Autostart / systemd issue on Fedora 25

Installation
1

Hi all,

I wasn’t sure if I should add on to the other Autostart thread or not, but I’m having a similar issue.

I’m on Fedora 25, and I followed the Installation howto using a Python 3 venv and the Autostart howto and I’m getting this when I try to update and start systemd:

[homeassistant@mythtv system]$ sudo systemctl --system daemon-reload
[homeassistant@mythtv system]$ sudo systemctl enable [email protected]
[homeassistant@mythtv system]$ sudo systemctl start home-assistant@homeassistant
[homeassistant@mythtv system]$ sudo systemctl status home-assistant@homeassistant -l
[email protected] - Home Assistant
Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/[email protected]; enabled; vendor preset: disabled)
Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Sun 2017-01-29 19:42:38 CST; 4s ago
Process: 29699 ExecStart=/srv/homeassistant/bin/hass -c /home/homeassistant/.homeassistant (code=exited, status=203/EXEC)
 Main PID: 29699 (code=exited, status=203/EXEC)

Jan 29 19:42:38 mythtv systemd[1]: Started Home Assistant.

Jan 29 19:42:38 mythtv systemd[1]: [email protected]: Failed with result 'exit-code'.

Here is my [email protected] systemd file:

[Unit]
Description=Home Assistant
After=network.target

[Service]
Type=simple
User=homeassistant
#make sure the virtualenv python binary is used
Environment=VIRTUAL_ENV="/srv/homeassistant/"
Environment=PATH="$VIRTUAL_ENV/bin:$PATH"
ExecStart=/srv/homeassistant/bin/hass -c /home/homeassistant/.homeassistant

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

If I run the command

/srv/homeassistant/bin/hass -c /home/homeassistant/.homeassistant

From the commandline as the homeassistant user, Home Assistant starts fine. Yet when I try to to start it via systemd, it fails. This makes me think I have the Path variables correct, as does:

[homeassistant@mythtv system]$ cd /srv/homeassistant/
[homeassistant@mythtv homeassistant]$ ls
bin  include  lib  lib64  pip-selfcheck.json
[homeassistant@mythtv homeassistant]$

What am I missing?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Having exactly the same issue getting systemd to start the homeassistant service in a virtual env on Fedora 25. Same unit file, same error, and running the hass command manually works fine. Did you ever resolve this - I have been trying to figure this one but it has has me stumped completely.
cheers, Joe.

No, I was unfortunately never able to figure it out either.

Thanks prcutler. I tried some more work on this but am now giving up. I have done some systemd stuff with other projects and have usually been able to figure it out, but this on has me stumped. That combined with an error in the openzwave makefile thats stopping me building that component means I am looking to other solutions besides HomeAssistant.
