Fixes to Issues I encounter

Home » Network Automation

This page is purely for my own benefit detailing small fixes to issues I encounter in my daily work. I hope if you are here and discover a fix that it helps you.

VMware Workstation does not support nested virtualization on this host FIX

After the latest upgrade to Windows my VMWorkstation will no longer allow me to power on an Ubuntu 20.04 host. After Windows update 2020 may build 2004, vmvare doesnt support Virtualize intel Vt-x/EPT

To resolve this issue I disabled Virtualize CPU performance counter and Virtualise Intel VT-x/EPT or AMD-V/RVI

Within VMWorkstation edit the settings of your machine and go to Hardware / Processors Tab

Under Virtulization Engine un-check the top 2 boxes and my VM then powered on.

Command not found Ansible – after installing using Pip

I have just installed Ansible using pip on Ubuntu 20.04

pip3 install ansible 

When the install finished I ran the ansible –version command and it said command not found Ansible

If I try to re-install it says it is already installed?

My fix – to install using

sudo pip3 install ansible 

WARNING: No metadata found in ./.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages when installing Ansible

After trying to install Ansible on Ubuntu 20.04 using the command

pip3 install ansible 

I got the error WARNING: No metadata found in ./.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages
ERROR: Could not install packages due to an EnvironmentError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: ‘/home/roger/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/ansible-4.4.0.dist-info/METADATA’

My fix was to re-install using this command

pip3 install –force-reinstall <package_with_metadata_issue>

pip3 install --force-reinstall ansible
