Hi,

We made it work.

The workaround is to create a symlink between /usr/bin/python3 to /usr/bin/python2 and it worked.

We created an empty /usr/bin/python2. Now we will try same on the other two hosts that we need to install.

Hi,

Having issue when installing Ovirt on Oracle linux 8.1,8.2,8,3 whereby it is unable to set the interpreter for python.

It is looking for python 2 instead, Kindly find attached logs.

Some time ago, we merged this patch, which was designed to solve your case:

https://gerrit.ovirt.org/c/ovirt-engine/+/114663

Specifically:

https://gerrit.ovirt.org/c/ovirt-engine/+/114663/6/packaging/ansible-runner-service-project/project/roles/ovirt-host-deploy-facts/tasks/host-os.yml

However, this didn't work, because, as you can see in

your attached logs, 'ansible_distribution_file_variety' is

'OracleLinux', and not 'RedHat'.

Not sure whether this is due to ansible or to Oracle Linux.

I think it would have made more sense that it was 'RedHat',

as this seems to have worked well at least for AlmaLinux

(and IIRC we also got success reports about Rocky Linux).

Anyway, patches are welcome.

Best regards,

Didi
