I think the problem I''m having with not being able to run puppet for up to 90 minutes after a reboot is related to this error, which goes away some time in that time period: # puppet agent -t Info: Retrieving plugin Timed out seeking value for ipaddress Timed out seeking value for ipaddress What exactly is facter doing that doesn''t work immediately after the boot, but does start working at some point after?

Perusing https://github.com/puppetlabs/facter/blob/master/lib/facter/ipaddress.rb will show you exactly what it''s doing. If you''re using a *nix variant, facter uses ifconfig.

Hi I am running a version ''facterversion => 2.0.0-rc4'' do you know if this uses /sbin/ip? does it adapt for ArchLinux which uses puts it in /usr/sbin/ip (judgin from `which ip`) `facter ipaddress` and `facter fqdn` don''t work for me. I don''t know how to troubleshoot. I just started really reading/playing about puppet today. I also tried the latest version available from rubygems and it still can''t find the ipadress or fqdn. What could be the possible problems?

Im considering just continue working on the tutorial, hopefully this gets sorted by the time I need it. I tried merging (https://github.com/Elwell/facter.git ifconfig_refactor into a clone https://github.com/puppetlabs/facter.git master and fixed the merge conflict. I then tried installing and this need ruby knowledge and I have 0 ruby knowledge. Quick guess I did ''gem build facter.gemspec'' then ''gem install facter-1.6.11.gem'' then tried ''facter ipaddress'' and I get an error: /usr/lib/ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in `require'': cannot load such file -- facter/application (LoadError) from /usr/lib/ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in `require'' from /usr/bin/facter:69:in `<main>'' Should I just wait for the pull to be merged into the puppet branch?

I found ruby-facter-1.6.17 on AUR and `facter ipaddress` still does not work. (I have NO ruby experience) I looked at the facter.rb file and it seems to import the util/ip file and I think those use the /sbin/ip What could be the problem?
