any ideas on this please

Running HAOS on a PC that has Ubuntu installed - nothing else

So an unsupported install method. Supervised requires Debian OS, no derivatives.

So I know the problem too, but with a regular installation on a Nuc and only one thing helped for me, a complete new installation.
I spent 3 days looking and couldn’t find a real solution. Try another longer USB extension and see your Z2m.
This is how my configuration looks now and that’s the only one that works.
I haven’t created a user anymore, it also works without one.

Thank you Bimbo, I might start again with a clean install as you recommend. I have no integrations in my system as I am only setting up for the first time.
