Ok so I did that and logged into umbrel via browser — tried to install core, still having having the button that stays install, quickly goes to install 0% when I press it then reverts back to install.
It’s possible that your device is now at http://umbrel-2.local if your router assigned it a new hostname, so would be worth checking that as well.
Can’t navigate to that. Is there an easy nuclear option that involves me resyncing the chain / starting from scratch?
No worries, I was typing that before your message came through that you logged in successfully to the browser.

The nuclear option is to:
- Shut down the Pi
- Remove and wipe your SSD (the hard-drive that contains all your data)
- Reconnect the SSD to the Pi
- Make sure ethernet is connected
- Plug in the Pi
umbrelOS will then recognize that you have an SSD without umbrel data on it and will format the drive and start a fresh install for you.
Before we do that, could you please send me your logs again (Install button not working - #5 by mayank) and let me know if you are using the official Raspberry Pi power supply or something different?
uhh damn. so when I do that, it asks for the password obviously. Neither my original password or moneyprintergobrrr works.
Interesting. Are you currently SSH’d into your umbrel within an old session pre-reflash? Or is this being accidentally run on you local machine?
I reset the password in settings, it accepted that for some reason.

hit me up if you think there’s anything worth trying still, otherwise I’ll just try to nuke the SSD in a day or so.
I’m not sure if this is to be expected or not, but plugging in the SSD from my umbrel to my mac gives this.

This is expected. Your mac can’t read the ext4 format of your SSD. You can still open Disk Utility on macOS and erase/reformat the disk. Once the disk is wiped you can then use it for umbrelOS again. umbrelOS will find the wiped disk and format it correctly.
@fontoshi @cryptogoody can you both please try the following for me and report back if this fixes your issue:
It’s possible that this is a DHCP race condition issue. We can try changing from dhclient to NetworkManager’s own internal DHCP implementation.
-
SSH into your umbrel
-
Run the following command
sudo sed -i 's/dhcp=dhclient/#dhcp=dhclient/g' /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf && sudo reboot -
wait a bit for your device to reboot and then visit http://umbrel.local and try installing an app.
unfortunately the problem is persisting — unless it’s useful for you to keep investigating I think I’ll just wipe the SSD. Do I need to reflash the SD to restart from scratch too?
Ah sorry about this @fontoshi. It’s not strictly necessary to reflash the microSD, but please do so for good measure.
Let me know if you still encounter the same issue.
No harm done mate, I really appreciate all your help. Will let you know how the reboot goes.
Installation is working.

Excellent, thanks for the update!
Wow, still not working for me. It just doesn’t make sense. Everything else, every other app, network device anything i plug in works on my system. I have had nothing else ever blocked like this. I wish it would just work…
Thanks for your help trying…
LOL I tried a few suggestion of Bing “CoPilot” AI and here are a few screenshots from my terminal. I don’t know if it will trigger anything for you or not…
@nmfretz has there been any change or success since we last spoke?
Did my log file I sent you help in any way?
Please let me know. I don’t really like the idea of moving down to umbrel .54 or whatever it was as a solution. I hope I can get this to working with the current OS going forward.
thanks, Jonathan
