Upgrade from 12/13 to 12/18 -> PPPoE dead…

BlueMatt · Dec 18, 2010, 6:48 PM

I'd be willing to bet the problem is a result of the changes to etc/inc/vslb.inc, but I could be wrong…

No I was definitely looking at the diff backwards (undoing changes messes with your head), not really sure where the issue is at the moment. More debugging is required.

You guys had me worried but at one of my locations Im still on-

2.0-BETA4 (i386)
built on Thu Dec 16 14:34:04 EST 2010

Yeah but that seems to be a newer build…Will check that one....

When I used the same build (with git update), it didn't work, so clearly it does not plague all PPPoE users.
Rafael, can you comment as to whether the PPPoE link is your primary WAN and any what type of link it actually is (DSL, etc).
Also, chpalmer, would you mind upgrading to see if the problem does effect you as well. The date might help narrow down exactly which commit caused the problem.
Sadly, I am on vacation and can't debug the problem myself. If anyone has an extra hour or two, might they revert to Monday's snapshot and apply each git commmit from there to see when the problem occurs?
Otherwise can a dev comment as to what might be causing this?

Tried again with pfSense-2.0-BETA4-4g-20101218-1051-nanobsd-upgrade.img.gz snap but it didn't work. Also tried a firmware default and then just adding the PPPoE settings with no luck…

Will do just the same with pfSense-2.0-BETA4-4g-20101218-2216-nanobsd-upgrade.img.gz now. But the weird thing is that after my upgrade also my other slice with the before working config never worked again...
I hope I do not have to open my box again to do a full fresh install. Any hints on how I can do a really fresh install otherwise? By booting into the other slice? Is that possible?

jlepthien · Dec 19, 2010, 10:07 AM

Weird. Did another reboot with my box on standard config with PPPoE and it works. Just wanted to boot up in order to update to latest snap. Will do so now and then restore my config. Will tell you guys if it works…

sburgiel · Dec 19, 2010, 10:10 AM

PPPoE was working for me in build Fri Dec 17 14:14:00 EST 2010. It stopped working (mpdxxxx errors in the PPP log) when I updated to build Fri Dec 17 23:56:27 EST 2010. My only WAN link is PPPoE with DSL, and I have reverted to the earlier (working) build.

jlepthien · Dec 19, 2010, 10:39 AM

Ok. Does not work for me when I restore my config then. Actually I also tried some older configs…

Here is what I get when booting. Some weird errors:

Warning: chown(): Unable to find uid for root in /etc/inc/config.lib.inc on line 833
done.

Warning: chown(): Unable to find uid for admin in /etc/inc/auth.inc on line 411

Warning: chown(): Unable to find uid for admin in /etc/inc/auth.inc on line 422

Warning: chown(): Unable to find uid for nobody in /etc/inc/rrd.inc on line 686

Warning: chown(): Unable to find uid for jle in /etc/inc/auth.inc on line 411
done.

Also saw a panic when it first booted with the restored config. Another reboot and it doesn't panic anymore but still the other errors occur and no PPPoE…

So there seems to be something really wrong with my config backups. That makes me quite afraid that there could be something wrong in the backup system. I will now update to the latest snap and then try to restore section per section of the config and see where it breaks.

I also have my graphs in my config…

jlepthien · Dec 19, 2010, 11:48 AM

Hmm. Tried to restore part of the config but nothing changed…I tried to restore interfaces first, rebooted but no change at all. Stays on default IP on LAN etc...

Tried to restore aliases and nothing....

jlepthien · Dec 19, 2010, 3:07 PM

Tried again with latest snap from 12/19. Blank config with just PPPoE enabled so that my internet connection works. Tried just restoring the aliases from my config files but they do not appear on aliases. Nothing there. Did a reboot then but still nothing. I can see that it was imported under Config History though…

rafael.cardoso · Dec 19, 2010, 9:42 PM

BlueMatt, I'm using pppoe as the WAN interface, it is an ADSL actually did an update for version 1.2.3, but the initial boot camp the username and password were blank being filled to function normally again :)

jlepthien · Dec 20, 2010, 1:20 PM

Can anyone from the dev team try to import my config? Just to see if it will work?

Thanks…

eri-- · Dec 20, 2010, 4:45 PM

Try this manually
https://rcs.pfsense.org/projects/pfsense/repos/mainline/commits/92a1c8e6caca910ae1f8c54751bffebd45d87682

or wait for a snapshot with the patch applied.

jlepthien · Dec 20, 2010, 4:59 PM

Thanks ermal, but the PPPoE is working now. I meant if someone could check why my config is not importable not even just some parts like firewall rules or aliases. Tried with older configs as well…
Would hate to start from scratch...

jlepthien · Dec 21, 2010, 4:22 PM

Tried again to restore just the aliases and the following shows up in my system.log:

Dec 21 17:17:46 pfSense php: /diag_backup.php: XML error: no aliases object found!

I have the following in my config.xml though:

So there definitely is a aliases part…

jimp · Dec 21, 2010, 7:18 PM

The errors you show are more indicative of a filesystem that has been corrupted. On embedded, you may try switching back to the other boot slice. If neither one works, you may have to reflash.

On a full install, you'd need to reinstall from CD but you should be able to use the "Rescue install" option to pull your config from the hard drive (Or just do a fresh install and restore your config as you mentioned)

jlepthien · Dec 21, 2010, 7:56 PM

Aha. So you think my config would work on a new flashed install?

jimp · Dec 21, 2010, 8:06 PM

It might, but if your filesystem is corrupt there is always a chance that something in the config could be corrupt as well.

So while it is more likely to work with a freshly flashed CF, I can't say for certain it would.
