Udevd[529]: bind failed: Address in use

Gtwizzy · February 16, 2021, 10:15pm

I’ve had this exact same error and I am BRAND NEW to HA this is literally my first ever install on a VirtualBox machine on an i5 laptop that I installed a clean windows build on with nothing else running.

I’ve read through so much of this post to figure out what is wrong and none of this relates to me as I can’t even start HA for the first time after getting this error let alone change the number of things people are suggesting might be the culprit.

I really need advice as this Noob has no idea what to do and its quickly scaring me off my migration to HA.

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP

Welcome @Gtwizzy!
Good that you try Home Assistant!

You can try to find a good guide to help you install HA in VirtualBox. Example: https://peyanski.com/home-assistant-on-windows-using-virtualbox/

And even though you may get the error, HA may still have started successfully.

What makes you say that Home Assistant is not starting?
Do you know the IP address of HA and tried to surf to http://a.b.c.d:8123 where a.b.c.d is the IP address?

Gtwizzy · February 18, 2021, 5:23pm

Hi mchangsp
Thankyou for the helpful link. I had tried to navigate to the home assistant login using the 3 different methods outlined in the install guide eg. homeassitant.local:8123, homeassistant:8213 and finally my IP address http://192.168.x.x:8212 and none of these will bring me to the login screen.

However I have just watched the beginning of the video in the link you sent me and now understand that I can make some changes in the system before getting into the login screen (like set a static IP) which I will now try out tomorrow to see if this allows me to login.

I’ll let you know how I go. Thank you in advance

Gtwizzy · February 18, 2021, 6:27pm

Ok so I set up static IP addresses and tried the whole thing again using the new static ipv4 address that I created and still can’t reach the login screen. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. I think at this point I should probably just start a clean install, and if I’m still having the issue post a new thread to the ‘installation’ area of the forums.

Thanks for your help though @mchangsp

sender · February 18, 2021, 6:41pm

@Gtwizzy please start a new topic. Your problem is different.

Gtwizzy · February 18, 2021, 6:50pm

Hi @sender it started as the same problem but seems to now no longer be this. I have already begun a new topic. Sorry for the inconvenience

I personally had this issue today, on a brand new install of Home Assistant OS in a fresh vm on Proxmox VE 6.3-3. I solved the issue by changing my “machine” from Q35 to i440fx.

This is under the Hardware heading.

mchangsp · February 20, 2021, 8:37am

My VM was already at i440fx before the problems started. Perhaps I have to switch to Q35?

modelstudent101 · February 21, 2021, 11:00am

I’m having the same error, except it’s showing devd[205] - this is the first time that I’ve installed HA on my computer, using VMware Workstation 16 Pro on a Windows machine. I’ve deleted the image, adjusted compatibility settings, changed network connections - all nada. If anyone finds a solution to this, please @ me. I can’t be too upset as it’s free and open source but I just spent 3 hours trouble shooting and can’t find a solution…

Bobby_Nobble · February 21, 2021, 1:43pm

5.11 seems to be junk, updating to it broke my HA setup. I used the 5.9 image and all is good again even though this error was present in that version too.

You can download it here…

modelstudent101 · February 21, 2021, 10:00pm

I was actually able to fix mine - I needed to go into the VMware Virtual Network Editor and manually add the Network Bridge. Hope this helps anyone else struggling with this issue on initial setup in VMware Workstation 16 Pro.

mchangsp · February 26, 2021, 11:15am

As @frenck predicted the error message “bind failed” disappeared when I upgraded to supervisor-2021.02.11.
Average reboot times for me (from the event “Home Assistant stopped” to “Home Assistant started”) is 4 minutes. Before Home Assistant version 2012.02 it was 2 minutes.

I will try to use https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/operating-system/debugging/
to see if I can find the source of the delay.

What for USB Sticks do you use?

mchangsp · February 26, 2021, 12:48pm

I am using the following USB devices in my Intel NUC - BOXNUC8I5BEH2:

a 500 GB WD USB hard disk in the back USB 2 port
a Conbee2 stick in the back USB 2 port
a Vodafone UMTS modem stick in the left front USB port of the NUC

WD USB hard disk and Conbee2 stick are working reliably.
The Vodafone stick works after restart of the NUC, and sometimes stops working silently.

Try to remove vodafone stick and usb hd, on my side a enocean stick, prevented a shutdown with 220 sec.

Have you reported this delay as an issue in Github home assistant core?

Hi - I am still having an issue - but my setup is this way - I have noticed if you have the console open when you are booting up you can see the VM booting.

mchangsp · March 28, 2021, 8:25pm

What have you noticed?

bates · March 28, 2021, 9:17pm

Ha. Yes good comment - didn’t notice anything! - but I was trying to help the person (turns out that was you) that wanted to notice something.

I think my problem is USB related. As I have a Zwave device and there seems to be a few problems pointed in this direction.
