Core 138 - Issues?

Getting Started with IPFire
1

Ok, so after trying to find a solution from posts on here and elsewhere including bugzilla, I created an account to hopefully find some assistance. I am not sure if I somehow missed something or I found some bugs. Below are outlined the 2 issues I have found.

First - The box I am trying to setup for ipfire is running AMD Ryzen 7 2700X with 16GB ram. My network cards are all functional with Red,Orange,Green, and Blue. However, I have not gotten to setting up the wireless AP yet because of 1 of My issues.

Problem #1 - Not show stopping but in the web interface when you select ‘Status -> System’ which is calling system.cgi, the second graph area says - ’ The image “https://192.168.2.19:444/cgi-bin/system.cgi?cpufreq?day” cannot be displayed because it contains errors’

Problem #2 - When you go to the ‘IPFire -> Pakfire’ screen, other than Displaying : |System Status:||

There is nothing populated. When you hit the ‘Refresh List’ Button, It Doesn’t populate and the log shows -

Log -( replaced fqdn references to pakfireipfireorg with “pio” due to the system thinking they are links)

Any Help, Suggestions, Etc. Appreciated

Hi, is the systemtime correct?

Is DNS working?

Yes the time and date are correct.

I decided to look further from your DNS question. I entered DNS Servers during installation (1111 and 8888) and when you look at the gui under System->Home it says ‘loccal recursor’ but when you click the ‘DNS Servers’ Link it brings up the Net Traffic Graph Page showing both of them under the DNSSEC section.

However, when i looked at /etc/resolv.conf the only nameserver entry was 127.0.0.1 . I edited the file and added the nameservers then pakfire populated the available addons - which is good. But before I edited the file the gui showed 1111 status as DNSSEC supported and after editing it changed it to DNSSEC Not supported - wtf ?

But, why was /etc/resolv.conf wrong and somehow the gui knew about them ?!?

my resolv.conf is set to 127.0.0.1 and all works A-OK.

[root@ipfire ~]# cat /etc/resolv.conf
search localdomain
nameserver 127.0.0.1

So I’d guess DNS is set somewhere else (sorry I’m not skilled enough to help and know where).

EDIT: IPFire (old) Forum - DNS server used by ipfire

You appear to have a faulty installation plus are using a very fast CPU. Unbound can fail to locate the public DNS servers quickly on a very busy Internet.

You could try re-installing, during quiet Internet traffic period in your locality.
