      Still happens all the time! Is there a ticket open for that? Who can fix that and what info do you need in addition?

      Thanks…

        Hi there,

        still having this issue ALL the time when updating to a new snap, so I need several reboots before the system is up again! This happens for avahi and nmap packages! Who can fix this? Do you need any more info than that? We are close for a RC but with troubles like this I can hardly call it RC…

          Avahi is the most likely culprit. It needs some work on 2.0 in general, not just NanoBSD. The current way it's installed replaces some base system libraries with unexpected versions.

          Since it's really a problem with the package itself, and not the base system, it may not really hold back an RC. If I get some time I can look into Avahi. I haven't heard of a problem with nmap on his own, just Avahi, and in one case I also had an issue with siproxd but I didn't get to track it down all the way yet.

            When I installed nmap I couldn't access the WebGUI anymore until I rebooted…

              Do you have a serial console attached? It would be nice to know what kind of messages you see there when this happens.

              When I had issues it was just a bunch of repeated sig11 errors that scrolled on indefinitely.

                Yeah, I get that error when installing nmap/avahi….

                Here is what I need to do with EVERY update:

                • Update
                • Reboot
                • 500 - Internal Server Error
                • Reboot
                • Diagnostics->Interfaces->Connect on PPPoE
                • Packages->none are installed anymore
                • Install avahi
                • 500 - Internal Server Error
                • Reboot
                • Diagnostics->Interfaces->Connect on PPPoE doesn't work anymore, interfaces goes up and right after that down again. Need to use save button on WAN!
                • Install nmap->error in system.log: Jan  5 15:12:18 voldemort kernel: pid 28656 (php), uid 0: exited on signal 11 (goes on forever)

                • Reboot
                • Diagnostics->Interfaces->Connect on PPPoE doesn't work anymore, interfaces goes up and right after that down again. Need to use save button on WAN!
                • Install Backup, Ubound and Shellcmd with no problem

                  There were a bunch of commits to the package reinstall process last night, and I just fixed an issue with Avahi just now. Next time you get a chance, update it again and see if the problems persist.

                    Okay. Will wait for the next snap to appear…

                      The one that's out there now still does have some issues, but I only tried it on an ALIX with siproxd installed. I didn't try it with Avahi.

                        Thanks. I'll wait for the next snap of 1/7 or even 1/8.
                        Thanks for your help, hopefully the issue will be resolved…

                          Actually waiting for tomorrow would be best. Some more commits just hit the repo and we think we got the bugs nixed this time.

                          With the current set of code and some changes I committed to the Avahi package, I was able to switch slices and have the packages sync without crashing.

                          So wait for the first snapshot dated after this post and it should be good.

                            Sounds good. So should I skip the one building right now according to http://snapshots.pfsense.com/logs/pfSense_RELENG_2_0__FreeBSD_8/i386/build.log ?

                              Yeah that one definitely wouldn't have all the commits. The last one hit the repo about 20 minutes ago.

                              So the next one after that which starts up should be OK.

                                Tried with snap from 1/8 and at least my PPPoE came up by itself. After the package resync there were only Shellcmd and Unbound installed. So I had to manually install avahi, backup and nmap again. At least I did not need any more reboots, so I guess we're gettin' closer now ;-)

                                Thanks jimp…

                                Edit: Now my iPhone on WLAN can't connect to my iTunes on LAN anymore. Is avahi working for you jimp?

                                  I didn't try to run/configure avahi, I just had it installed.

                                  It is a different version of Avahi, before it was downloading and installing Avahi from FreeBSD 7. Now it's really using the version compiled for FreeBSD 8. Any logs from Avahi that are interesting?

                                        Thanks jimp. Suddenly it started to work again. Mysteriously…
                                        Did nothing besides wait. Will have an eye on that...

                                        The only thing now is that my PPPoE does take too long to come up after a upgrade so the packages sync doesn't work that well. Today it only installed one of six packages (nmap) after upgrade to 1/10 but that's another story...

                                        Edit: Is there a reason why not all packages are listed when I run a pkg_info on console? Have avahi, backup, shellcmd, unbound, rrd summary and nmap installed, but the output only shows the following:

                                        expat-2.0.1_1       XML 1.0 parser written in C
libevent-1.4.14b_1  Provides an API to execute callback functions on certain ev
lua-5.1.4_5         Small, compilable scripting language providing easy access 
nmap-5.35.d1        Port scanning utility for large networks
openssl-1.0.0_4     SSL and crypto library
pcre-8.10           Perl Compatible Regular Expressions library
pkg-config-0.25_1   A utility to retrieve information about installed libraries
unbound-1.4.7       A validating, recursive, and caching DNS resolver

                                          Avahi is installed via a tgz archive, not a proper "package" file, and the other missing ones are only found in the pfSense GUI, not OS packages.

                                          pkg_info only lists properly registered FreeBSD packages.
