[SOLVED] No login prompt on console
«

I remember the first time I installed OPNSense, it's done via serial (with serial images). However after many updates, I no longer use the serial console port, but today I tried it but I can't seem to get the login prompt. It stopped after showing "SSH" text.
I didn't get the "login:" menu. And my primary console is already set to serial.
Any idea why?

Disable the "use USB" option. It dorsn't do what you probably think it does

However, the cable that I used is USB to RJ45 Console Cable, which I assume is that I need to tick the "Use USB-based serial ports", so what's actually the option for? I will give it a try when I get home

This does refer to the option that your OPNsense device does not have a serial port but needs to use a USB to serial converter to create one. This is very rarely the case. Most of the time your PC talks to a converter but the port on the OPNsense side is a "real" one.

Yep, that's it. I unticked the USB and it works now.
