Confusion for a new user

Hi.

Sorry for my very simply and not good english.

I´m new user and now installing openmediavault_5.6.13-amd64.iso and i miss something like screenshot 1. from OMV sites. But i have only that is on screenshot 2. from my browser. This is very very different.

So i don´t know how make anything. No possible upload files and not even manage it etc.

In this form is system useless.

Pleas help me.

Scr.1 from sites:

Scr. 2 from my browser

Thank for replay.

I´d download cca year back and it did stable 5.6.13. But screenshots on sites were same. Also i have old and very weak machine - Pegatron with AMD E1-1200 with slow HDD. And i have Experince from Deb-based distros, that older is tuned and more stable.

Are you telling me that the previous stable version doesn't have the ability to manage storage and work with files?

What good would it do then?

OK - I´l try and throw echo.

Thought: Is possible, that i miss important choices because i skipped root password?

In instruction during install was written, that then root goes to the 1st user with sudo - so skipped this ...

And when you login to the GUI, the USER is admin and the PASSWORD is openmediavault

You can change the PASSWORD after.

I thought I had entered my user password, so I logged in with that. I'll try it now.

I don't think I'll try, because I can't connect at all right now. I'm entering the same address as an hour ago and it's already timed out. "The server is temporarily unavailable. Please try again in a moment."

What should I do to connect?

It's a mess.

The OMV address is reported on the logonscreen, so I know it. Once I connect, after a reboot I don't. Other times I don't connect from Firefox, but I do from Edge. And last time not at all - neither from Edge nor from FF.

Any idea?

Quote from Soma

You used the old OMV5 iso.

What you want to install is OMV6: Choose the Stable ISO

Download | openmediavault

Then follow the New User Guide:

With OMV 6.0.24 more problems than OMV 5.6.13 - Failed automatic net settings during installation and after manual settings no connect to internet - is inpossible connect to any repository. Tomorow i´ll post more detailed description with reports.

I prefer to use DeepL now for translate.

I said I'd fill in the information. Although it's roughly in the description.

Failure messages during installation are:

Automatic network setup has failed. This may be due to a slow DHCP server, malfunctioning network elements, or simply your st DHCP is not supported.

If I set up manually, later on all selected mirrors got an error message and the most likely cause is the inability to connect to the internet. Although there are other possible reasons given, but they are not relevant in my opinion.

Wouldn't there be a way to fix it in the finished installation? How to make sure the OS is connected to the internet. I couldn't find that option in the settings, and I didn't actually see a reason why it wouldn't connect further.

So if somehow in the terminal?

It is connected to the OMV modem and I can get to the interface from the other PC. It's just that the internet isn't active and so I can't add plugins etc.

For reason, if my choic will upgrade from OMV5:

I don't understand this "before creating WHATEVER" - I'm not able to determine at what point and how ...

Maybe it is more understand for me. I will know it during real time trying. Thank.

So, I did install 5.6.13 again and no problem with network configuration and repo choice.

After reboot no IPv4 on screen and in GUI not shown - only IPv6 about, but which is off and not shown in GUI - bug too and big mystery.

Login from browser is possible from remembered IPv4 addr. - second big mystery.

Then there is bug with any network component in 6.0.24.
