Hi,
I had a problem recently whereby I was unable to restart HA from the UI. HA just stops and I have to ssh in and restart with systemctl restart home-assistant.
I tried a bunch of things to address this, but nothing worked so I made a completely fresh install of both HA and DietPi and I still have the problem.
I am not sure, therefore, whether this is a problem with HA 2022.2 which I recently upgrades or DietPi from apt update or something else.
Has anyone else noticed this problem?
I don’t have an answer on your question bu first thing would be to have a look into service status and log file
systemctl status home-assistant
journalctl -u home-assistant
Thanks.
there are some HA log entries to do with ffmpeg (below) but nothing that I can see wrt not restarting.
How do I check the service status? htop simply shows that HA isn’t running.
cheers!

once you hit the restart button, the service status can be checked using
systemctl status home-assistant
cheers.
When it is running, I get this:

systemctl restart home-assistant always works.
can you do following, reboot your system first. Got to HA and try to restart application. Once done, collect the entire log file and share it
systemctl status home-assistant
journalctl -u home-assistant
sure - but to check, do you want me to delete the log file before restarting (so you haven’t got dross in it)? Also, do Hou want me to use the journalctl command you posted?
logs will be cleared automatically on reboot. That’s why I ask to do so. Once restarted HA, execute both commands pls.
OK,
systemctl status home-assistant gives:

and, journalctl -u home-assistant is huge, so put it in a file but that’s also too huge to post.
I could provide a cloud storage link where you could upload the file if you are ok
But at least the service seems to be active and not in failed status. Did you restart HA from GUI already?
sorry - forgot to do that.
I am OK with the cloud storage link and I appreciate your help in all this. I will need to do that for the log files as well.
I don’t have permission to upload.
Sorry was read only. Should be working now
done and thanks.
It’s late here so grabbing something to eat.
what time you restart your device? Because the console.log contains 3 hours of log.
There seems to be an issue with
[haffmpeg.core] FFmpeg fails [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'ffmpeg'
and something with a template you are running. This seems to fill the log most
[homeassistant.helpers.template] Template warning:
You should try ti fix this first to get a better view on what’s going on.
Thanks.
It was a brand new install from scratch. I literally flashed the SD card, started DietPi and installed HA.
edit: should add I am referring to the ffmpeg issue. The template tis me just messing about re-installing things as it was a brand new flashed SD.
on the initial post you stated about an upgrade of HA. But how does it fit if this was a brand new install? Usually all packages should be up-to-date on a fresh install 
I got the problem on or around upgrading to HA 2020.2. I tried to restore to an older version but the restore failed.
I therefore decided to try a complete fresh install but the problem persisted.
I then started this thread.
I can only assume this is a problem in HA 2022.2 or a conflict between HA 2022.2 and DietPi.
what system you are running? Probably I could try to replicate
