[SOLVED] Does the 16.1 update from 15.7 take over an hour???

[jez]

Hello Guys.

I attempted the 16.1.1 update from my 15.7, im running it on a mini-ITX platform... Thing is... its taken over an hour for one of the steps...

'Applying base-16.1-amd64.txz...'

Also, I am unable to connect to the web config in a separate browser window, just times out... Im in two minds about just rebooting it as it stands, am I missing something obvious, surely it wouldn't take over an hour on that single step would it? Ive attached a picture to show where it appears to be stuck...

Thanks

The base apply are 17000 files unpacking on the file system.. on an SD/CF or old hard drive or slow bus bandwidth this can take a very long time. What is your system setup?

If you can, log in via the console / ssh and try to see if "top" still indicates the system/disk is active, if not it's safe to reboot via the console option 6.

ahh my reply just got auto removed as the attachment was too big...

Basically, ill do a trimmed down version..

Thanks for the reply, I plugged a monitor in and noticed a strange error, rebooted the firewall, and appears the update worked successfully to version 1.6.1.1! Noticed I can no longer route traffic through openvpn client, just working on solving that now... guessing DHCP has changed in some way as the interface no longer shows up and the public vpn ip address now displays 'down' and prior to the update it was displaying the public vpn IP... ill figure it out im sure...

I cant seem to solve this openvpn client issue, it was working fine before the update... Any ideas

OPT1 interface (opt1, ovpnc1)
Status    up
DHCP    
down 
MAC address    00:00:00:00:00:00
In/out packets    0 / 4210 (0 bytes / 283 KB )
In/out packets (pass)    0 / 4210 (0 bytes / 283 KB )
In/out packets (block)    0 / 52 (0 bytes / 5 KB )
In/out errors    0/0
Collisions    0

The overview suggests its not working as the DHCP displays down for some reason... cant route anything through it, tried restoring the config that I made just before running the update, still cant route a thing through it and this has worked for months and months so must be the update causing it??

Also just tried a tracert via the firewall over OPT/openvpn interfaces, both can trace to google.com without issue..

ive managed to get it working now... no idea how though, just randomly tinkering...

cheers

Yay, glad to hear it all worked out.
