please rethink your decision to block the install on desktop environments. Why not implementing a simple warning in script for installing on desktops with pressing button XY for installing further on unsupported desktops? I can`t use a headless OS!

First, the check in the install script is only protecting you from having your desktop environment uninstall. The conflict is in OMV itself - https://github.com/openmediavault/openmediavault/blob/master/deb/openmediavault/debian/control#L11 Second, there is no reason to use anything other than the web interface. So, I don't understand the not being able to use a headless OS. If you need a desktop environment, you are doing something wrong.

Why? oh, there are users, who using the Rpi not only for OMV either for other things....

This has been discussed many, many times. Having a desktop installed can break networking and drive mounting with OMV.

An RPi is cheap. If you need one for a desktop, get a second one. OMV should be the only thing an RPi is used for. That is how it is designed. The code preventing this is in core OMV now. So, nothing the install script can do but I wouldn't revert it anyway.
