Hi Dejan,

Yes I sow it after I post it but hopping that was corrected.

Anyway I have to install UBUNTU 20 LTS to cope with it hopping the team will correct it for UBUNTU 22 LTS or other newer.

Having said that I will mark this as answered since the initial problem corrected by upgrading to 2.5.5

Regards

Hi Vasilis,

Documentation provides information about supported operating systems. You can read there that your operating system Ubuntu 22.04 LTS is only supported at the Tier 3 level on x64 system.

Best regards,

UPDATE

Hi Dejan

After making a lot of fresh updates to both OS (WIN and LINUX) I think I found the cause of the problem.

The problem is Kconfig of course and all I did I uninstalled it from VS. The program is building OK. (Kconfig extension is not needed?)

That is only happening in UBUNTU 22 LTS. In windows is working OK!

My initial question for this ticket was "Lesson 4 Exercise 2 is NOT executing"

Now building it with SDK v2.5.0 program is building (both in WIN and LINUX) and executing OK in the nRF7002 DK.

So question remains can I work without Kconfig? and why that causes problem in UBUNTU 22 LTS? I did not have problem with the previews SDK.

Regards

Vasilis

Hi,

Unfortunately I have errors in Kconfig and python after doing a fresh install 2.5.0 (Ubuntu 22 installation)

I have the error in VS:

"kconfig requires python 3.7"

https://drive.google.com/file/d/18T5pbS39yPCorTfQPFhQFC1NOkknz9kE/view?usp=sharing

Then I gave the path for python 3.7 . That is: /usr/bin

I now have the error in VS:

invalid path executable "/usr/bin":spawn/bin/sh ENOENT

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hFluSiXsQY1a0sIt7DP5l-FjodBec0qv/view?usp=sharing

I did not have those errors previously

Here is what I have done:

I now have made a full clean installation in everything and proceed according to instructions.

A - Install VS Code

B - Install nRF Connect for Desktop

C - Run nRF Connect for Desktop and:

1 - From Toolchain Manager in nRF Connect for Desktop the nRF Connect SDK v 2.5.0 is installed
2 - After installation "Open VS Code" button pressed and missing missing extensions are installed
3 - VS is lunched but with the python errors in Kconfic

May be some king of rights?

I am stacked and time is running out.

Regards

Hi Dejan,

Sorry for the late replay.

Yes the warning creates no problem. I was not able to try your solution. I was busy getting my certificate "SDK Fundamentals".

I got it now and I feel more confident. Unfortunately I was not able to run some examples but I will come back this week.

I updated everything to the latest version and see how it goes.

I also want to try in windows as well because some devices like Thingy:91 can communicate with SDK desktop in windows but not in Ubuntu.

I am in the middle of trying hard to see what exactly causes this malfunction.

Ubuntu is working fine with the nRF7002 DK but refuses to recognize Thingy:91.

All that in a very strict time frame we have because we must prepare our NordicPico module for the "MAKE IT MATTER" and NordiCube for the "CONNECT FOR GOOD" contest.

Learning the SDK and getting the certificate took more than I expected and now we are in panic.! Clock is ticking and future seems unclear...

After preparing some hardware setup for out Matter project I will come back with the "NOT RUNNING" programs

Regards

Hi,

The warning you received is not something to be very concerned about.

Have you tried downgrading to some earlier version (for example NCS v2.4.2) or upgrading to NCS v2.5.0? Does this make any difference?

Best regards,
Dejan
