[Puppet Users] Workaround for Puppet 3 not working in Fedora 18
I''m using Fedora 18 KDE in VirtualBox, fresh install this morning with
full
updates using yum.
I installed puppet by adding the puppet labs yum repo and then "sudo yum
install puppet", so now I''m running puppet version 3.1.1
Running "puppet --version" or "sudo puppet agent --test"
gave me the
following error:
*/usr/share/rubygems/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in `require'': cannot
load such file -- puppet/util/command_line (LoadError)*
* from /usr/share/rubygems/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in `require''*
* from /usr/bin/puppet:3:in `<main>''*
As far as I can tell with my limited knowledge of Ruby, Linux and Puppet,
/usr/bin/puppet has a line "require
''puppet/util/command_line''" which
executes via /usr/bin/ruby. The custom_require.rb script (part of ruby)
then looks for a file puppet/util/command_line relative to itself which it
can''t find.
Looking at an AWS Linux box where puppet is working, I can see that the
custom_require.rb file is located at
/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb, whereas on my
Fedora box the file is located at
/usr/share/rubygems/rubygems/custom_require.rb, the problem is that puppet
has installed it''s ruby files in /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8, but they
should actually be in /usr/share/rubygems.
The first fix was to add "RUBYLIB=/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8" in
/etc/environment and "export RUBYLIB=/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8" at
the
beginning of /etc/rc.d/init.d/puppet but that felt pretty dirty so now
I''ve
done this:
*sudo mv /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/* /usr/share/rubygems/
*
*sudo rm -r /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8
*
*sudo ln -s /usr/share/rubygems /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8*
If anyone has a better solution I''m all ears, ideally I''d like
to just use
yum for puppet and any of it''s dependencies, tweak the puppet.conf file
and
everything work (like it does in EC2, etc), Do I have to install another
version of ruby?? Or set an environment variable before installing puppet
so it knows where to put the files?? Maybe it''s just Fedora''s
weird ruby
install process?
Here''s a yum list just in case:

Re: [Puppet Users] Workaround for Puppet 3 not working in Fedora 18
Hi Tom, Fedora 18 is the standard environment for new nodes in my environemnt and I have never had this issue getting puppet to work. Admittedly I have two repos setup, one for fedora 17 with a low priority and one for 18 with normal priority. I was running the fedora 17 repos before they started releasing packages for 18 and still had no issues like the one you describe How did you setuo your repositories?

Re: [Puppet Users] Workaround for Puppet 3 not working in Fedora 18
I setup the Puppet Labs yum repo via "sudo rpm -ivh http://yum.puppetlabs.com/el/6/products/i386/puppetlabs-release-6-6.noarch.rpm " So far between me and a colleague we''ve tried: F18 GNOME: Seemed fine I think (but GNOME 3 didn''t play nice with VirtualBox, very very slow) F18 KDE: Initially running Puppet 2.7.X The client worked fine but the Puppet Dashboard kept throwing errors that''s what made me realise we were running 2.7 (I didn''t bother to check the yum install process as I assumed the Fedora repo would be up to date) F18 KDE: Running Puppet 3.1.1 Ruby errors above. I upgraded my colleagues machine today and ran into exactly the same problem From that I''m thinking this might be specific to the F18 KDE version, maybe ruby is setup in an odd fashion on this spin?? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

Yep that worked, I had to enable the puppetlabs-devel repo in /etc/yum.repos.d/puppetlabs.repo (instead of "yum --enablerepo=puppetlabs-devel") but it works fine now, lesson learned :) Thanks -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

It would seem that the puppet package has been removed/changed. Reinstall it again.

Re: [Puppet Users] Workaround for Puppet 3 not working in Fedora 18
Yeah they switched to systemd on fedora so the init scripts went away (finally!)

Re: [Puppet Users] Workaround for Puppet 3 not working in Fedora 18
So I get the move to systemd (whatever that is) if that''s what Fedora uses, but why rename the "service", that means I have to add a special case in my puppet module just for Fedora to set the name of the service resource to "puppetagent"? Unless it''s a change they''re going to roll out to all their supported environments in which case that makes sense (sort of)!? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
