2 years ago ok no need to do print screens. let's remove the repository directory
rm -Rf /etc/.pihole
dietpi-software install 93Ok. Did what you've suggested, but no luck. I've just uploaded a bug report from dietpi-software dialog.

2 years ago I don't have access to the bug reports, This can be done by our developer only. Due to whatever reason the PiHole installer is not able to write/update to /etc/.pihole. Could you check if it is existing,
ls -la /etc/.piholeThat directory is writeable by the root user I assume:
root@central:~# ls -la /etc/.pihole
total 140
drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4096 Nov 15 10:22 .

2 years ago I've tried this and it worked 🥂
chmod 775 /etc/.pihole/ && rm -rf /var/www/html/admin... it seems to me, that installed is using different mode then just root.

2 years ago chmod 775 /etc/.pihole cannot make any difference. It was 755, the owner is and stays root:root and nothing is (or should be) member of the root group which is basically used to declare that no group should get additional permissions.
It seems that disk reads or writes were flaky. Please check for kernel errors, to assure that any issues are detected as early as possible before more problems happen:
dmesg -l emerg,alert,crit,errOk. Did what you've suggested, but no luck. I've just uploaded a bug report from dietpi-software dialog.
Please paste the provided ID so that I can find the bug report. I'll have a look whether kernel or disk I/O issues can be seen.
echo $G_HW_UUIDI guess I found the bug report. No kernel errors visible there, though the errored out at /var/www/html/admin already existing, which is strange. This should only happen if the directory exists but the Git metadata are damaged, e.g. the contained .git dir does not exist or so.
One service was failing. Can you show:
systemctl status systemd-modules-load
journalctl -u systemd-modules-load
systemctl restart systemd-modules-loadI guess one of the modules listed in /etc/modules-load.d does not exist.

2 years ago Thx for your answers. I'll add more data as soon as I will arrive home to access the device. The install is old (img install was made from) but clean. The bug report I've found in console history is f1625446-9c30-4c0e-aeea-9a6e8f1753b0.
