pfSense refuses to reboot
-
@Gertjan Sorry, you are right.
I logged in as admin, and /etc/rc.reboot worked.
-
Hmm, but I assume
/etc/rc.initial.rebootstill fails? -
Yes, as admin too. It gives me the same message.
-
Hmm, do you have a package that isn't installed correctly? It looks like it's trying to stop a service but failing to pass the name of that service.
-
@stephenw10
I have the following packages installed (pkg info).
I checked and reinstalled all packages over the GUI.How can check the list that is passed?
installedpackages/service (I guess it means the config file)
I have these:- vnstatd
- darkstat
- iperf
- avahi
- haproxy
- snort
- bandwidth
- ntopng
- named
- pfb_dnsbl
- pfb_filter
- tailscale
- wireguard
- arpwatch

Hmm, OK and the package manager doesn't show any of those as not installed correctly?
Is rebooting the only thing not working?
-
As far as I know everything is okay. Routing, DHCP, etc.
Yesterday I deleted almost every package and it still gave me the same error. I tried to check if there is any empty service entry in the config file. But nothing.
-
Hmm, yes uninstalling packages and retesting is what I would have done.
I can only think you have a bad or damaged file somehow. And if that is the case it would be very unusual to see it only affect one thing like that. I would probably reinstall 24.11 clean to be sure when you can.
-
@stephenw10 Thank you for your help. I will do a clean install during the weekend.
I had another thought. When I reinstalled my devices, I used my backup SG-1100. Now I have an N100-based mini PC. May some arm64 vs x86 package confusiosion?But a clean install is the best.
-
@hunor It will only download packages from the appropriate repo.
For grins, you could try reverting to the default configuration. If it still happens it’s not a config file problem. If the problem goes away you could restore your config file one part at a time.
-
Nope there should be no issue with an architecture change. The config is the same. The only think you might see is if you have some hardware specific system tunable. But there aren't any by default and they simply wouldn't do anything on different hardware anyway,
-
I'm unsure if this helps, but I got this when I tried resetting to Factory default.
I ended up wiping the SSD and reinstalling the whole system. I tried to import/restore the backup, but it failed again. So I did it piece-by-piece, without installing packages.
-
It failed the same way? Could not reboot after restoring the config?
-
When I applied the whole backup file. Yes.
When I did piece by piece (I think I left out the packages and a few others) and reinstalled everything package, and reconfigured it. It worked. -
Huh, so you still ended up with the same packages installed?
-
@stephenw10 Yes, except I didn't import the old config files.
-
Hmm, well that's bizarre! Are you able to replicate it with an example config at all? This feels a bug that needs squashing.
-
@stephenw10 Well, I can sanitize my config file and I can post it. Or when I have time I can replace the SSD in my system and "reinstall" it. It is my main router, so I need some time.
-
I upgraded last night to [24.11-RELEASE] on my Netgate 2100, and I encounterred the exact same problem.
PHP ERROR: Type: 1, File: /etc/inc/util.inc, Line: 123, Message: Uncaught TypeError: is_process_running(): Argument #1 ($name) must be of type string, null given, called in /etc/inc/service-utils.inc on line 295 and defined in /etc/inc/util.inc:123

-
@kravenul said in pfSense refuses to reboot:
and I encounterred the exact same problem
It didn't boot ?
You have this package installed :
and applied all 'Netgate' proposes patches ?
