2.1.5 widescreen patch - multiple columns on dashboard

Gerard64

I have tried it and I am still getting an issue where the Help tab is right below the System tab. Is there any way that I could just remove help for the time being? This is preventing me from accessing option on the System menu.

Go to /etc/inc open globals.inc and find "disablehelpmenu" => false, and change it to "disablehelpmenu" => true,

Did and upgrade from 2.1.4 to 2.1.5

Reinstall the tar ball, widescreen is back but there is no Add/Delete button, so I am stuck with 2 columns display

I had the same problem, and it's ongoing. If I hammer the F5 key quickly twice, my original 4-column layout appears. A single F5 refresh puts it back into dual-column mode. Totally bizarre.

RonpfS

Nice trick … twice F5 bring back the buttons :o ;D

F5 and CTRL-F5 doesn't do it :(

Like I said, totally bizarre. But it works consistently, so at least there's that.

Since the last reboot … no more issues with the widescreen patch, I always get 3 columns display ;D

Ah, well there you go. I haven't rebooted since the 2.1.5 upgrade.

@charlie0440:

If your issues with the menu wrapping on pfsense (not caused by the patch but code adding in 2.1.5). Go to system > patches and apply this commit:
https://github.com/CharlieMarshall/pfsense/commit/2b5c16b9c6ee3dcb9a1333b44949f48024eb3cd0

I do not have this option under system
I use pfsense 2.1.5

Where it goes ?

Maybe you need to install the Package System Patches.

Thank you

My pfSense file system is read-only. When I ssh to the machine and select shell, I am in the root directory, but obviously not a root user. Note that I bought a Stonegate firewall with pfSense 2.1.5 pre-installed.
I am new to pfSense but not new to ubuntu.
Any suggestion?

–-------------------------

Update that may help other people : the file system was read-only so I had to remount it in the shell with rw enabled. Then I could get the new them and apply it.
Do not forget to reboot the machine afterwards so that the ro is in place again for added security.

I have no idea what your post has to do with widescreen patch. But:

pfSense is built on top of FreeBSD (not Ubuntu)
It is all configured from the webGUI - so do not use the shell to change anything unless you know what and why you are changing it.
"disk" can be switched between ro and rw and back with:
/etc/rc.conf_mount_rw
/etc/rc.conf_mount_ro
No need to find the right mount commands yourself, no need to reboot to put it back.
Diagnostics->nanoBSD also has a button to switch to RW then switch back to RO.
