Hi that is normal. Only thing is that I don’t see it mentioning the IP address it’s using. Can you check that you have an ethernet cord connecting your device to your router?

Please keep in mind that Umbrel is accessed through a web browser so the device running it will always be a terminal. You can access it by [http://umbrel.local](http://umbrel.local) or http://.

Super struggling to get my pi to work. I assume that the sd has been flased. I assume that I have my bridge connected. But when I plug the sd card into the pi, I get nothing.

Did you follow the installation instructions? did you try to connect to it using a web browser?  
Where do you get nothing?

Another thing you can add if you can get logged in to find the IP Address is this command:

umbrel@umbrel:~$ ip a | grep 192.168  
inet 192.168.1.116/24 brd 192.168.1.255

Then, [http://192.168.1.116](http://192.168.1.116)
