Yocto version: /poky$ git status

On branch kirkstone
Your branch is up to date with 'origin/kirkstone'.

I just followed steps from the Yocto Quick build (https://docs.yoctoproject.org/brief-yoctoprojectqs/index.html)

About using a Yocto compatible distro, here are the details:

Operating System: Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS               ( derived from Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, so I assumed would be compatible with Yocto, but is it possible I'm wrong?)
Kernel: Linux 5.18.10-76051810-generic

I'll repeat this in Ubuntu 22.04 docker container and let you know how it goes.

Hi,

please provide more details like the messages printed by bitbake at the top of the log showing your Host distro.

Whis Yocto version are you using?

Did you properly install the required packages?

Are you using a Yocto compatible distro ?
