      Hello I am trying to update from 2.3.1 with the shell command of "pkg-static install -f pkg" But I am not sure how to get it to accept the "y" for yes as I am on the PFsense GUI I must be missing something.

      DiagnosticsCommand Prompt
      Shell Output - pkg-static install -f pkg
      pkg-static: Warning: Major OS version upgrade detected. Running "pkg-static install -f pkg" recommended

        Hi,

        Before typing a command like :

        pkg-static install -f pkg

        Type a command like

        echo Yes

        Did it show

        Yes

        ?

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

          @jonanddad said in Trying to upgrade from 2.3.1 issues:

          pfSense-upgrade -d

          The output only says this now when I added Echo yes

          Shell Output - echo yes pkg-static install -f pkg
          yes pkg-static install -f pkg

            I also tried echo yes first, executed it and it said "yes" then I ran the command and it said the same as before asking if I wanted to continue.

              Not like that.
              I was only checking if your "y" key on your keyboard is working.

              I presume you entered y or Y here :

              Proceed with upgrade? (y/N) read: read error: Socket is not connected

              and then you had the

              error: Socket is not connected

              message.
              Seems more like some network error, occurring when the upgrade starts.

              edit :
              I just ran pkg-static install -f pkg

You may need to manually remove /usr/local/etc/pkg.conf if it is no longer needed.

              As you can see, I hit "Y" and the install (downgrade ;) ) continued.
              Btw : I'm using 2.4.3-RELEASE-p1 - surely not the old 2.3.1.

              edit 2: check out the forum, and you will find many issues when upgrading from old versions.
              Keep it mind it will take a couple of seconds to download the latest pfSense version.
              Some more seconds to export your config.
              A minute or so to build a bootable USB stick.
              Some more minutes to install from the USB stick.
              A minute to have LAN working.
              A couple of seconds to import your settings.
              A couple of minutes for pfSense to re install your packages, if you have been using any.
              And your done.

              No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
