2.3.3-RELEASE-p1, "Unable to check for updates"
-
Hi!
I'm running 2.3.3-RELEASE-p1 and I'm receiving the error "Unable to check for updates". On System -> Update -> Update System the Current Base System and Latest Base System are both blank.
Reading earlier forum posts, I can resolve DNS addresses using Diagnostics -> DNS Lookup. The command "pkg update -f" returns "Child process pid=7286 terminated abnormally: Segmentation fault".
Hardware is Netgate SG-2440.
The system has run for 1+ year and repeatedly updated successfully using the dashboard.
Any tips / suggestions?
Thanks!

A more general reflexion : only packages (hence that why you posted in the package forum)
or is pfSence not updating nothing, including itself ?I'm running 2.3.3-RELEASE-p1 and I'm receiving the error "Unable to check for updates". On System -> Update -> Update System the Current Base System and Latest Base System are both blank.
pfSense can't connect by itself to the net, that one problem … many threads about that issue.
But that it can't detect what it's current (own) version is .... wow .....Consider it brain damaged.
I vote for a re install. -
@garyn - give it a try

Hi Bismark!
I appreciate the reply and I have read the thread that you pointed to several times. Could you provide just a little bit more verbiage about what actions I need to to take? I attempted to download pkg-1.10.1-b9adc75209.txz, but failed. Sorry, pfsense has worked so well that I'm still pretty much a novice for flying manually.
Thanks!

Login via ssh and go to the Shell:
pkg-static install -f pkg
if pkg still throw a sqlite error about wrong version, you need to fix it first:
pkg shell CREATE VIRTUAL TABLE pkg_search USING fts4(id, name, origin); pragma user_version=33;
if not just skip this step and update from cli with option 13.
Good luck.

Hi Bismark!
Thank you for the explanation. From the shell I'm getting the following error:
Child process pid=21815 terminated abnormally: Segmentation faultScreen shot is attached. I'm not seeing the image posted into this message.

Another screen shot:
-
Child process pid=21815 terminated abnormally: Segmentation fault
Re install.
Also : check your hardware. -

I have been searching for a fix to this as well. I have very similar symptoms (at the update screen level anyway), a little different hardware though (Protectli Vault, which I think is similar other than the CPU to a SG-2440).
When I try an update though, I get connection refused errors…I can resolve hosts fine from the shell, so I don't think it's DNS, and I have no proxy or anything configured between it and the Internet.

Sounds like a reinstall may be needed for me?
@garyn did you resolve your problem?
Thank you!
