Error of 1st run

Aloha.

After dealing with few thing (missing dependencies, etc) I’m still getting this error.
My google-fu is not strong enough.

2017-08-02 02:07:50 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.core] Error doing job: Task exception was never retrieved

I take it you’ve simply installed HA and are trying to get it working?

What operating system are you installing on? How are you trying to install HA?

3

Yes, 1st time user.

Windows Subsystem for Linux
Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS
Python 3.5.2 (default, Nov 17 2016, 17:05:23)

Installed with pip.

When you say you used pip, do you mean you followed these instructions? If not, please provide a link to the instructions.

I fallowed those instructions and got similar results:

Might be worth disabling zeroconf (edit configuration.yaml and comment out the zeroconf: line).

There’s no such line there.

I tried moving configuration.yaml from home\homeassistant.homeassistant expecting it would recreate it, it doesn’t.

After much googling looks like bash issue.
Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.15063], same error on 2 different PCs, fast ring Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.16251.1000] - everything working out of the box.
Guess I have to wait on my production PC.

For what it’s worth I’m seeing the same error on Bash on Ubuntu on Windows with a bone-stock install, no configuration.yaml changes, on normal (not Insider) Windows 10.
