Raspberry Pi OS 64 bit (BullsEye)

623

Does Raspberry Pi OS support boot from SSD?

624

Yes. Example

625

@Patrick010 @meni123 and others who had issues with Network Manager, it looks as thought eh PRs to fix that issue have been merged to fix the Debian 11.3 issue.

626

11.4 released on the weekend. does it require this fix? I have never seen an issue anyway. Is it only on installation?

627

@kanga_who My problem still exists,
In the installation I get the error

[warn] Could not find / etc/ default/ grub or / boot/cmdline. txt failed to switch to cgroup vl
628

Check if cmdline.txt exists in /boot/firmware. If so add systemd.unified_cgroup_hierarchy=false lsm=apparmor
Be also sure apparmor is installed.

629

I sub mitted a PR to have apparmor added to the dependencies for install and was told, after testing by one of devs, that it ships natively so wasn’t required. Seems like that may not be the case.

I think I will add it back to dependencies.

630

I did as you wrote and managed to get a supervised supervisor, but I started getting this error every few minutes! Does it have anything to do with it?

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "/usr/local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/aiohttp/web_protocol.py", line 334, in data_received

messages, upgraded, tail = self._request_parser.feed_data(data)

aiohttp.http_exceptions.BadStatusLine: 400, message="Bad status line 'Invalid method encountered'"
631

Supposedly apparmor was enabled in the kernel, but still got problems, so I installed, just to be sure. Problems gone :slight_smile:

Lucky for you, there’s a search option…https://github.com/home-assistant/core/issues/49009#issuecomment-860020095

Can anyone share how to disable starting up of home assistant installed using this method?

634

I understand the install does not work. Here is my 3rd log from a Pi 3, maybe it will help.
Looking forward to a fix, thanks!

You’ve used the Bookworm (Debian 12) image, which is not yet supported. You need to use the Debian 11 Bullseye image, as per Section 1.

You want this one. 2022.01.21 11 (Bullseye) 3 3B+

There is no fix for the issue you are facing with the RPI3 since nothing is broken here.

Maybe you really should follow the OP’s advice within the very first paragraph and

However, coming back to the issue you are facing. Please pay close attention to the topic of this thread. Especially when it comes to which Debian version is to be installed. I count the latter pointed out five times even before starting with “Section 1”.

Does the above fit-in with the Debian version to be installed according to this thread? :thinking:

i followed this guide exactly, just that my raspi 3B is booting with PXE from NFS. Sadly the system losses the network connection as soon as the supervisor container is started. I supecting that the network is being reset by the supervisor and thus i’m loosing the terminal and hassio is loosing its root fs… :confused: is that a known issue? I can’T really imagine i’m the first one trying to run supervised hassio from a network booted pi…?

638

You haven’t though.

This is outside the scope of the guide.

639

Dude… why be such a pain? Did i offend you? In case I did I’m sorry about that.

“, just that” sounds like i’m introducing a reservations about my previous statement, doesn’t it?
I’m aware of deviating from your guide. And I’m not complaining at you or at your guide. Its fantastic and i’m grateful you wrote it. Obviously its my personal problem if i want to do it differently and clearly i have no claim for help.

But if anyone has an idea why it doesn’t work, what the supervisor does when it starts that might cause the issue, or what I could try to make it work anyway – and wants to share it – that would be very nice. Is there something wrong with asking that here?

640

Looking for some advice from the debian experts here. Normally I can solve these issues myself w/ google. However I’m running into an issue.

Today, I noticed I’m getting connectivity_check unsupported in the system health. So, I enabled it however, it doesn’t appear to enable. I run

sudo busctl set-property org.freedesktop.NetworkManager /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager org.freedesktop.NetworkManager ConnectivityCheckEnabled b true

The logs NetworkManager logs show

Sep 11 13:33:18 NUC NetworkManager[482]: <info>  [1662917598.8344] audit: op="networking-control" arg="connectivity-check-enabled" pid=7460 uid=0 result="success"

however when I simply check the parameter (sudo or not)…

busctl get-property org.freedesktop.NetworkManager /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager org.freedesktop.NetworkManager ConnectivityCheckEnabled

it returns

b false

I’ve tried setting it with 1, true, and various other CLI routes to set this. What am I missing? How can I set this and move on?

641

I don’t use the RPI with HA anymore so this is a shot in the dark …

However, if I correctly recall the latter there has been a change back in March regarding that pesty unhealthy/unsupported status with the HA update in March. It is linked to an installed/active avahi-daemon which is not/should not be used anymore after changes to HA since 2022.3.x and which leads to that unhealthy/unsupported HA installation. systemd-resolved is to be used instead and avahi-daemon has to be disabled.

Have you checked whether avahi-daemon is running on you RPI?

sudo systemctl status avahi-daemon

If avahi-daemon is indeed running/loaded do:

sudo systemctl disable avahi-daemon.service
sudo systemctl stop avahi-daemon.service

Recheck to make sure the avahi-daemon has stopped:

sudo systemctl status avahi-daemon.service

If the service has been successfully stopped then do:

sudo systemctl start systemd-resolved

and make sure it has started correctly:

sudo systemctl status systemd-resolved

If it has do:

sudo systemctl enable systemd-resolved

and reboot the host system thereafter.

I hope this helps.
