24.1 Legacy Series / Re: New Install Will Not Update Past 24.1

IPv6 is the issue there:

Check Prefer to use IPv4 even if IPv6 is available and try again.

I tried your recommendation and unfortunately it did not resolve the problem. I am pretty sure that updates are being done via IPv4 and it is only using IPv6 for the connectivity audit.

I wish there was a way to set up OPNSense IPv4 only. I know it doesn't affect anything but I find all of the IPv6 automatic rules and other un-needed IPv6 features on a IPv4 only system annoying as it unnecessarily clutters the system.

Obvious reminder that the solution post was ignored here so far.

# pkg install opnsense

Thanks for the info. I haven't been ignoring the post - I just can't risk trying it during the week when there is the possibility of un-planned network downtime. Unfortunately, I have to schedule maintenance for Friday so that I will have the weekend to fix things if it goes catastrophically wrong.

That said, I am leaning towards re-installing. I used the current system to learn OPNSense, so it could be that something got messed up when I was fumbling around learning OPNSense.

Thing is, I don't see any DNS settings if you posted it...

I don't think this is DNS problem, since the output from update shows that it is successfully checking for updates:

What does a connectivity check say ?

I don't think it is a connectivity problem since the system is currently being uses as the firewall for my network.

And what mirror are you on in Firmware - Settings ? Try switching to another mirror and check for updates again.

I have tried all of the US repos and a couple of repos in Europe with the same result. Futhermore, four of my packages updated successfully today. So it looks like the update mechanism is working. My guess is that update is going to repos that have 24.1 as the latest release.

Not sure if this is the case. While I am somewhat familiar with apt on Linux, I have no experience using/trouble-shooting ports on FreeBSD.

Most likely, I will backup the config and re-install the system.

Unsure what DNS settings you meant to post...

I thought the DNS settings you asked about are the DNS settings in System > Settings > General. Is this not correct?

Try updating now, either in a terminal or GUI, and post here the full output.

Here is the output from System > Firmware > Updates.

24.1 Legacy Series / [SOLVED] New Install Will Not Update Past 24.1

« on: July 08, 2024, 07:48:11 pm »

I have a fresh install of OPNSense running on bare metal. When I attempt to update by going to System > Firmware > Update, it checks for updates the displays  a dialog stating "There are no updates available on the selected mirror.".  Checking the version at Lobby > Dashboard shows the version as OPNsense 24.1-amd64. I have tired different mirrors and get the same result.

Since it won't update I am unable to install the plugins I need via the GUI, but was able to install them from the CLI.

***DONE***
*** SOLVED ***
I attempted to update from the shell by doing the following:

Code: [Select]

pkg install opnsense
pkg update

The system would not update to the latest version and instead updated to the 24.8.1 version. Furthermore, after the update, the web gui was no longer accessible. I re-installed the system and was then able to update to the latest version (24.1.10_3).
