I have a Dell R710 that I was previously running OMV 3 on (whatever version before 3.0.86). I messed up some configs and was having trouble with some plugins and Docker and decided to blow it up and start from scratch...
I am installing 3.0.86 from USB. The installation refuses to pick up a DHCP address. I tried different NICs, different cables, manual/auto/auto with hostname, etc... I wind up just going through the install, getting the base on it, and then running omv-firstaid, which Immediately allows me to connect with DHCP and go on my merry way...
In the web-gui, it refuses to let me do updates through the gui.... I am forced to apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade. I then do omv-initsystem and then set httpd allow. I now want to install plugins... I installed the 3.0x 3rd party plugin package, and then basically any plugin I try to install, it gives me errors that the packages have unmet dependencies. example:
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
openmediavault-sonarr : Depends: libmono-cil-dev (>= 3.1) but it is not installable
Depends: sqlite3 (>= 3.7) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: mediainfo (>= 0.7.52) but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

(btw... why does the error window insist on auto-scrolling so that I cant copy/paste with it???)
I am at a complete loss as to what to do.... I tried using the old 3.0.xx installation media, but it still complains about DHCP and then immediately allows me to get it after installation...
I have formatted the USB, tried different installation methods, etc... it all leads back to this... is the fact that it cant get a mirror somehow breaking the install, which then disallows me to do plugins or something to that effect? I am really struggling here, as I don't really want to have to go and find a different NAS OS....
Thanks!
UPDATE:
I used the fix "donh" gave me and after installing OMV without a network connection, I ran the omv-firstaid, established a connection, and then updated my /etc/apt/sources.list (I am in the US, so I just used the ones from his post). ran updates and could install and update plugins with no issues...
Maybe this is a bug? I feel that the install should still honor your debian source choices, even if it can't establish them (or at least have a option?) Otherwise, someone needs to manually go in and modify this. Maybe a web-gui option to modify apt sources.list or something?
Thanks for the help!!!
