Installation very slow after reinstalling homeassistant and venv

Configuration
1

I tried to update my installation by renaming the working homeassistant venv and make a new one:

pip install virtualenv
cd ~/
python3 -m venv homeassistant
source homeassistant/bin/activate
pip3 install homeassistant

I made a backup so I could easily go back, but I need to know why it failed.

The new installation was very slow and PyNaCl was missing for the Mobile App component. The configuration check took a long time, restart failed.

What could have gone wrong? Did I miss some dependencies? Shouldn’t home assistant install all components?

2

What version of Python were you using for that? It should have been 3.9.

3

3.9.10 was installed on the Mac.

4

Then, possible reasons could include that it’s compiling modules. The log file should contain some hints, but checking the process list will give you other information.

5

This stays for a long time.
Wrapping up startup, not everything will be available until it is finished.

Then I get this when checking the config:
Integration error: default_config - Requirements for mobile_app not found: ['PyNaCl==1.4.0'].

Installed is version 1.5.0, if I downgrade it, it works and is much quicker.
pip install PyNaCl==1.4.0

So this is a bug in homeassistant installation 2022.3.3?

6

What custom components are you using? One of them is specifying PyNaCL 1.5.0 - HA requires 1.4.0.

7

That makes sense. How can I find out what custom_components install?

It was config-editor. I deleted it.

Thanks for your help

8

I have this error again. How can I find the component making the issue?
Must be another one as well.

9

Check the manifest.json for all your custom components, then open an issue with the developer.

10

There are none under requirement nor dependencies.

I had one, but I removed it.

How do you uninstall a custom_component manually? Just removing the folder or is it more? Where are their setting saved?

Btw. is it safe to remove ~/.homeassistant/.storage/HACS I don’t have it anymore (I also just deleted the folder in custom components).

11

To remove a custom component:

  1. Remove the integration (through the UI or YAML as appropriate)
  2. Restart HA
  3. Delete the folder

Yes, you can remove that file.

12

Let’s say, I didn’t do the first step. :neutral_face:

How can I fix that?

13

Well, if it’s YAML then you can just remove the YAML and go.

if it’s UI setup though, you’ll need to reinstall the component.

14

I tried out a lot in the beginning. Where can I find what was/is installed?

15

Check your log file for errors, see what it’s complaining about - if anything.

16

There is nothing showing up.

17

If there’s no errors or warnings then you have nothing to worry about.
