Would you please tell me how to install Plugin?

[Jacob Deng]

Hello experts, please help me, I totally followed the guideline from all the documents to install the Plugins, but all failed. I was so frustrated!
It took long time for me to work on this more than one day. Now it's alomost 4am now! Would you please tell me the very detail steps how to install the Plugins?There were always this information: "URLError: occured, destroyed transmission".
I already configed the network with DNS server IP, I also tried no DHCP IP too. I also made disk pool and set one jail dataset for jail. I also started the AFP service in sharing and service menu...I also could ping the freenas.org and google. com...I also deleted it and configed everything again... i also restarted the system too...I studied all the Youtube movies...I also switched chrome to safari too,...I also used legacy interface and new UI too. It showed all the plugins there but can't install it! OMG! Please tell me how to install Plugins.

Something in your network is preventing the download from completing. Post the following info so we can help you determine the cause:

1. full output of ifconfig within code tags
2. output of more /etc/resolv.conf
3. output of netstat -rn
4. output of tail -20 /var/log/messages

 

[Jacob Deng]

Dear Dlavigne, great thanks. These are the information I collected, please help me to analyse it, what's happened? How can I do it?
For my Transmission plugin installation, there have this problem:
Install
[EFAULT] Exception: CallError:[EFAULT] pkg error: - pkg-static: Repository iocage-plugins load error: access repo file(/var/db/pkg/repo-iocage-plugins.sqlite) failed: No such file or directory pkg-static: http://pkg.cdn.trueos.org/iocage/11.2-RELEASE/meta.txz: No address record pkg-static: http://pkg.cdn.trueos.org/iocage/11.2-RELEASE/packagesite.txz: No address record Please check your network occured, destroyed transmission.

Please check the attachment.

Great thanks.

I am looking forward to your feedback. I am so appreciated for your help!

I check the dir, there is no this dir and file /var/db/pkg/repo-iocage-plugins.sqlite.
[root@freenas /var/db/pkg]# ls
local.meta local.sqlite repo-local.sqlite

I don't know how to fix it.

 

[dlavigne]

No address record Please check your network occured, destroyed transmission.

That error indicates you don't have a DNS server set and your netstat indicates you also don't have a default gateway. In addition to that, you're using a Realtek NIC. Replace the Realtek with an Intel (search the forums for affordable options) and set a DNS server and default gateway in Network -> Global Configuration.

I have config DNS server:

Just a word of honest advice. You will not get much help on here until you are using Intel NIC. They are relatively inexpensive and are reliable. Realtek NIC have a solid history of throwing random errors and not being able to hold a connection reliably. Because of this, any networking problem while using a Realtek NIC can never be always traced to software related.

now, the problem is "Repository iocage-plugins load error: access repo file(/var/db/pkg/repo-iocage-plugins.sqlite) failed: No such file or directory pkg-static:", is not NIC problem.

I already checked the dir, there is no this file /var/db/pkg/repo-iocage-plugins.sqlite. this is the information:
-------------
[root@freenas /var/db/pkg]# ls

I don't know how to fix it?

If you can help me, that will be wonderful!

These attachments are all the information, hope you can point out which part is wrong. Otherwise i will reinstall the system again because i already deleted all the configuration data and config all the datas again many times. I don't know how to do it now. great thanks!

I don't know why? ASRock J4205 is good mainboard for NAS which many person recommended it, and it's true they provide realtek RTL8111GR LAN. Freenas can't support Realtek very well? And I also upgrade the firmware in the BIOS. ...I don't why.

 

[Redcoat]

Freenas can't support Realtek very well?

It's actually the other way round. It's that Realtek doesn't provide functional drivers for FreeBSD, the operating system underpinning FreeNAS. This is a well-known and well-documented situation.

I already checked the hardware which FreeBSD 11.2 supported:
"The re(4) driver supports RealTek RTL8139C+, RTL8169, RTL816xS, RTL811xS, RTL8168, RTL810xE and RTL8111 based Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet adapters including: "You will find FreeBSD support RTL8111. And my mainboard isPCIE*1 Gigabit Lan 10/100/1000Mbps with Realtek RTL 8111GR.

And I checked with my NIC performance:

I already solved my problems, Realtek RTL 8111GR works very well. I only changed the DNS server to google DNS server (8.8.8.8) or set the DNS server as the gateway address (my network is 192.168.0.1). But after this, the installation of Plugin still failed, then I cancelled the DHCP in the installation menu, I selected the bridge0 (before I selected re0, it didn't work), then I can install all the Plugins which I want to install(Transmission/Plex/Nextcloud).
