Yes, I tried that and it allows me to login as root. I ran systemctl status systemd-timesyncd.service and it appears that the timesync did occur just fine (i read on another thread that sometimes a failed time sync caused some issues in the past)
next i tried running ‘ha’ to see if it would come up.
# ha
Error: No such container: hassio_cli
#
It appears that the CLI did not install at all?
