HA 0.58.1 can't start - Loaded: not-found (Reason: No such file or directory)

Configuration
1

After update to 0.58.1 the HA do not start:

sudo systemctl start [email protected]
Failed to start [email protected]: 
 Unit [email protected] failed to load: No such file or directory.

sudo systemctl status [email protected]
● [email protected]
   Loaded: not-found (Reason: No such file or directory)
   Active: inactive (dead)

This will work:

sudo -u homeassistant -H /srv/homeassistant/bin/hass
  Config directory: /home/homeassistant/.homeassistant
  ....

How can i re-enable the sudo systemctl status [email protected] ?

Thanks

I am not familiar with systemd, but that error indicates that your startup script is missing. On init system, those scripts are located in /etc/rc.d/init.d/. I have no clue what the equivalent systemd location would be.

Thanks but there is a file:

/etc/systemd/system/[email protected]

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

[Service]
Type=simple
User=%i
ExecStart=/srv/homeassistant/bin/hass -c "/home/homeassistant/.homeassistant"

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

File hass and folder /home/homeassistant/.homeassistant exits.

Starts HA.

Did you try enabling the service…

You need to reload systemd to make the daemon aware of the new configuration.
$ sudo systemctl --system daemon-reload

To have Home Assistant start automatically at boot, enable the service.
$ sudo systemctl enable home-assistant@[your user]

To start Home Assistant now, use this command.
$ sudo systemctl start home-assistant@[your user]

Also the the start after network should be …
After=network-online.target
not sure that will make a difference tho’.

From the error it looks to me like you created it wrong…

/etc/systemd/system/homeassitant.service < ------- you are missing an s in homeassistant :wink: or rather you are calling it wrong :wink:

I would recreate it with the correct name as later you will forget and won’t know why it’s not working again :stuck_out_tongue:
