<ul><li><strong>Assignee</strong> set to <i>Jim Pingle</i></li></ul><p>As we saw on <a class="issue tracker-1 status-3 priority-10 priority-lowest closed" title="Bug: Cannot set EFI console as primary console when using both EFI and Serial (Resolved)" href="https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/13080">#13080</a> this is probably just the loader menu interpreting the environment incorrectly.</p>
<p>The GUI page could use changed a bit as stated, though. The options may need to be reordered so VGA comes first on new installs that have no settings, since that would have been the default out-of-the-box behavior. Maybe it could detect and select the primary console based on the existing value of <code>console</code> in <code>kenv</code> or similar. Will need to run some tests and see what's best.</p> pfSense - Bug #12960: VGA install defaults to serial as primary console when loading/saving admin GUI settings without making changeshttps://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/12960?journal_id=639002022-11-18T07:42:07ZJim Pingle
<ul><li><strong>Subject</strong> changed from <i>VGA installer image defaults to serial console, serial console is default in GUI settings</i> to <i>VGA install defaults to serial as primary console when loading/saving admin GUI settings without making changes</i></li></ul><p>To confirm, the loader menu issue is identical to <a class="issue tracker-1 status-3 priority-10 priority-lowest closed" title="Bug: Cannot set EFI console as primary console when using both EFI and Serial (Resolved)" href="https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/13080">#13080</a> -- On the ISO when booting via BIOS, it has <code>boot_serial=NO</code> in the environment which is misinterpreted by the loader menu console code, but behaves correctly.</p>
<p>So this issue can remain solely for the GUI part.</p> pfSense - Bug #12960: VGA install defaults to serial as primary console when loading/saving admin GUI settings without making changeshttps://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/12960?journal_id=639012022-11-18T08:25:09ZJim Pingle

<ul><li><strong>Status</strong> changed from <i>Feedback</i> to <i>Resolved</i></li></ul><p>This is working properly for both EFI and legacy BIOS installs. Either way, when visiting the page for the first time it properly selects the current console as the default value of the drop-down menu.</p>
