Hi Franck,

Try using a stable branch instead of master. The master branch can be regularly broken because of changes to kolla-ansible dependencies. There was a recent Ansible breakage which may be what you experienced.

Instructions for the latest release are here: https://docs.openstack.org/kolla-ansible/2023.1/user/quickstart.html

Best regards,
Pierre Riteau (priteau)

I'm coming back to you all to help me with a new problem that I've never had before.

I want to show students how to install Openstack with Kolla-ansible. They will each have a computer (DELL Precison 3660 Tower, 32G RAM, 500G SDD).
Ubuntu is the system, version 22.04.

I want to start with an "all-in-one" installation. So I test my-self first…  I follow these procedure https://docs.openstack.org/kolla-ansible/latest/user/quickstart.html

. everything works with the parameters I choose for my configuration, until the following problem:

What can be the problem ? Where can this come from ? I think the CPU is OK for virtualization. I have no idea, I don't know where this error could come from. Do you have an idea? 

Thanks in advance
