[DeCex]

"Enable Firmware Update" button.

Same here, click then nothing. Just hangs.

Im doing an automatic update right now…

[jimp]

This should be fixed now, or at least in the next available snapshot after this post. A fix went into the repo a while ago, but you may have to use auto-update to grab it, or do a console upgrade.

[DeCex]

still hang with:  pfSense-Full-Update-1.2.3-20090705-2031
                  : pfSense-Full-Update-1.2.3-20090706-1212

file, lets wait for next build  :)

Issue still exists with pfSense-1.2.3-20090707-1317.

I was wondering about this too since I thought I fubered the firmware update from the latest snapshot this morning.   I am going to do a manual update via the console tonight.  Let me know when the next snapshot fixes it.

Thanks.

[Darkk]

Well, I tried doing the update via console with no avail… any ideas?

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mark_subsystem_dirty() in /etc/rc.initial.firmware_update on line 47

[jimp]

There were some more commits that went in tonight that might fix this.

[Darkk]

The auto-update didn't work for me.  Is there a way to fix /etc/rc.initial.firmware_update file so it can get the manual updates?

[chpalmer]

latest /pfSense-Full-Update-1.2.3-20090708-1827.tgz came up with a fatal error.  I had to start over from iso. I didnt write down the errror- sorry!

[chpalmer]

Regarding the broken update…  http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,17573.0.html

[strafelife]

Seems to be fixed, with pfSense-1.2.3-20090710-1120

[Darkk]

Glad to know the latest snapshot fixes it.

However, how do we fix our broken updates?  I tried manual update via the console and it gives me this error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mark_subsystem_dirty() in /etc/rc.initial.firmware_update on line 47

I really hate the thought of complete reinstall via a ISO CD as I like to keep the traffic logs and stuff.

You can copy a "good" /etc/rc.initial.firmware_update from a working system, CD, etc on top of that file on a broken system. There are any number of ways to do this (scp, edit file in the gui and copy/paste, etc)

Still have not run …    :)

I'm having problems even with the newest updates.  I'm going back to the stable ones for now.
Looks like the snapshots site is down for 1.2.3 anyways.

[fastcon68]

I just installed XenServer 5.5.0 and I am running snapshots.  I was able to recover for a failure in just about 10 seconds.  I converted a snapshot to a template it's running great.  I can create a snap prior to doing a update and can recover very quicky if it blows up.

Bah!! Wish I seen this before I wiped the hard drive with a fresh install.  Ah well

Nice catch tho.
