Hello there,

i started the upgrade to 25.7 just now and checking in after some time my machine hangs at this screen:


I really dont know what to do. I do have an internet connection, some services are stopped and i am able to "use" my firewall but i cannot force a restart via GUI.

The GUI still shows:
Versions
OPNsense 25.1.12-amd64
FreeBSD 14.2-RELEASE-p4
OpenSSL 3.0.17

Is there anything i can do now?
I did make a snapshot before the upgrade. Would i be able to safely "roll back"?


Thanks in advance!

I had some similar occurances in the past, when the GUI mentions going into reboot (but did not really) and after short time the GUI was available again, without the need to login.

I the cases I have seen it was the monit service which could not be stopped and so the system did not go into reboot.
If you are able to login with ssh or through console you should be able to figure out with 'top' and 'ps -auxwww' which process may be the culprit and use 'kill -9 <PID>' (replace <PID> with the Process ID of the culprit) to terminate it. Then try to reboot again. It is a while since I have seen this behavior, so it may not be the reason any more.

Thank you!

I tried restarting via ssh and it told me the PID. Turns out it was the Adguardhome plugin for whatever reason. I killed the process and the firewall rebooted with 25.7 after some time. :)
