DietPi Broken

[thekevinkalis]

Hi all, I've just removed my SD card to make an image backup and upon restarting my setup, I get this error.

-bash: /DietPi/dietpi/func/dietpi-globals: No such file or directory
grep: /DietPi/dietpi.txt: No such file or directory
-bash: /DietPi/dietpi/dietpi-login: No such file or directory

I'm running an Odroid C2, with DietPi base and Home Assistant installed.

Hoping someone can help me with this, as I made quite a few changes since my last backup (only 3 days ago)

@thekevinkalis
Sorry for the late reply, especially since your critical issue.

Is this still an issue?

DietPi-RAMdisk obviously failed to start. Ways to debug:

Code: Select all

journalctl -u dietpi-ramdisk
cat /var/tmp/dietpi/logs/dietpi-ramdisk.log

@Seferi
"Exec format error", a wrong dash binary or broken script?

Please try dash -c 'echo success' from console? If it fails as well, please try:
apt install --reinstall dash

If dash works well without reinstall, then try to redownload the script and execute it:

Code: Select all

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MichaIng/DietPi/master/dietpi/func/dietpi-ramdisk -O /boot/dietpi/func/dietpi-ramdisk
chmod +x /boot/dietpi/func/dietpi-ramdisk
/boot/dietpi/func/dietpi-ramdisk 0

If this works well now, please try to start the service: systemctl start dietpi-ramdisk
Verify via tail -1 /var/tmp/dietpi/logs/dietpi-ramdisk.log.
If this works as well, please reboot.

[Seferi]

Thanks for replying mate. Dash gives success. I downloaded the script.

Code: Select all

/boot/dietpi/func/dietpi-ramdisk 0

Gives:

Very strange, could you paste: ls -Al /boot/dietpi /DietPi/dietpi

[Seferi]

Should I install dietpi and pihole again from scratch?

[MichaIng]

@Seferi
Not required so far, although it looks like some data corruption if bash sees our globals script as binary... It is a plain text bash script.
However RAMdisk HAS indeed been loaded and at least the main script meta data look fine.

Which DietPi version do you use? I guess v6.25?
If so please try the following to have all together updated to v6.26 and hopefully fixed:

Thanks mate. I updated as you described and after reboot I'm getting:
