My eMMC failed so I restored from a DietPi backup to an SD card but got a failed message and couldn’t boot.
I restored another self-scripted rsync backup I had on a USB drive. After editing boot.ini and fstab all seems to be working - well almost all.
I now cannot install anything from dietpi-software - I get the test internet connection message. I am connected OK and can install from apt-get.
Is it due to the DNS being wrong as in the picture? Or something else?

Hi John,
Restore would revert the fix we applied for: https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issues/755#issuecomment-282374707
Updating DietPi would patch this, or run:
sed -i "s@debian.org/debian[[:space:]]@debian.org/debian/ @g" /etc/apt/sources.list
All our images (v145.img) have been updated with this fix also:
https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issues/778
Thanks Fourdee this sorted it.
Also I booted from a new 145 image and restored a 144 FS. Changing the version number to 144 forced the upgrade.
This business of /boot/boot.ini residing on the ramdisk foxed me a bit over the weekend until I worked it out and edited on a different device.
If I need to do this in future where is the best place to edit it (other than on a different device)?
And one more question if I may - the FS is now on an SSD - what are the best fstab options for such a drive?
John
