I am using nRF Connect SDK with VS Code on Ubuntu 20.04. I have installed SDK using the nRF Connect for Desktop and Toolchain Manager.

When I start VS Code I get the following error:

The Kconfig server crashed 5 times in the last 3 minutes. The server will not be restarted.

Source: nRF Kconfig (Extension)

And following output:

Fatal Python error: Py_Initialize: Unable to get the locale encoding

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'encodings'

Current thread 0x00007f568a804740 (most recent call first):

How can I fix that?

Hi,

Can "nRF Connect: Generate Support Information" (Ctrl+Shift+p) and attach the text document to this case?

Regards,

Hi,

Try to downgrade the nRF Connect Extension to 2022.7.207.

Hi,

I tried downgrading the Extension. The problem still remains.

Hi,

Do you have the folder toolchains/v2.0.0/usr/local/lib/python3.8/encoding?

Regards,

Hi,

My guess is that the Kconfig extension somehow uses the wrong version of python.
But I am not sure how yet.

I have asked our developers if they have ideas, and hope to get back to you on monday.

If you grow impatient, you could always try to uninstall nRF Connect SDK from the Toolchain Manager and reinstall the nRF Connect SDK using the manual installation method.

Regards,
Sigurd Hellesvik

I have been having this problem for a while.  Sigurd's idea about Kconfig using the wrong version of Python seems to be correct - at least in my case.  I do not have python in my $PATH, and when I went to the Kconfig Extension and looked at the settings, there was no path to python provided.

Setting the path to /usr/bin/python3 in the Kconfig Extension seems to have solved this problem for me.

Thanks, folks!

Hi Glenn,

Thanks for the solution!

Just thought I should point out that our toolchain includes its own version of python (inside toolchains/v2.0.0/).
As long as it works, using your own python version is perfectly fine.
But in case your own version does not work, for example because it does not have all required pip packages, trying to point the Kconfig Extension to the toolchain python version instead could fix things.

Sigurd Hellesvik

Sigurd,

Great - thanks for the tip!
