I wish to set up Hassbian on a Raspberry Pi at home. The installation is easy and works just fine. However, I’ve built the configuration.yaml on my local laptop and it has the vlc component installed for google Text-to-Speech scripts. When I opened the dashboard on my pi, the VLC component was not there. So I tried installing VLC multiple times (just the standard apt-get install vlc) But the installation always fails!
Not only does the installation of VLC fail, but after this failure home assistant is no longer able start and so I’ve to reinstall Hassbian.
Furthermore I’ve already broken 2 micro SD cards in the process as formatting and re-imaging the sd-card leaves it undetectable for any machine. (For this I’m using the SD-Formatter and Etcher)
Has anyone come across this issue and does anyone have a fix?
Thanks, I wasn’t aware of VLC-noX, I hope that one works, new SD should be delivered tomorrow.
And I am aware that it won’t magically appear As said, I’ve configured everything on a local machine, where everything including VLC works. Only after the port to HassBian. VLC no longer showed up (because it wasn’t installed yet).
I really, really, really don’t know what I’m doing wrong…
Has no one seriously experienced the same issue that has wrecked 3 SD-cards so far?
I did as you said: sudo apt update, sudo apt install vlc vlc-nox.
Same issue as installing the full VLC.
It won’t complete and fails with an error, after which homeassistant stops working and will not boot anymore.
Ok… that looks like either a corrupted cd card or an incomplete install of the OS. Have you tried downloading a new image? Also, try apt update; apt upgrade first to get the latest packages and patches installed…
