New release out today.....Does this work on Polisy?

I followed the procedure in this thread for my Polisy (IoX 5.9.1, FreeBSD polisy 14.1) and it looks like a lot of files were downloaded and updated, but then the SSH prompt came back and it's just sitting there. Should it reboot automatically?

Also, I noticed one of the messages during the upgrade was "pkg: eisyui is not installed, therefore upgrade is impossible", - I assume this is expected since it's a Polisy?

Yes, it actually upgrades things during the reboot. It's not automatic, you need to tell it to reboot. Do : sudo reboot

Eisyui does install and work on a Polisy. That's what I'm using to test out these new versions (I have three Polisys that I use for testing). Maybe eisyui couldn't upgrade because it wasn't there to begin with, coming from 5.9.1. Do the reboot, and then try the eisyui pkg upgrade again after. You might need to use "pkg install eisyui" instead of "pkg upgrade eisyui"

Ok it seems IoX is now on 6.1.2, but FreeBSD is still on 14.1 - should this update too?

Also, should I now be able to go directly to the controller's http interface rather than using Java? I'm getting This site can’t be reached / 192.168.160.xxx refused to connect

if you did the full update command posted earlier in this thread (sudo pkg upgrade udx isy eisyui pg3x) your version of FreeBSD should be 14.3. Don't forget that you might need to enable the repository every time from now on (sudo repo.util prod) for upgrades to work.

Yes, you should be able to point your browser the the ip address and get a login prompt, asking for your UDI account login.

So it turned out I did need to install eisyui rather than upgrade, but after sudo reboot I still don't see a change.

I just did a power-cycle reboot and it still shows FreeBSD 14.1, with no web access.

Doing another sudo repo.util prod and then sudo pkg upgrade udx isy eisyui pg3x just results in

Updating udi repository catalogue...
udi repository is up to date.
All repositories are up to date.
Checking integrity... done (0 conflicting)
Your packages are up to date.

And strangely, at the same time my Finder can no longer see the Polisy, and I can't add it. But UDMobile can see it fine, and everything appears to be working.

So it's not fully working? Where are you seeing the FreeBSD version? I check ith with "uname -a", and it says 14.3 Release p5.

Have you tried a full reboot, with power off?

Last thing I tried was a full power cycle, followed by another upgrade attempt ("Your packages are up to date").

I'm seeing FreeBSD both at /WEB/sysconfig.txt

I've opened a ticket, although your help has been very much appreciated (and a lot more responsive)
