Upgrade to 8.2 and plugins not available ?

[zinju]

Hello,

I have upgrade my NAS to Freenas 8.2 using the package FreeNAS-8.2.0-RELEASE-p1-x64.GUI_Upgrade.xz
I was excited to find the new features but when I read the doc about plugins and jail, in order to install them,
I was unable to find the menu "Plugins".

A screenshot of what I see:



Anybody know why I can't see plugins?

Thanks.

Plugins is a service under services, and actual plugins are installed in a sub-tab under Services. The plugins sub-tab will not work until the plugins service is configured and running.

Thanks ben, I have read it in the doc but I don't have any sub-tab "Plugins" under "Services", so I can't configure it, right ?

The screenshot was ridiculously reduced, there is a link to a bigger one :

You are running FreeNAS 8.0. You need to perform a CD upgrade to 8.2.0, a GUI upgrade won't work. What led you to install that exact version? I'd like to get that instruction or link corrected. The newest stable version of FreeNAS is always on the front page of FreeNAS.org.

Thank you ben ! I will try this tomorrow.
I have found this upgrade on freenas.org, following the link in this new http://www.freenas.org/about/news/item/freenas-82-is-released

How very strange. Those links all go to the 8.2.0 versions of FreeNAS, both in the text and the side of the page. I wrote them myself, in fact. Anyway, the file you probably want is FreeNAS-8.2.0-RELEASE-p1-x64.iso unless you have 32-bit software, in which case you want FreeNAS-8.2.0-RELEASE-p1-x86.iso
