no entry has been found

[Visseroth]

When trying to browse available plugins so I can download and install one I get the error "no entry has been found"

I did some digging around and found this...
http://serverfault.com/questions/677757/freenas-plugins-wont-load
which did no good

and similarly this...
http://joknowledge.blogspot.com/2013/10/freenas-empty-plugins-no-entry-has-been.html

so I added opendns and a google dns servers to the DNS list but still nothing.

I checked the logs and found...

Code:

Feb 12 00:05:22 storage manage.py: [common.cmd:211] cmd_pipe.__init__: err = ERROR: No available repos!
Feb 12 00:05:22 storage manage.py: [common.cmd:220] cmd_pipe.__init__: leave
Feb 12 00:05:22 storage manage.py: [common.pbi:375] pbi_base.run: leave
Feb 12 00:05:22 storage manage.py: [plugins.plugin:502] get_remote: No results returned for repo None

so I investigated further and had the firewall sniff traffic, the source being my freenas server. The only traffic passing was expected ssh traffic, but that was it, nothing else. No dns resolution, nothing.

So I then pinged download.freenas.org from the server via ssh...

Code:

ping download.freenas.org
PING iso.freenas.anycastcdn.net (192.254.73.126): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 192.254.73.126: icmp_seq=0 ttl=44 time=89.334 ms
64 bytes from 192.254.73.126: icmp_seq=1 ttl=44 time=89.461 ms

Seems networking is broke somewhere but the server is able to ping and resolve just fine.

I also tried deleting and then resetting the interface but under "Network Summary" my server IP address persists. Again I reset the interface and still the IP persists.
You would think that if the interface is deleted and the interface is reset that it would no longer try and pull an IP or even have an IP for that matter.
Still, with the interface deleted and reset, the plugins still doesn't work. Really it shouldn't work, but worth trying, right?

During this whole thing I'm pinging the server continuously and not once is there a interruption in traffic.

So I add a interface, cxgbe0, set to DHCP (MAC is statically mapped to the same IP), tried to refresh plugins and still, no entry has been found.

I go to edit the interface in the web gui, set it static but I'm unable to set the subnet. Seems the only way to set the subnet is from the console.
So I set the interface static in the console, try and refresh the plugins and still errored

Mind you, this whole time there was never once a interruption in traffic as I was pinging the server and streaming a tv show off it at the same time.

Thoughts and/or suggestions?

Edit: Oh! and IPv6 is NOT configured. I have not been using IPv6 inside my network. I just don't see the point as of yet.
Under Network Summary the server IP, subnet, nameserver and default route are correctly set.

Given the troubleshooting steps you've been through without success, I'm thinking you might need something more along the lines of this: https://forums.freenas.org/index.php?threads/how-to-re-download-the-plugin-jail-template.40335/

Unfortunately I don't have a snapshot...

Code:

cannot open '.warden-template-pluginjail': dataset does not exist

Your suggestions makes me think that it's a file issue. Which would make sense I did copy the old jails to the new location. Unfortunately the jails themselves didn't work out so well so I deleted them in order to start over.
So I guess the question is now, how do I re-create/rebuild the plugin/jail fingerprints or what ever it is I need to do to make the plugins work again.

Though you would think I'd still get a list of available plugins

I solved the problem by removing all plugins and jails, creating a new dataset and pointing the jails to the new dataset. I then tried to delete the old dataset but that failed so I restarted the server. I then deleted the old dataset and created the dataset (folder) I truly wanted, pointed the jails to that folder and checked the plugins. All seems to be working now.

I am having this problem, but I really don't want to destroy my jails. It would be a lot of work to rebuild them from scratch. I did have a snapshot of my jail template, so I rolled that back and rebooted, but I still can't get the plugins page to work.

Any other ideas?

I can't say as I do. Sorry for that.
