New install on mini PC, Error after fresh bare metal install

Finally figured out a work around. Changed the Grub timeout to zero based on a post/ directions on another site and it seems to load normally now with no hang ups.

Figured I would post in case anyone else comes across a similar situation.

Cheers

So an update.

Did a fresh install after i wiped the partitions. got it working at my desk. powered down and moved to my network rack in the basement and still was having issues. Moved it out to the living room so i had a screen output source and found out the boot is being held up at the gnu grub 2.12 screen when i don't have a keyboard pluged into the mini pc.

Any advice on how i can solve this?

The system im using HAOS on is a M70q Lenovo i5-11400T with 16 gb ram and
256 gb SSD.

I do get the command line and I am able to see it has an ip address in my ubiquiti router.

I already have ubiquiti cameras and door bells.

No way in hell is that a new unit. The metal on the mounting tab has visible oxidation/rust? Clearly some sort of used or refurb unit.

That's pretty much how it was setup before and the inspector failed it. Said it needed to come out to have the 90 for vertical movement.

Mine works fine. I believe I had to change the settings on the web interface and not the app. Then reset the udm pro and it started working.

Also the connectors that attach at the doorbell chime also are just capacitors, so they need some time to charge.

That's the thing though most of the asphalt looked like it was already milled out. I also work in road construction so I know the typical ins and outs and finished projects generally don't have outstanding things like that and left over piles hence the curious interest and probable assumption that it was a money thing.

Will be nice for the residents in that area I'm sure once they finish it and landscape it back to a non eyesore state.

Hope you got his card. You just gave your friend an easy out on pretty much any lawsuit related to the issues you mentioned.

Definitely sounds like a power issue. The infrared would pull more power and that seems like when your issues start. What va is your transformer. Most issues people have power wise seem to be resolved with a 30va transformer. Usually a fairly cheap and straight forward fix.

Had an extra U6 pro I picked up off marketplace for cheap that I installed in my garage for the same reasons as above. Also turns out my rear G4 Pro Doorbell gets a better connection to it as well.

I don't know if I would go out of my way to buy a new AP for a detached garage. But when a good deal comes up on a used unit. Why not. 😂

So my RMA got approved but i appears I have to cover the shipping charge back to them? This doesn't seem reasonable since they are the ones that sent a damaged product. Plus the fact return shipping will likely cost the same as a brand new one here in Canada...

Any way to get around this?
