Hi
I am using OSMC 2020.06-1 and I cannot perform the upgrade of Pihole.
When I do: pihole -up I get:
[✗] Unsupported OS detected
Redirecting...
This check can be skipped by setting the environment variable PIHOLE_SKIP_OS_CHECK to true
e.g: export PIHOLE_SKIP_OS_CHECK=true
By setting this variable to true you acknowledge there may be issues with Pi-hole during or after the install
If that is the case, you can feel free to ask the community on Discourse with the Community Help category:
https://discourse.pi-hole.net/c/bugs-problems-issues/community-help/
Unable to complete update, please contact Pi-hole Support
I added "export PIHOLE_SKIP_OS_CHECK=true" to .bash_profile, .bashrc, .profile, /etc/environment.
I did a source .bash_profile, source .bashrc, source .profile. I even restarted my machine.
I always get this error: [✗] Unsupported OS detected
Does anyone knows how to disable this check?
Many thanks
export PIHOLE_SKIP_OS_CHECK=true pihole -up
On the same line, exactly as I typed it.
Might not need the export then since it should be in the same environment.
You said you have it in your profile? Does echo $PIHOLE_SKIP_OS_CHECK show anything at the command prompt?
Edit: PIHOLE_SKIP_OS_CHECK=true pihole -up should work directly from the command prompt.
I just did this (I don't think the sudo did anything) but I noticed now I have a Pi-hole Core update available (it was missing before).
The update works now!
I don't want to reply with "worked on my machine", but this definitely worked earlier when testing it on Ubuntu 20.04 before we added it to the supported OS list...
@floppyrom can you please run bash -x /etc/.pihole/automated\ install/basic-install.sh, and paste across the output please? The output may be quite large so it might be easier to do as a file upload
Edit: that core update available is because we've just pushed a 5.1.1 to fix a couple of (unrelated) issues
@floppyrom, disregard last. It's been pointed out to me that running sudo PIHOLE_SKIP_OS_CHECK=true pihole -up already sorted it for you.
