KVM Hypervisor is a huge piece of software with many settings.

I don’t know how to do this with Ubuntu Server or Home Assistant OS direct installation. With Ubuntu Desktop I’ve found how to solve both problems: edit /etc/systemd/nf and change lid switch behavior to lock, which turns off the screen but leaves the computer running.

Second is that closing the lid will put the machine to sleep, which defeats the point of a server. First is that the screen will always stay on, which wastes power.

Ubuntu Server has no knowledge of laptop components, so I’d be stuck with default hardware behavior that are problematic.

Whether it works with HAOS would be an important data point in that decision.Įven though I expect this computer to run as an unattended server most of the time, I installed Ubuntu Desktop instead of Ubuntu Server for two reasons: This is the hypervisor used by the Linux-based TrueNAS SCALE, to which I might migrate in the future. Undeterred, I tried a different tack: install Ubuntu Desktop 22.04 LTS and run HAOS as a virtual machine under KVM Hypervisor. HAOS 8.0 moved to a new boot procedure as per its release announcement, and the comments thread on that page had lots of users reporting boot problems. I couldn’t even copy down an error message due to scrambled text on screen. I was willing to run HAOS directly on the machine, but the UEFI boot process failed for reasons I can’t decipher. Using Ubuntu KVM Because Direct Installation Failed Boot

This laptop’s Core i5-3320M CPU launched ten years ago, but as a x86_64 capable CPU designed for power-saving laptop usage, it should suit Home Assistant well. Now it shall be my Home Assistant server, which is a robot brain of sorts. I pulled out a refurbished Dell Latitude E6230 I had originally intended to use as robot brain.

A lot of people use a Raspberry Pi, but in these times of hardware scarcity a Raspberry Pi is rarer and more valuable than an old laptop. I wanted to solve these problems and, given my good experience with Home Assistant, I was willing to give it dedicated hardware. I encountered some problems running Home Assistant Operating System (HAOS) as a virtual machine on a TrueNAS CORE server, which is based on FreeBSD and its bhyve hypervisor.
