Firstrun Error / APT / Fresh Bullseye installation

Troubleshooting
1

Hello everyone,
Unfortunately, I’m currently struggling a bit with installing a fresh Bullseye installation on VMWare Esxi.
I’ve already tried to get ahead with a Google search, but unfortunately without success.

I´m using this ova template: dietpi.com/downloads/images/DietPi_ESXi-x86_64-Bullseye.ova.xz

After the login the first run starts (and fails :()

Anyone an idea why the “out of the box” deployment is not working? i already try to give the virtual machine more space, but no changes…

Thank you & kind regards
Martin

PS: I have to cut the links cause i have not the permission to use more than 2 in a post :wink:

Not sure about the first error, that the new kernel package is not installed automatically. That should happen without a “fix-broken” iteration. But probably it is a symptom of the missing space.

The partition and filesystem should be expanded automatically. Can you check the related log file:

cat /var/tmp/dietpi/logs/fs_partition_resize.log

Hi,
thank you for your response, the output is:

root@DietPi:/tmp/DietPi-Software# cat /var/tmp/dietpi/logs/fs_partition_resize.log
Removed /etc/systemd/system/local-fs.target.wants/dietpi-fs_partition_resize.service.
[ INFO ] Detected root drive /dev/sda with root partition 1
[ INFO ] No DietPi setup partition found, last partition is: " "
lsblk: unknown column: MOUNTPOINTS

:frowning:
Kind regards,
Martin

as workaround if the system is still alive Increase partition size - #14 by MichaIng

Hi,
thank you.

Now i have used the commands:
sudo sed -i 's/MOUNTPOINTS/MOUNTPOINT/' /var/lib/dietpi/services/fs_partition_resize.sh
sudo /var/lib/dietpi/services/fs_partition_resize.sh

After that the retry of the firstrun brings the same error again
but with apt -fix it runs trough, thank you!
Kind regards
Martin

for info:
i tried it once again (fresh VM from OVA template), with 32GB Disk Size, same error again after first run, have to do the resize (thanks @Joulinar) and then using apt --fix-broken install

thank you @MichaIng and @Joulinar for your time, its working now :slight_smile:

Best regards,
Martin

yes we need to generate new images once v9.1 has been released. If you like, I could generate an image from current dev branch for testing.

Btw, no need to pass the -b dev flag when building the image, but the workflow/installer from dev branch needs to be selected. I added temporary fix to dietpi-installer to fix the script, regardless which target branch the DietPi image is build with.

Hi, I don’t need it anymore, but if it would help you I could test it…
Best regards,
