hi,
i got a little problem on my rock 64.
[ INFO ] DietPi-Login | DietPi-Software is already running on another terminal/screen. Please complete or exit, before continuing
i found something similar on GitHub for a Thinkerboard but i don’t think i can use the solution for the rock64.
would be nice if someone could help me with that.
Thanks

The first run setup seems to be active on a different terminal/TTY. Did you already log in via local terminal (HDMI + keyboard) or on a different SSH session?
Otherwise you can simply kill all /DietPi/dietpi/* processes you see on htop, log out and in again (via SSH, if you like). DietPi-Software should then start (again) automatically and you should be able to finish the setup.
Thanks for the tip.
will give it a try and see.
I am having this problem too. My system:
v6.20.6 | RPi 3 Model B (armv7l)
That is, when I log in, it keeps saying:
[ INFO ] DietPi-Login | DietPi-Software is already running on another terminal/screen. Please complete or exit, before continuing.
Until I hit Ctrl-C.
More info, after looking at this post and this issue:
I’ve had this ever since I upgraded to v6.20.6 a few days ago. I can’t remember what version I was on previously. I did have an issue during the upgrade: I don’t recall the details of that, but I did a “dietpi-upgrade 1” and the upgrade finished. So this is where I’m at now:
If I do this:
echo 1 > /DietPi/dietpi/.install_stage
echo 1 > /DietPi/dietpi/.update_stage
> /etc/profile.d/dietpi-unsupported_terminal.sh
dietpi-update 1
It says “No updates required, your DietPi installation is up to date.”
Other suggestions were to kill some processes:

In other words, I killed the login, dietpi-software, tee, etc processes, but they keep re-spawning automatically (notice how the PIDs changed between the two ps commands).
I was hoping there’d be another update that fixed this, that’s why I didn’t post when it first started happening (and the upgrade details were fresher in my mind).
Any other suggestions/fixes?
Thanks!
I just updated to v6.21.1, so far seems OK…
Hi all, I got the same issue after upgdating to v6.21.1 on a Raspberry PI3. Even on reboot I’m trapped in this loop. Please share a solution. Thank you.
