I upgraded to Umbrel 0.5.1, running on RP 4 (8Gb). The Lightning Node app has been stuck on “installing” since then (several days). I’ve done several clean restarts, but to no avail.  
I’m thinking I need to stop the pending install and somehow clean it up before attempting again, but I can’t find the steps I need to take.  
Help would be greatly appreciated.

Maybe try this:

> **[Repeated 0.5.0 Upgrade failures: tried reflash of SD](https://community.umbrel.com/t/repeated-0-5-0-upgrade-failures-tried-reflash-of-sd/8331/6)**

> This solved the problem: umbrel@umbrel:~ $ rm umbrel/statuses/update-in-progress umbrel@umbrel:~ $ sudo systemctl restart umbrel-startup

You must make sure to have the most recent channel backup and 24 seed words before doing anything else.
