My problem: First thing to say… I just love DietPi! I´m a linux newbie and dietpi is just amazing. Its userfriendly and perfect for working with via SSH. It solved my problem migrating an NFTS drive to a RPi. This installation runs for like 2 month, very smooth, everything is working as intended. It just runs PlexMedia on it. So now I wanted to migrate a new NTFS drive to the RPi and this is actually the problem. I was connecting via SSH and found the system running as it should, but as I went to the launcher and was trying to load the drive manager a black window appeared. I closed the connection because I wasnt able to navigate back and tried again. A dialog appears telling me “Concurrent execution of DietPi-Drive_Manager detected”. So if dietpi detecting the drive manager to be launched in another session, it means it actually run, but dosent show up. So what happend to dietpi installation? I want to avoid reinstalling it.

Maybe you guys can help me.

Welcome to our community.

As you closed the SSH session, drive manager keeps running in the background. Our scripts are designed in a way to prevent concurrent sessions. Therefore you are blocked now. Basically you have 2 options. Kill the first session or reboot your system.

Thats not the problem. Maybe I wrote it down a little bit confusing. I know what the message is trying to say. My problem begins way earlier as I said. When I first open the Drive Manager it just show a black terminal, nothing appears, it never load. But if I then close the session and open a new one, it says Drive Manager is already running. So my guess was, its running but it dosent show up… thats the problem I´ve got. I cant even see the drive manager, but if I try to open it in a new session, it says it is running.

Edit: Never mind! As I was writing, it just opened.

Does it mean drive manager is working now? Even after a reboot?
