Hello, I recently installed nrf sdk but I have trouble getting through getting started phase. I'm using ubuntu 24.04 and created workspace environment using CLI.
Below is both my command and output:

I'm not sure of NRF sdk version since workspace should use one its own. Since I didn't specify it I think it should be today's latest one.
I do have zephyr-sdk-0.17.0 directory in my home directory though.
I'm using west 1.3.0 from my system although it's included in the toolchain. I'm not running the west in the nrf shell as I already have one in my system. Could that be an issue? I already tried running it inside nrf shell but it fails with python error, as my project for some reason required at least python 3.10 when the toolchain uses 3.8. I have python 3.12 installed on my system so that error only occurs in the nrf shell.
I didn't change any settings. and the menuconfig command fails with same error.
Speaking of configs, the hello_world example has empty prj.conf file. I think all the config values that causes warnings above are built-in and not from my project.
I've also tried blinky example. It has less Kconfig warnings? Below is its log:

Although I'm planning to make application for nrf21540dk/nrf52840, I currently don't have it as target, as I can't configure basic project setup. I am just trying out some popular boards that I think would have good official support first so I can reliably try things out.
