What happens when you run

"aegis upgrade"
I know aegis 1.1.4 is installed on my usb drive,that will just upgrade internally

oot@R7800:/$ aegis upgrade
Upgrading:
- Version installed: 1.0.3
- Version found: 1.1.4
? Do you want to upgrade from 1.0.3 to 1.1.4 (y/n)?
 
Ok, clearly at some point, something got messed up.
The aegis in your internal drive is not installed in the right place /root/bolemo...
So it is a mystery where it is and how it ended up there...

Can you do this:
Code:
ls -l /opt/bolemo
And this:
Code:
ls -l /usr/bin/aegis

It will tell where the symlink is pointing to for your internal aegis.
From there, we can figure out how to uninstall this copy.

This is what I get

root@R7800:/$
root@R7800:/$ ls -l /opt/bolemo
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 May 27 19:30 /opt/bolemo -> /tmp/mnt/sdb1/bolemo
root@R7800:/$
root@R7800:/$ ls -l /usr/bin/aegis
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 May 27 19:30 /usr/bin/aegis -> /opt/bolemo/scripts/aegis
root@R7800:/$
root@R7800:/$
 
All of that is right.

It means that aegis is installed on external drive.
So you have version 1.0.3 on your external drive sdb1.

I would do a reinstall from install script.

This is what I get

root@R7800:/$
root@R7800:/$ ls -l /opt/bolemo
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 May 27 19:30 /opt/bolemo -> /tmp/mnt/sdb1/bolemo

Good :)

Now, just do
Code:
aegis clean -v
And
Code:
aegis update -v
PS: you have 2 external drives. Maybe you had aegis on both...
PSS: no need to factory reset

All good.

Have a nice week-end @jrbmw

Aegis does it job so good. Not that i've ever doubted it. When I forgot all about this pearl of a software as its just do its work in shadows and with no drawback I was reminded when a streaming software stopped working and it didn't got a connection.

Then Aegis entered my mind again. As this pearl is build in such a well thought out way I got the blocked ip:s from the log and could whitelist them and all is now fine. It's all in the readme but as Im not as accurate as this software I had to run to HELLO wORLD. Great service comes with the software and he pointed out my typo in the file name.

Thanks HELLO wORLD for a great neat software with lovely simple commands and thank you for your service. My only problem now is if I should use that streaming software and why the IP:s was blacklisted. But that is my headache and its really valuable to have a shield that forces you to stop up and think and make conscious decisions. I recommend Aegis to everyone who can use it.
 
@Jauger, probably not, like all the other (more important) stickies just get ignored too.

It looks like the problem is not coming from aegis, but from when the firewall is restarted.

Can you first check if /opt/scripts/firewall-start.sh exists and cat its content?
In this line (returned by firewall restart, not aegis):
Bash:
/usr/sbin/net-wall: /usr/sbin/net-wall: 107: /opt/scripts/firewall-start.sh: not found
It seems that the built-in firewall script is not able to find firewall-start.sh

Thank you.

Aegis did install its link, so the problem is definitely not aegis.

What happens when you run

net-wall restart
