Is hitting save an issue?
Yes
You can go to the gui and see you have the same issue but you cant navigate to your update settings and hit save. :o
…..
lol ::)
.....To answer your question I dont know of another work around.
-
I simply rebooted and the error disappeared. :o
-
I am still unable to check for updates, but more importantly…how do you do a manual update??
-
Have you guys check this sticky post: https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=109337.0
EDIT: Nevermind, just had the issue after the update ;)
EDIT2: Go in System/Update… Choose the Update Settings tab... Select the default value which is "Follow 2.3 snapshots........" and hit "save" then go back in "System Update" and it will say you are at the current version and it also fix the dashboard...
Hope this help

Nope! Still "unable to check for updates" error, and no way to update manually…nice!

If you're still getting that at this point, you likely have connectivity issues. First guess, the system thinks it has IPv6 connectivity and it doesn't, but could be any number of things. SSH in, option 8, run:
pfSense-upgrade -4
what's that get you?
-
wait-a-minute….I have pfblocker running and blocking all countries with only 4 exceptions. I think this could be it...be right back...
-
Ok..
PFblocker uninstalled. System rebooted. Still unable to update.
SSH into system, and as instructed, pfSense-upgrade -4 … This works!! System was updated. Nice!
However, I am still getting "unable to check for updates" in the Dashboard.
Again, system restarted and same thing. I am able to ping no problem to Yahoo.com, and others...
To recap, updating works via SSH Option 8. Does not work via dashboard, on my system anyway...
Jits..
-
Do you have IPv6 connectivity? Doesn't appear you have functional IPv6 but are preferring IPv6.
System>Advanced, Networking, check "Prefer IPv4 over IPv6". Reboot. Work then?
-
My steps:
- System>Advanced, Networking, check "Prefer IPv4 over IPv6" - checked and reboted (Does not work)
- I try update via ssh pfSense-upgrade -4 - Ok, system updated… But after refreshing my gui, crash reported:

ok..
Checked Prefer IPv4, rebooted, and still no joy… "unable to check for updates"
No crash report here...
One more note... this system was upgraded from 2.2.6
-
Doesn't matter whether it was upgraded. My next guess is the first server in resolv.conf isn't responding to DNS queries and the GUI doesn't wait long enough for it to get through the timeout and try enough subsequent options for it to work. What's in /etc/resolv.conf, and do all those IPs resolve beta.pfsense.org?
-
After I went to:
System > Update > Update Settings
and pressed save I was able to see update 2.3.r.20160406.1411_1
Once I installed it I haven't had the issue happen again.
-
ok..
after checking resolv.conf…
I have changed DNS servers to 8.8.8.8, and 8.8.4.4. Also, 127.0.0.1 will no longer be used for DNS.
Then, I am able to ping beta.pfsense.org and it does resolve to IP Address and ping replies.
System restarted. Still no joy...

Just had this problem and hitting save on the update page worked for me. If you were to gitsync (with a dev approval) could that help get around this issue?

@crisdavid:
Just had this problem and hitting save on the update page worked for me.
This worked for me as well.
-
Having this issue as well.
Hitting save in Update/Settings does nothing for me but updating via console works.
This is on a fresh install, nothing but the "setup guide" has been configured (except enabling TRIM via console)
