given you say "on my windows computer" I assume you have setup a virtual machine of some sort? can you explain the install you actually have?

icy dock Oct 22, 2025, 9:18 PM

icy dock Oct 22, 2025, 9:19 PM

#

bare metal

gilded ermine Oct 22, 2025, 9:20 PM

#

what hardware is the system?

icy dock Oct 22, 2025, 9:20 PM

#

idk

#

im new to this

#

i just started like 1 hr

gilded ermine Oct 22, 2025, 9:21 PM

#

what is the computer that you installed it on?

icy dock Oct 22, 2025, 9:21 PM

#

kano windows 10 but i erassed the windows and perm installed home assistant

#

am i screwed

#

or do i need to instal a wifi driver

gilded ermine Oct 22, 2025, 9:26 PM

#

i havent heard of a kano before but a quick google teells me its a bit of an odd system

#

i suspect that the wifi adaptor is just not supported. you could try getting a usb one instead. but at that point you might as well get a usb ethernet adaptor and use a wired connection which will be more reliable.

#

do u think i could download the wifi driver

#

on it

gilded ermine Oct 22, 2025, 9:30 PM

#

no

icy dock Oct 22, 2025, 9:30 PM

#

ok

#

i cant acess home assitant

gilded ermine Oct 22, 2025, 9:31 PM

#

its very strange hardware. i guess you decided to use it because you had it laying around

icy dock Oct 22, 2025, 9:31 PM

#

yea

#

its like an old laptop

gilded ermine Oct 22, 2025, 9:33 PM

#

you could try installing debian or ubuntu and see if there is some driver support there, then run a container install inside docker instead of a haos install.

icy dock Oct 22, 2025, 9:33 PM

#

so i sh

#

i did do ubuntu and then i installed this

gilded ermine Oct 22, 2025, 9:33 PM

#

but honestly you might be better off looking for something else to run it on

icy dock Oct 22, 2025, 9:33 PM

#

o

#

i loooked it up and i said i was compatible

#

do u think a chorme book would do the job

#

or icould get like and eithernet

#

and do it that way

gilded ermine Oct 22, 2025, 9:35 PM

#

icy dock do u think a chorme book would do the job

it totally depends on the actual hardware of the system.

icy dock Oct 22, 2025, 9:36 PM

#

k

gilded ermine Oct 22, 2025, 9:37 PM

#

icy dock i did do ubuntu and then i installed this

so instead of livebooting ubuntu and then flashing the drive with haos. you could actually install ubuntu then use docker to run containerised HA instead of HAOS. but the hardware is so limited this may cause other issues anyway

#

or, if having 8 gb ram in laptop, use it to install proxmoxVE and install HAOS as a vm inside proxmox.
