Error when restarting hass

Configuration

Hi all,

I just restarted the Pi with HA and found this error in the log:

Jun 25 12:05:47 dyaHomeAutomation systemd[1]: Starting Home Assistant...

yeah, I tried that too …

eventually, the only way I made it work back was re-installing.

I have now move to Docker so, re-install is done in a matter of minutes. :slight_smile:
