Forgot to remove Bandwidthd before updating to 2.3

choodee

What's the best way to remove all traces of the bandwidthd from my system? I still see it under the Services Status Widget as being stopped and also under Diagnostics –> BandwidthD but get a 404 when I click it.

Thank you

I think this question needs to be more general:
Even though it said unsupported packages would be removed upon upgrading, that doesn't seem to have been the case.

On my remote system, to be on the very safe side, I removed all the now missing packages manually before the upgrade. That unit seems to work fine.

On my local system traffic doesn't flow, despite pass-all rules, I have remnants of olsrd I can't get rid of, and squid and related packages refuse to install.

What we need is a system cleaning package..,

I agree.

This is the problem I am faced with now. Bandwidthd doesn't show up in packages and wasn't uninstalled cleanly during the upgrade from 2.2.5 to 2.3 so a package manager would help in the future, however what can we do now to clean up the old packages now?

Thanks

You can cleanup any visibility of it:

Diag->Backup/Restore - download the config.
Keep the original config, make a copy of it on your local PC.
Edit the copy of the config, search for bandwidthd and delete those sections. You will likely find a menu section, service section and a package settings section. Be careful to cleaning delete whole "chunks" including balancing end tags.
Look in /usr/local/etc/rc.d for *.sh files and remove ones that are from old packages - like bandwidthd.sh (otherwise they will get run by the boot scripts)
Restore the edited config (the system will reboot and implement it)

That will get rid of the menu entry, entry in Status->Services and startup script.

There might be binaries for the actual package itself somewhere on the system, but I suppose they will do no harm if nothing ever runs them.

I also did not remove bandwidthd before upgrading to 2.3, however (maybe i am blind) i don't see any leftovers from bandwidthd on my system.

I had the same issue with BandwidthD and Vnstat2. I did the edit config.xml and restore thing, worked fine. I believe the obsolete packages are actually uninstalled on upgrade, leaving only the menu/services items in config.xml.

I think that was the case for me, it got uninstalled, as i did not see any errors.

I just tried to access the url to view bandwidthd, and it said doesn't exist.

went to pfsense, checke if the package is there, then i figured it out that it was uninstalled.

Thank you. this worked!.
