  • hello



    very happy user since a few years. First on an HP microserver, afterwards on an Odroid HC, now on an (older) HP workstation, with a lot of cpu power (what I was missing on the odroid :) )



    trying to upgrade my installation, so I have the new php (so I can upgrade my nextcloud an ampache).



    root@Z800:~# omv-release-upgrade

    Upgrading system to 7.0 (Sandworm) ...

    This system is running a desktop environment! This setup is not supported.


    I get this 'error' ... it i strue I had an X isntallaton, with a xfce instllation that I reached over vnc (it a headless server) an I stop and start this. Now - I understand you want no issues with this (and it would be better to do this is a virtual machine or docker or something, but didnt take the time to fiddle with it.


    I tried to remove all the X tings (x11 , ldxe , xfce, ...) but it is still giving me this problem.


    what packages (?) is the omv-release-upgrade looking for? so I can really remove them all.


    thank you!

  • I newly installed raspberry pi OS and selected the lite install. When I try to install OMV I get the desktop environment error.

    I ran the dpkg command and the system did not return any results. Do you have any other suggestions on how to install OMV. I had been running OMV on this raspberry pi for a couple of years now and it ran great.


    uname -a:

    Linux raspberrypi 6.6.31+rpt-rpi-v8 #1 SMP PREEMPT Debian 1:6.6.31-1+rpt1 (2024-05-29) aarch64 GNU/Linux

    Follow the instructions on this link. https://wiki.omv-extras.org/do…omv7:raspberry_pi_install
