[Solved] After upgrading DietPi, it wants to set up as it was fresh

[skyfly555]

Jep the issue should be fixed with v6.21. If you are still stuck in the loop, please cancel any dietpi-software prompt and do the following:

Code: Select all

> /DietPi/dietpi/.update_stage
echo 1 > /DietPi/dietpi/.install_stage
dietpi-update 1

Thank you very much.

Now the issue is solved, at last!

Hello!

I'm still having this issue, though it may be my fault for a couple reasons. I have an older image, 6.14, and it's been auto-updating to 6.x through a series of reboots just fine until I hit this issue. I had hoped this would resolve it for me, but I receive 'No updates required' and I'm running 6.21.1 by the time the updates end.

I host a script on GitHub which runs after boot using the URL option. Until I saw this thread, I was sure I caused the issue myself, as I had just recently added the following line (I could probably clean this command up a bit.):

/DietPi/dietpi/func/change_hostname $(echo "f3-"$(ip -4 addr show eth0 | grep -oP 'inet \K.[\d.]+' | grep -oP '\d{1,3}$')"-cluster")

Basically, I set the hostname to f3-cluster in the dietpi.txt script, and the once I get to run my own bash I updated the hostname to include the last quartet of the IP.

Originally I tried setting the hostname in the dietpi.txt like above, found it doesn't execute the code. Then I updated with hostname, but I found that the RAMDisk dietpi parts seemed to not like that.

I've had a thought that maybe this isn't the best way to update the hostname, and that I might be making the device register as a new install somehow because I missed a config step.

Is this related to my upgrade path and I just need to update to the latest version? Or did I mess up something with how I change my hostname? I'll likely reflash one of the SDs and try rerunning without the hostname change and see if it still happens.

Edit/Add: Hostname thing wasn't the cause. Is it my upgrade path? I'm going to try the latest image and see if it happens without upgrading.

Edit/Add again: Now it's working in general. It works with the newest image, and it works with my old 6.14 image with or without changing the hostname. I dunno, nothing appears to be different on my end. Resolved I hope!

Thanks for feedback, so v6.21 finally solved everything as intended.
