updates never finish

[franco]

Yes.

I'll try to check the source code to see what it's doing in this case.

Take your time - I won't touch it until July 5th  ;D

[franco]

Sure, always.

The dots have stopped and it did update, just very slowly.

Waiting for another process to update repository OPNsense

I'll kick off another update but I'm wondering if there is any mileage in restoring the config to a fresh build  :-\

They key to me was to disable IPv6. Once that was done, all the updates when just fine. Thanks to the members who pointed me in the right directioin!

I have one install running in KVM (on Arch Linux if that matters) that has always updated fine but the last time when I clicked to check it said waiting for another process to finish, a little bit later it started to update but it seemed really, really slow. Eventually all it did was just output dots and never finished. I kind of forgot about that and updated the Arch Linux server and rebooted. Luckily, opnSense did come back up but it is still not updating properly. It still seems like it is really slow for some reason even though I don't think that's the root cause.

From the CLI it says this:

Nothing to do.
root@opnsense:~ # opnsense-update -p

But the GUI is still outputting dots ... its working on something.

Any ideas? Do I need to run some checks to see whether something has been corrupted?

Thanks!

Yes, seems to be a common theme. Since 24.7.4 the feedback on the kernel/base set downloads is instant instead of appearing to download forever. A small win in the grand scheme of things.
