What if you

cd /var/ww/html/admin
sudo git fetch --all

Then try again.

prdtn · March 25, 2018, 12:12pm

I've somehow fixed the initial problem but it seems that (or something else) broke something else. If I pihole -v I get:
Pi-hole version is v3.3-65-g295ac49 (Latest: v3.3)
AdminLTE version is v3.2.1-80-g517fa24f (Latest: v3.3)
FTL version is vDev-a26da52 (Latest: v3.0)

pihole -up tells me
[i] Checking for updates...
[i] Pi-hole Core: up to date
[i] FTL: update available

[i] FTL out of date

[i] FTL Checks...
[✓] Detected x86_64 architecture
[i] Checking for existing FTL binary...
[✓] Downloading and Installing FTL

[i] Web Interface: up to date

[i] FTL version is now at
[✓] Starting pihole-FTL service
[✓] Enabling pihole-FTL service to start on reboot

but no matter how often I try to update, the output stays the same.

jacob.salmela · March 25, 2018, 12:31pm

OK, so now do

echo "FTLDNS" | sudo tee /etc/pihole/ftlbranch
pihole checkout web FTLDNS

prdtn · March 25, 2018, 12:40pm

Thanks for the follow up - As I've had the feeling something really bad happened I've restored the whole VM to the point it was yesterday (before the upgrade to the FTL beta).

So please take the initial post as the actual status again please:

cd /var/www/html/admin
strn@piDNS:/var/www/html/admin$ sudo git fetch --all
Fetching origin
strn@piDNS:/var/www/html/admin$ pihole checkout web FTLDNS

jacob.salmela · March 25, 2018, 12:50pm

And you did this bit?

echo "FTLDNS" | sudo tee /etc/pihole/ftlbranch

prdtn · March 25, 2018, 2:07pm

Yes, I did

jacob.salmela · March 25, 2018, 2:27pm

cd /var/ww/html/admin
sudo git fetch --all
sudo git checkout FTLDNS

prdtn · March 25, 2018, 2:29pm

/var/www/html/admin$ sudo git checkout FTLDNS
error: pathspec 'FTLDNS' did not match any file(s) known to git.

jacob.salmela · March 25, 2018, 2:32pm

sudo git config --get remote.origin.fetch
sudo git config remote.origin.fetch "+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*"
sudo git config --get remote.origin.fetch

prdtn · March 25, 2018, 2:34pm

same situation

strn@piDNS:/var/www/html/admin$ sudo git config --get remote.origin.fetch
+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
strn@piDNS:/var/www/html/admin$ sudo git config remote.origin.fetch "+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*"
strn@piDNS:/var/www/html/admin$ sudo git config --get remote.origin.fetch
+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*

strn@piDNS:/var/www/html/admin$ sudo git checkout FTLDNS
error: pathspec 'FTLDNS' did not match any file(s) known to git.

jacob.salmela · March 25, 2018, 2:37pm

I guess we could try the nuclear option:

sudo rm -rf /var/www/html/admin
sudo git clone https://github.com/pi-hole/AdminLTE.git /var/www/html/admin

cd /var/www/html/admin
echo "FTLDNS" | sudo tee /etc/pihole/ftlbranch
pihole checkout core FTLDNS
pihole checkout web FTLDNS

prdtn · March 25, 2018, 2:39pm

I can pretty much destroy everything if I have to. I can restore the vm in case of atomic radiation very quickly ...

strn@piDNS:/var/www/html/admin$ sudo rm -rf /var/www/html/admin
strn@piDNS:/var/www/html/admin$ sudo git clone https://github.com/pi-hole/AdminLTE.git /var/www/html/admin
fatal: Could not get current working directory: No such file or directory

//edit: I guess sudo rm -rm is a typo for -rf

jacob.salmela · March 25, 2018, 2:50pm

Yep, you were right on the typo. If you were in the directory when you removed it, you might need to cd out of it, then run the command again.

prdtn · March 25, 2018, 2:51pm

sorry, my bad ...

strn@piDNS:/var/www/html/admin$ cd /

dunno if it helps:

strn@piDNS:/$ pihole -v

AdminLTE version is v3.3 (Latest: v3.3)

jacob.salmela · March 25, 2018, 2:54pm

OK, now you just need to cd /var/www/html/admin (you're still in the root directory), and then do the git checkout.

prdtn · March 25, 2018, 2:56pm

ok looks better now

strn@piDNS:/var/www/html/admin$ sudo git checkout FTLDNS
Branch FTLDNS set up to track remote branch FTLDNS from origin.
Switched to a new branch 'FTLDNS'

and now pihole -up pihole or checkout web FTLDNS?

jacob.salmela · March 25, 2018, 2:57pm

Not pihole -up. Just run all these

echo "FTLDNS" | sudo tee /etc/pihole/ftlbranch
pihole checkout core FTLDNS
pihole checkout web FTLDNS

prdtn · March 25, 2018, 3:04pm

strn@piDNS:/var/www/html/admin$ pihole checkout core FTLDNS

GUI is working again, checkout worked like it should I guess.
Should the version namings look how they should be I can confirm that you solved the puzzle, great job jacob - thank you

jacob.salmela · March 25, 2018, 3:08pm

Yes, since it's not an official release, they don't have a pretty number attached to them.
