Maybe I’m stating the obvious, but the first seems like ReefPi could not load a settings file. Specifically the telemetry, which includes MQTT, Adafruit IO and Prometheus Interfaxes if I’m not mistaken.

The second looks like ReefPi can’t get access to the I2C bus due to a right problem. I’m suspecting that ‚su‘ means SuperUser, the admin in Linux.

If it is persistent and you can’t get your I2C sensors or telemetry to work, I’d try exporting a database file and re-installing everything (Raspbian OS and ReefPi using @robsworld78‘s install script here ). Should not take too long.

I am having so many issues at the moment. Version 6.0 seems to have thrown everything out of wack. Just going to reformat the card and start from scratch.
