Internet access DNS/DHCP issue?

Hi all , I have been st this for a while now and still havent had any luck. I have installed HAOS on HP laptop everything is working fine I have configured devices , automation etc with now issue . I tried to install HACS and it kept coming up with bad address i can ping 8.8.8.8 but not google.com . I have set HA and router (google nest wifi mesh) statis DNS 8.8.8.8 and HA to the same still doesnt work. I found some info here : DNS Issues in Homeassistant OS - #7 by xavi

Suggesting I use ‘‘echo nameserver 8.8.8.8 > /etc/resolv.conf’’ in the terminal , this works intitially I am able to ping google.com and managed to access the HACs to install but now it says I cannot authenticate with github , I also cant ping google.com again Im guessing the echo named server command is only a one off fix . I still cannot get HA to access the internet could this be an issue from ISP now that I am using a different router ?

Current config :

Please help :slight_smile:

Hi I have exactly the same Issue. On other pages i read that this can be an issue with balena etcher Installation on x68 installations. Did your installation also hangs? My on e did it.

Yeh Ive seen some stuff about that too however mine seems to load up fine I have devices working etc . It seems to boot up fine however I do have ‘‘Waiting for the home assistant CLI to be ready …’’ and " waiting for supervisor to start up" , maybe this also indicates the install isnt complete. Do you have the same ?

After much digging around I managed to solve this indeed it was an issue with the install apparently very common due to balena etcher having adware and spyware causing issues with internet connection.

Here are the steps (from the beginning):

  1. create bootable Ubuntu LTS USB Stick
  2. UEFI boot the machine from the USB stick
  3. “try” Ubuntu (live from USB stick)
  4. download haos_generic-x86-64-10.5.img.xz
  5. download USBimager & extract from zip file
  6. delete everything from the disk with the disk utility
  7. create one big Ext4 file system partion with gparted (disk utility wouldnt let me do it)
  8. sudo usbimager -a in a terminal window (otherwise it didn’t let me flash the disk)
  9. flash the SATA
  10. Reboot the PC and remove the USB stick

HAOS started right away , HACS installed no internet connection issues

*** Once you have created one big partition using gparted goto the disk utility and click play button this should mount the partition , if the partition is not mounted you will have not chance of USBimager finding it.

***USBimager certainly the way to go , I initially had issues trying to write to the SATA drive as USBImager wouldn’t find it hence the sudo usbimager -a

Full disclosure I am a novice at this , after alot of stuffing around this is what worked for me.
