Hello. I installed Version 8.4.0 probably 5-6 months ago on fresh hardware. On it I run my Sophos firewall, since it's the only way I can get 10G support for that software is under a VM application. While I'm a newbie, I do understand some basics of Linix, using VI editor, processes, etc.

While I haven't been able to ssh in (still having key issues) - I have been following a couple of you tube videos on upgrades, which I mainly want from a security standpoint. I was able to go in and change (I think) the proper sources over to the No-Subscription version (this is for my home network firewall only) - but still having some failures. When I do this through the GUI - here is the output I get with errors. Appears some updates happened, but not all.

Appreciate any guidance on getting through the errors.

Welcome!
Seems that you have some network problem. Does your Proxmox hypervisor have an access to the Internet? Does you (Sophos or other) firewall allow it?
Can you ping 170.130.165.90? (I have verified it answer to ping, at least from my place).
 
Hmmmm so this is interesting. No, I cannot ping it. I can ping my FW (Sophos) primary IP address that everything on my network sees as a gateway. I cannot ping the IP address you provided. I also cannot ping a resolvable name such as att.com or google.com.

As to my physical setup, I have a NIC on the Motherboard that I'm using for a 1G connection for the ProxMox access to the LAN. It's the same LAN as the FW, etc. I cannot find anyplace where I have setup this host any differently.
