Title: Fresh install on new box
Post by: Mundan101 on December 24, 2018, 07:11:38 pm
I did a fresh install on a new i5 16gb 128gb mini Co, yes l know of er kill, but the web GUI takes about 20-30 seconds to load.  Once loads it’s fine however even on refresh of the page takes a 20 seconds or so.

So far everything else seems to be fine.

My other installs the GUI loads pretty quickly.

Hello,

IIRC, I encountered a similar behavior with pfsense, it's more prevalent when the machine is not connected to the internet. I suspect this is due to update check or some hostname lookup during first page request.

Regards

I found the same problem.
I was using firefox on a linux system to access the web gui and it lagged bad always. Changed to Konqueror and it's zippy fast and no lags at all.

Have you tried changing browsers?

it connected to the internet, still has a lag...

When you request the IP address, it has delay, after losing in, takes a few more seconds to pop up, then the initial shell page pops, then it takes a few more seconds to pop up the stats.

Any type of reloads or clicking into different sections causes a delay.

Yes I tried Firefox, same issue.

I traditionally use safari.

Hi,

i expected same behaviour since i have VLAN's configured.
When i push the login-button after, lets say 5 secs again, the initial page appears immediately.

I am using chrome.

That is weird, I've never encountered that issue.
Even one a install without WAN connection the webGUI runs just fine.
I just that setup with VM's sometimes.

Do you think its a problem with the appliance?

I am also getting the LAN in pack errors as well, but seems like thats potentially common at times.

That is not nice. What brand are the NICs?

Doubtful that is the issue then.

Can you try installing on another drive?

That's my next option...The unit has a Msata HD already in there.  Going to throw another SSD HD and see what happens.

Have you done a memory test? https://www.memtest.org/

yes memory and hd returns find on tests.

I am going try a clean wipe and reconfigure everything manually to rule out issues with my config.

Then try a different HD.

Then I'll try a different interface

Hopefully can figure it out...

Then set it and forget about it.

Try a different browser first!

Some have been finding the browser to be the culprit. Firefox for me. Changing to something different and everything was snappy and fast.
Was worth a try for an easy fix.

A fresh install and new config seem to have worked.

Getting 26 packet errors on lan out of 46gb, very minimal...but gonna try a different nic interface to see if that eliminates that to rule out hardware.

With normal internet traffic at home you shouldn't get packet errors, imo.

Below is from my bhyve VM using Intel i350 NICs for WAN and PS4Pro, and a lagg of two Broadcom BCM5720 NICs for LAN.
The Intel NICs are PCI passthrough to the VM.
Uptime is 7 days 3 hours atm.

changed the interface to another Nic on the machine and so far so good...passed about 20GB of traffic no errors.

What brand is the NIC? Thought you mentioned it before, but I'm missing it.
Title: Re: Fresh install on new box
Post by: Mundan101 on December 31, 2018, 12:41:31 am
they are intel..

So far 50GB of traffic through a different port/interface for LAN, 0 issues.
