No desktop installed but stille error "This system is running a desktop environment! This setup is not supported."

1. offizieller Beitrag

    Hello Forum!

    I like to share my following experiance...and hope it helps others.


    I have always had a lean linux install with 5.x OMV 'on top' and was very satisfied so far.


    Now I have decided to upgrade to 6.x, and I first got the error "This system is running a desktop environment! This setup is not supported." even though I don't have any desktop's installed!


    Then I found via the u.a command

    Code
    dpkg --get-selections

    "gnome & desktop" 'parts' (in red) , which I could then delete.


    Installtion is now running and I am really curious how it will run & perform....


    :!: All the best

    SB

    I don't have any desktop's installed!

    The script doesn't do any magically desktop detection. If any of the following packages are installed, it will give you that message. You evidently aren't starting with a minimal image though.


    gdm3|sddm|lxdm|xdm|lightdm|slim|wdm

    omv 7.0.5-1 sandworm | 64 bit | 6.8 proxmox kernel

    plugins :: omvextrasorg 7.0 | kvm 7.0.13 | compose 7.2 | k8s 7.1.0-3 | cputemp 7.0.1 | mergerfs 7.0.4 | scripts 7.0

    gdm3|sddm|lxdm|xdm|lightdm|slim|wdm

    My first install was with DE but I then removed every package....

    Now I run the upgrade script and got the error message, but if I check manually it sounds good:

    Code
    $ dpkg -l | grep -Eqw "gdm3|sddm|lxdm|xdm|lightdm|slim|wdm"
$

    What do I miss?

    you have the quiet flag in your grep. Remove the 'q'.

    Probably an other miss??

    Code
    $ dpkg -l | grep -Ew "gdm3|sddm|lxdm|xdm|lightdm|slim|wdm"
rc  gdm3                                  3.30.2-3                                     amd64        GNOME Display Manager
$ sudo apt remove gdm3
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package 'gdm3' is not installed, so not removed

    and the following is giving no output:

    Code
    $ sudo apt list --installed | grep gdm3

    EDIT:

    Was only conf file, the following did the trick:

    Code
    sudo dpkg -P gdm3

    Yep, it needs to be purged (not just removed) for the install script to allow it to continue.
