HA fail to start - unable to resolve dependency "updater"

Installation Home Assistant OS
1

Hi there,

yesterday HA works normally. Today in the morning I wanted to open my HA app, nothing happens.
So I checked at my PC with browser. Same result.

Then I’ve checked the logs in /var/snap/home-assistant/current/home-assistant.log
The entries are:

2021-11-06 09:20:56 WARNING (SyncWorker_0) [homeassistant.loader] We found a custom integration goecharger which has not been tested by Home Assistant. This component might cause stability problems, be sure to disable it if you experience issues with Home Assistant

2021-11-06 09:20:56 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.loader] Unable to resolve dependencies for default_config:  we are unable to resolve (sub)dependency updater

Reboot doesnt work. I’ve also disabled the custom integration goecharger in my configuration.yaml but the message still appears in logfile. I think the problem is the “unable to resolve dependency updater”.

I’M using home-assistant core.
Any ideas what I have to do to repair this? Thanks a lot!

Regards

Updater is part of default_config. Comment out default_config:, replace with

#default_config:

# Individual options represented by default_config
automation: !include automations.yaml
cloud:
config:
energy:
frontend:
history:
input_boolean: 
input_datetime:
input_number: 
input_select:
input_text:
logbook:
map:
mobile_app:
person:
script: !include scripts.yaml
ssdp:
sun:
system_health:
#updater:
zeroconf:
zone:

and see if HA starts.

Thank you francips! Now it’s starting. But how can I check whats the problem with updater component? I’ve changed nothing. What is the cause for this behavior?

Regards

I think you better open an issue on github about that. I don’t see any open issues

What file needs to be modified? I’m having the same issue as trekki1990, but having trouble finding where to comment out “default_config:”.

configuration.yaml

Thanks. Found it in /var/snap/home-assistant-snap/current.

Needed to remove the duplicated lines for “automation” and “script”, but then it was able to start.

I ran into some other failures after this and do a complete fresh install.
I’ve used ESXi and the HAOS for this. So now I have the ability to use Backups and can use easily addons. Its a better solution as snaps.
