FreeBSD 15?

Not really. If the backend pkg command work the gui should also be showing that. Can it see installed packages?

deanfourie

@stephenw10 no, it cannot see the installed packages or available packages.

deanfourie

@stephenw10 Is there a way to downgrade to the previous version?

stephenw10

If it's installed as ZFS you can just roll back to the previous BE.

Try running: pkg-static -d update

It shouldn't make any difference but that's what the backend actually uses.

deanfourie

@stephenw10 Sorry, im trying to downgrade to 23.09.

Is it still possible to download a 23.09 ISO, or how do I do a fresh install of 23.09?

Thanks

stephenw10

If you upgraded from 23.09.1 and were running ZFS then it wil have automatically made a BE snapshot and you can just roll back to it.

The new Net Installer gives you the option to install 23.09.1 if you need to.

@stephenw10 Damn the new setup wizard sucks.

I need internet to install.
I cant change the WAN interface to use DHCP
When setting it as static, it wont accept my gateway.

Or am I doing something wrong?

deanfourie

@deanfourie Here what im doing,

Pluggin WAN interface into my LAN to use as a WAN upstream gateway for setup.
Trying to set the WAN interface to use DHCP, but doesnt seem to want to change from STATIC.

Keeps telling me

"Cannot reach the Netgate Servers, please verrify your network settings!

stephenw10

What are you seeing in the installer? Is your local subnet using 192.168.1.X perhaps? Could be conflict.

deanfourie

@stephenw10 no, its on a completely different subnet.

However, I cannot change from STATIC to DHCP on the WAN interface.

stephenw10

In the installer?

What screen are you at exactly?

deanfourie

@stephenw10 Ok I do apologize.

I was using a switchport in a vlan without DHCP.

My bad.
