Stuck on Preparing Home Assistant

Configuration
1

I installed Home Assistant on a virtual machine using virtual box following this tutorial --> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVqyDtEjudk

I tried accessing the main menu from the browser and it’s stuck on Preparing Home Assistant.

Sorry I’m new to this… What should I do ?

2

How long did you wait?

3

I waited like one hour and nothing happened

4

And now you want someone to watch an 18 minute video to see what you/he may have done wrong? Nah.

What are the steps he recommends?

5

Definitely not … he did nothing special … it’s the same steps as in this PDF

I followed it by word and got stuck on Preparing Home Assistant

thanks for the help

Cheers, nice guide.

What network emulation did you choose? I found it a bit picky.

7

What do you mean ?

8

bridged connection with promiscuous mode set to allow all

9

Page 6 of the PDF, what is the Adapter Type?

10

Intel dual band wireless-ac 3165
i think it’s the host laptop’s adapter

11

Not the name, the adapter type

12

intel pro/1000 MT Desktop (82540EM)

sorry for the confusion

13

Did this get solved? I have the exact same issue.

14

Yeah, did anyone figure this out? I have the same issue too.

15

I have the same issue as well. I’m running VirtualBox on my iMac (running High Sierra) with the below network configuration.

Attached to: Bridged Adapter
Adapter Type: Intel PRO/1000 MT Desktop (82540EM)
Promiscuous Mode: Allow All

Tried the same in Windows 10 as well, with the same VDI file.

Half a day later…
Still waiting for the 20 minutes to be over.
