Hello, I'm trying to install Pi-Hole but it stuck on welcome screen.
I tried using SSH and directly on the machine. When put enter, nothing happens.
Thanks and regards.
Try using another terminal application.

Using Terminator instead Konsole is the same result.
There is a way to avoid this welcome message?
Regards.
Eliminating the welcome message will likely not resolve the problem. There are a number of subsequent steps in the installer where you need to accept or enter things.
Ok, now, using nmtui utility that also have a blue screen and need select options, works perfect.
I assume that your installer have something broken. Older versions worked perfectly.
Please post the output of the verbose installer script:
curl -sSL https://install.pi-hole.net | sudo bash -x

Looks fine to me, whiptail is called and it's waiting for your input. Nothing in that code has changed and the fact that you have to run the Unsupported OS switch tells me that your system is unsupported.
What operating system is running on the platform?
What operating system is running on the device on which you are trying to install Pi-hole?
My RaspberryPi is running Kali Linux 2022.1
I'm connected with my smartphone running Android over SSH and no lucky
Using Windows machines also connecting via SSH not lucky.
Using directly Kali Linux with different terminal applications like Konsole and Terminator, not lucky.
Kali Linux is not a supported OS for Pi-hole.
I don't want format all my Linux by one software only. I see that the support is very limited, so, I will search and alternative ad-blocking solution.
Thanks and regards.
Update: Final solution is use AdGuard Home instead PiHole.
