Supervisor issue on VM

Hi everyone,
I’ve been running Home Assistant (HA) on a Virtual Machine hosted on my Synology NAS. Unfortunately, a power outage occurred yesterday, which caused the NAS to shut down unexpectedly.

After powering it back on, the VM displayed the following screen and has been stuck like this for several hours:


When I try to connect to the VM:

here’s the error message I found:
.

I’d really appreciate any help or suggestions on how to recover from this issue.

Thanks in advance!

The only error I can see when I try to restart the VM is:

That error usually means there is something wrong with the install.
You can try a temporary fix by doing the following from the CLI:

supervisor repair
supervisor restart
banner

repair and restart ,the banner command is just to get the start screen to showup. That will tell you if it started alright this time.

Looking at past posts about this its a temporary fix till your next VM restart.
But this will get you in HA and you’ll be able to make a backup from which you can restore the new VM you will create.

I have already the backup. So your suggestion is to create a new VM?
The backup is now on the same NAS where HA runs. Should I move it somewhere else before to create a new VM?

Creating a new VM should not impact the backup on your NAS.
Assuming the backup is not on the VM you run HA on.

should I delete the current VM before to create a new one?

Thats up to you.
You can try the “fix” and see if that works for you.
You can create a new VM and try that out for a while before deleting the old one, just keep the old VM powered down while the new one is up.
Or you can delete the VM, create a new one and go from there.

Thats the beauty of VM’s. Can always power up a new one :smiley:
