the logs immediately.
But running the upgrade from the CLI is a better way to see what's actually failing there if you can.
-
@stephenw10 I was finally able to update successfully but now when I reinstall Suricata it won't start. I've deleted the package and downloaded it again. It's showing in the services status but when I click on the start button it just spins but never starts. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
-
What did you have to do to get the upgrade to run?
Check the System and Suricata logs when you try to start the service. If it fails to start there should be an error shown there.
-
@stephenw10 I didn't do anything different. I uninstalled Suricata, rebooted and then updated pfSense. I then reinstalled Suricata but when I try to start it it fails. I don't see a log for Suricata, system log show it's installed.

Suricata logs are in the package:

You don't have any instance selected there. Do you have it enabled on any interface?
-
@stephenw10 I assigned the LAN interface and I'm up and running. Thank you Stephen for all the help. As a novice I really appreciate your patience !

No worries.
