Ansible Tower can't reach SCM source or remote host.

[Pranav Baitule]

Hello,

I have installed Ansible Tower on Ubuntu using Windows Subsystem for Linux. 

Starting an SCM update or running a playbook against a remote host gives me the following error - 

Can't create signalfd: Function not implemented

    Failed to make / slave: Invalid argument

How can I fix this?

WSL doesn't support every function available in the linux kernel unfortunately.  

There's a bug report open for signalfd here

If I recall Tower wants a fair bit of RAM etc so you are probably better off spinning up a dedicated VM for it.

Hope this helps,

Jon

Ah. Everything works now with a dedicated VM. Thank you.
