Fixed This system is running a desktop environment!

I definitely would not accept this since OMV should not be running on a machine with a desktop environment.

@ayush617 The reason desktops are not supported is not because they're impossible to install. A desktop can be installed.

The reason is, when a desktop is installed, further software installations that support desktop environments leads users toward installing packages that conflict with OMV. This can result in damaging OMV or removing the OMV package entirely. (Where users then go to the forum crying "what happened" and "why do you allow this?"

Installation recommendations (such as "Do Not Install a Desktop") are not made lightly or arbitrarily.
