26.1 Series / Upgrade fresh nano 26.1 on usb...

Last post by mushymushy - Today at 04:46:11 PM

I have tried to upgrade an nano image on an usb stick. First i imported my settings and everything works, but when i try to upgrade from 26.1 it get stuck and after a while i get 403 forbidden so i cannot follow the upgrade. After two hours i gave up an hard reset and plugged in my older opnsense 25.7 that also refuse to upgrade but stops itself before it bricks the install. It is about 91 packages to update as of today.

Next i tried to upgrade the vanilla nano but with the same result and after an hour of no life i did a hard reset and with no surprise it is not booting.

Have no real debug or messages of what is failing. I wish i had a proper ssd to use instead of an usb but no old one and absolutely no money to get a new cheap drive i am stuck with my two usb sticks for opnsense.

What is a way to upgrade and get a readout what is actually breaking so it can be looked into? Any suggestion of a way to upgrade successfully?

Yes, I did not catch that. It is true that this particular bug is fixed, thank you.

Thanks for confirming.

I think you have uploaded the wrong screenshot ?!

Fixed in the post - thank you.

[Or at least scale the frame to the full height that is available?]

I know you're helping Patrick but it doesn't make things easier here. This is the first post:

Maybe we can get rid of the scrolling subframe? Or at least scale the frame to the full height that is available?

On my screen the firewall rules window uses about half of the available height, but I can scroll way down

This is the commit in 26.1.6:

https://github.com/opnsense/core/commit/0e999cc5a

OP asked for it but did not acknowledge its existence.

One of the reasons we ask for actionable tickets is so the requester can confirm that is what they wanted (or not).

Everybody else adding related context in this forum thread doesn't help progress the initial request anymore.


Cheers,

Yes, I did not catch that. It is true that this particular bug is fixed, thank you.

Still, the general problem of poor space usage remains. So I completely agree with Patrick on that matter.

The scroll bar I marked in red should not exist. The box around the rules should not exist. The rules table should be rendered on the page extending downward as far as necessary and the browser scroll bar should be used to get at the lower ones.

Duplicating a function the browser already brings inside the page is bad, IMHO.

Also it does not automatically use all the width I have available ...

I think you have uploaded the wrong screenshot ?!

I see SNMP stuff and not Firewall Rules ?

Coming back to the general issue of modern UIs - there is a general trend to waste space.

I don't think that is something one should accept as normal and reasonable.

You have no idea how much I agree with you on that one... It's driving me mad sometimes !!! :(

26.1 Series / Re: IPv6 from Android devices ...

Last post by reinob - Today at 02:58:01 PM

I'm not sure if the issue(s) reported here are the same or related to the issue I had, but just in case: I bought a Motorola Edge 70 (in case the model matters), which runs Android 16. I quickly noticed that after a few minutes (sometimes longer) IPv6 connectivity stopped working (like visiting ipv6-test.com, or ping6 www.google.com from termux). This would work after rebooting, or switching airplane mode off/on, or turning WLAN off for a while and then back on.

I'm still on Opnsense 25.7 (need to find the time to upgrade w/o causing disturbance at home..), and was using the standard RA daemon (and DNSMASQ for DHCP). I tried all sorts of combinations of RA lifetimes, etc. but couldn't get it to work reliably. I then switched to dnsmasq (defined an IPv6 range and enabled "ra-statless", tried also with "ra-names" and with "slaac"). and it still didn't work reliably.

Out of desperation I then enabled ra-advrouter (and only that mode), and suddenly (OK, I restarted the phone yet again, just to make sure I started with a clean state) IPv6 has been working reliably for about 24h, including short and long sleep/doze periods.

I'm by no means an IPv6 expert, and I still have to read RFC 3775 sections 7.2 and 7.3, but maybe this can serve as a workaround to other users of Android 16 affected by this, and (maybe) some expert might be able to explain why this works.

Thanks.

General Discussion / Re: Configuration Advice?

Last post by nero355 - Today at 02:45:06 PM

Don't smart switches provide the option of restricting the configuration access to a specified port only anymore? At least HP had that over a decade back.

Ofcourse they do, but not everyone seems to know for whatever reason :)

For any Accesspoint to function it does need any kind of IP Address at all

It does *not* need ... 🙂

Thnx! :)

26.1 Series / Re: DNS Confusion

Last post by disorganise - Today at 01:48:10 PM

I found firewall logs that show seemingly random DNS servers - so at least I'm not imagining this.  So this is either expected behaviour and I need to do xyz to change default behaviour, or it not expected behaviour and maybe there's a bug or something?
