Freenas gui not working

[George114]

I couldn't find a copy on freenas website?

That doesn't look right still, login should be dead center.

 

Download this release from September, ignore the earlier edit of 9.10:

^ in case you wanted to keep going back to try out different images.

Should look like this. Your chrome certainly looks closer, but something is still suspect. Try incognito mode on chrome.

Incognito mode

Could it be an issue with Windows 10?

Don't see why it would.

[Mikensan]

I'm running Windows 10 as well.

 

Best bet is to go back a version, possibly a bad commit made it to a stable version. Use the september download I linked and throw it on a virtual machine (vbox / vmware player) and test.

[George114]

This is the latest beta version?? Lol I'm trying 9.3 now

[George114]

9.3 has done the same thing this is 5 minutes after hitting log in

[George114]

The ie version gets a little further??

[George114]

The freenas box doesn't even show in my network from my laptop? Where as the one at work shows on the work network?

[George114]

Could this be the on board network port causing issues? I do have a spare pci network card but don't know much about configuring them the card is gigabit and Intel onboard I believe is Realtek or something like this?

would having this as extra make a difference to transfer speeds?

[Mikensan]

Sorry about the mixup in versions on my part, little bit tired lol.

 

Are you installing this on a flash drive or disk? Possible if it's a flash drive that the flash drive is dying. Just for s' and giggles, try a hdd if you haven't already.

[George114]

Trust me I've tried several memory sticks 

[Mikensan]

Try a physical disk anywho - the hardware (cpu/mobo) you have shouldn't be any issues so it narrows it down. I don't think it would be your NIC, realtek sucks but it shouldn't outright cause issues like this. It's a very quick install so it wouldn't hurt to try your other NIC.

 

when you go to log in and it hangs, does console still respond? You try typing TOP to see if there's any daemons eating up a lot of CPU? 

If I remember correctly, if you fire up shell I believe you should see some activity. You could also scan through dmseg to see if anything noteworthy is there.

 

you don't have a fancy switch with vlans / traffic shaping or anything of that sort do you? both freenas and your other computer on the same subnet?

[ARikozuM]

By any chance are the necessary ports open on your router?

[George114]

I'll try the physical disk now and see if it makes a difference I'm going to try the network card after to see if that is doing any thing

I have no fancy vm or anything I'm not even sure about subnet masks being the same I will google how to find out and do this 

[George114]

Ok so installed to a physical hdd and same thing 

[George114]

Sorry the freenas screen is fully operational and allows me to do any of the options!

 

[George114]

ok so all versions not working I've even tried an older 9.2.1.9. and tried loading on an older 32bit cpu machine

the 9.2.1.9 version is hanging during loading on both so not getting anywhere with that

I have noticed pulling the Ethernet port out before boot up is helping to allow the build to get to bios

Without doing this and having it plugged in causes the build to hang with a black screen and one white line about 1cm in length in the middle of the screen

what should I do next?

Anyone?

[Mikensan]

Check dmesg, next best thing.

[George114]

 what is that and what do I do?

Im sorry but I have very basic knowledge here

oh no worries, just go to the freenas console, hit 9, and type dmesg | more

 

See if there's anything noteworthy. It's basically kernel logs. Usually rather large, so you'll have to scroll through them. You can also try searching dmesg with | grep string.

 

Or something like dmesg | trail -20          to see the last 20 lines.

[George114]

I'm not sure about router ports either

so this is dmesg in shell 

How do I get out of shell and it doesn't allow me to scroll through any of it?

[Mikensan]

if you type dmesg | more, then you just scrolling down or hit enter or hit page down. After you get to the bottom, you just type exit.

Looks like you now have no network adaptor configured. Did you try to change it?

 

To get out of that, press CTRL + C.

 

Haven't really read the thread, but I assume you have tried from another computer on a Chrome browser?
