I have a Pi3 with 7" display and want the display to work…can’t install HASSbian 1.1 it has a error and the display just doesn’t work. The All-In-One crashes. Can someone point me to how to install HA. I have re-formatted my sd card (16g) 4 different times and restarted the All-In-One with no luck, even tried following BRUH video. The All-In-One installer has the wrong command to install, the curl one doesn’t’ work. I used the wget one and that just keeps on crashing. I just tried the manual install and no luck. Yes I have used the sudo apt-get updated and upgraded
If you have the patience, I would try the All In One installer one more time. I had a very similar issue where I thought that the install would crash. I did the same, reformatted and tried to re-install but same results, even tried a new card. I tried it one last time, but let it run for a good 5 to 6 hours, even if it seemed that it had crashed again. Well seems like the install is still going strong in the background. So fire up the install, leave for work, go to bed and check it several hours later. Hope it works for you.
thanks for your reply, the all-in-one installer stops/crashes it reboots and stops . I’m doing a reformat of my sd card and will try it for the 5th time
If you get stuck again, remember to provide details of what the errors are. Without any details we’re reduced to guesswork. The AIO installer should just work, but again if you’re having problems then details will help.
I suspect though that a fresh SD card may be in order, since if you’re having things crash like that, it usually indicates a hardware issue.

Thanks for replying, I did a write format and re- imaged my sd card (16mg)
And started a reinstall but it timed out some time into it, just restarted again. I believe some of my problem was the command to start the HA install is wrong, so I went back to BRUH video and copied that install command. I’ll keep my fingers cross.
This is the last time out message I got, I re-started it again.
Warning: sudo() received nonzero return code 1 while executing ‘ln -s /usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-pac
kages/cec /srv/homeassistant/homeassistant_venv/lib/python3.4/site-packages’!
this is the command I used to start HA installation
wget -Nnv https://raw.githubusercontent.com/home-assistant/fabric-home-assistant/master/hass_rpi_installer.sh && bash hass_rpi_installer.sh;
just did it again…not sure what to try?
I’m going to try this command
wget -Nnv https://raw.githubusercontent.com/home-assistant/fabric-home-assistant/master/hass_rpi_installer.sh && chown pi:pi hass_rpi_installer.sh && bash hass_rpi_installer.sh
we will see? so confused as why there are so many different ways or commands to install. Really not sure which one to use. any help with that
There are many install options, because it depends on what you’re starting from. Some people have a blank slate and a spare Raspberry Pi, some already have a Pi or some other computer they’re using.
Your simplest approach is probably Hassbian, closely followed by an install of Raspbian and then use the All in One installer. It looks like you’re trying the AOI installer, are you saying that when you run the installer you get the error message:
Warning: sudo() received nonzero return code 1 while executing 'ln -s /usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/cec /srv/homeassistant/homeassistant_venv/lib/python3.4/site-packages'!
It’s important though that you follow the instructions carefully.

if I use the Hassbian install I can’t use my 7" pi display. all-in-one just keeps crashing/stopping with this
Warning: sudo() received nonzero return code 1 while executing ‘ln -s /usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-pac
kages/cec /srv/homeassistant/homeassistant_venv/lib/python3.4/site-packages’!
I’ve now tried 6 re-format and followed the instructions of the all-in-one. I even tried 4 different install commands trying to find the one that works. This last try I just use the command again that is listed in the all-in-one that wouldn’t work the very first time I tried because of the $ in front, I removed the $ and it started the setup but it stop at the above “Warning” so I restarted it without reformatting the sd card with no luck
Using Hassbian just means you have to make the required changes to use the display. Are you starting with Raspbian or Raspbian Lite? Can you post the contents of /home/pi/fabric-home-assistant/installation_report.txt somewhere like Pastebin.
Just to ensure there’s not a problem with the installer, I ran a fresh install on a spare Pi. The install ran as expected, rebooted, and HA is running. It could be that you’ve got a failing SD card - have you tried a fresh one?

stopped installing again with this message, again the same results

If I use the Hassbian 1.1 install method it installed and HA ran but it had this message.

Have you tried a fresh SD card yet?
The exact same issue is happening to me and the users here: All in one on a Rapsberry PI 3 fails
I personally had HASS w/ the AIO installer, but had to format my SD and start all over again. I believe it has nothing to do with the card, because mine was running fine before and it displayed the error the moment I set it up all over again. I also opened an issue on the AIO Github page, where you can access my installation log: https://github.com/home-assistant/fabric-home-assistant/issues/47
I am going crazy over this. I looked for help everywhere I could until I stumbled upon this topic. I personally am at a loss. I just want to have HA back up and running, but I can’t do it, for the life of me. The AIO always gives me this error (I am on my 10th try), the Hassbian - as far as I know - does not have open z-wave installed (and I need it), and I’ve tried installing HA manually and it only works as long as I have the PuTTY on. If I close it, I can no longer access the HA dashboard.
@Tinkerer can you have a look at my installation log (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8x-gIVzQ7IKeXAzbWpOeXh4WlU/view) and see if there is something we might be doing wrong?
I am also not sure if this could be an AIO problem or if it has something to do with the latest Raspbian release. I know I previously ran AIO without any issues (about 4 months ago) and the oldest report about this issue I could find is only 7 days old.
@robbiet480 @CCOSTAN since you guys are contributors on the AIO Github page (and CCOSTAN, you personally helped me out on the Gitter page a while ago), can you also have a look at this, please? I would be so thankful 
It could be an issue with Raspbian versions, my spare Pi that I tested on was installed from 2016-09-23 Jessie Lite. Now, it is up to date, but it’s possible that’s enough of a difference. Sadly I don’t have a totally spare Pi to test with at the moment.
That log is from a totally fresh install? I’m seeing various Errors and Warnings that suggest that there’s an existing install.
As for the PuTTY issue, sounds like you didn’t start HA with the startup scripts. How were you starting it?
That log was from a second install. I tried running it one time and it failed, so I tried a second time. I did not keep a copy from the first try, but the last error (the one that actually aborts the installation and is reported by all the other users here) is always the same. I can try running a fresh install once I get home from work and post it again.
As for the PuTTY issue, I used this page: https://home-assistant.io/docs/installation/raspberry-pi/
So, my last command was the $ hass and it runs fine, but if I close PuTTY, it stops and I have to run the hass command again to get it to work. Is there an extra command I’m missing?
Also, is there a way to download a previous version of Raspbian to see if the issue goes away? I can’t find anything on the official page.

just glad that I’m not the only one have this issue, I tried a 10th time, I think losing track on how many times and still the same error massage as above. Carlos if you get the fix PLEASE share it, I’m dead in the water also
Hi,
If you start it (when you can) with …
sudo systemctl restart home-assistant.service
from putty it’ll start as root and shouldn’t close when you exit putty.
Try here.
I do note though that there’s no apparent error in the logs that’s stopping the install. Once it reaches the end, have you checked to see if HA starts?
I found 2016-9-23 version and will try that shortly here.
Tinkerer
I created a disk image using, as you mention above version 2016-09-23 Jessie Lite, I used the All-In-One installer and followed the instructions.
Good so far, then I opened my FireFox browser logged onto HA Bingo It worked! BUT there is that massage at the bottom of the home screen, its the same message that I posted earlier…Please Help
This is the message:
17-03-20 18:01:32 WARNING (Thread-8) [netdisco.ssdp] Error fetching description at https://192.168.1.114:8888
What gives? Can I update PI? Can I update HA?
any help would be appreciated
“17-03-20 18:01:32 WARNING (Thread-8) [netdisco.ssdp] Error fetching description at https://192.168.1.114:8888”
the network discovery tried to identify that device and failed. Nothing to worry about, unless the device with that IP has a service you actually expect to work in HA
I have disco errors too and it’s just an computer with a media player, which denies guest users from using it.
