      You have a newer version of mkfontscale installed than is in the 2.4.4 pkg repo.
      What is the history here? Was is set to 2.5 at any time?

      You must remove that first:

      pkg delete mkfontscale-1.2.1

      However it may have pulled in other things, it might be easier to re-install 2.4.4p3 at this point to be sure it's clean.

            Humm, that can have a couple of billions of reasons.
            ( I include/use the fact that you have/had packages version on your system that do not exist for pfSense 24.4-p3 )
            What about telling yourself, and us, the reason why.
            Look in the logs ... ;)

            Showing that info raises the chance some one can actually answer your question.

            No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
            Edit : and where are the logs ??

                You enabled it first in Diag > ntop-ng settings I assume?

                Where are you seeing it not start? More info needed!

                  @stephenw10 Yes, i did.

                  Also earlier i had a big issue that made my whole pfSense get fucked up by installing this script:

                  https://github.com/gozoinks/unifi-pfsense/blob/master/install-unifi/install-unifi.sh

                  I have tried factory reset the pfSense before from GUI, but i can still see the script installed on it when i restart the server from the ibterface it saya something about unifi.sh stopped. What happened when i installed that script is that i could not enter the interface, the unifi controller tried to boot up instad on 10.0.0.1 so i did edit all lines in the script so it didn't boot up. But im not sure how to remove it the righr way. I can't risk locking myself out since i bought a watchguard xtm 5 with pfsense on it and i dont have any serial console if i lock myself out to access the server.

                  Where do i find more logs about it not starting?

                    Ok, it could be anything then. It's clearly pulled some packages from that 3rd party repo.... no clue what might have been broken.

                    You need to get a serial console cable and re-install clean.

                      @stephenw10 So you can't reinstall clean from the interface at all? Like i can access SSH..

                      Fuck. Then i need to flash stuff and everything, i bought it with pfSense on it. Nothing else we can try? Where do the logs show up for services not starting?

                          Errors would be in the system log. Try starting it from Status > Services and then checking the log.

                          You should really have access to the console anyway. If you ever get locked out of the GUI you will need it.

                          Are you running from CF card or SSD? You could potentially reinstall in something else and move the driver back.

                            @stephenw10 I'm no tech expert but i know the BIOS is very locked down and i have a CF card with pfSense that i saw inside and it's also a SSD disk in it.

                            It seems like nothing happens thats new in the system logs when i try to start it. This is my latest logs:

                              My logs was sorted wrong, so this is the error:

                                But really I would recommend you just don't install ntop-ng until you have re-intalled.

                                    @stephenw10 said in Install ntopng conflict:

                                    /usr/local/share/ntopng/scripts/

                                    You don't appear to have that. Which seems to agree with the error you have.

                                    Apart from ntopng, what is broken?

                                    I suggest you remove ntop-ng and concentrate on fixing whatever you need to until you can re-install.

                                    Put the SSD in a laptop. Install pfSense to it. Enable serial console. Move it back. Win.
                                    The does assume you have an em NIC in your laptop otherwise you would have to edit the config to match.
