Hi all,
Not sure if this is the right place to post issues with the AWS AMIs,
please let me know if it should be elsewhere.
I ran into a problem with the official Debian AMIs missing 'dbus' -
trying to set the hostname with 'hostnamectl', the command fails as
below. A quick apt-get update and install of dbus lets hostnamectl
behave as expected.
root@ip-10-200-10-94:~# hostnamectl
Failed to create bus connection: No such file or directory
I ran into this error as it blocked my Ansible setup (v2.2), as the
standard hostname module sets names via hostnamectl. I've tested and
confirmed this with a fresh install of ami-b14ba7a7 in us-east-1 (the
Debian 8.7 image in us-east-1).
Is there a reason why dbus is not part of the AMIs? I must admit, I'm
not very familiar with it myself.
Thanks,
Paul
