Issue #16137 has been updated by Andrew Parker. Status changed from Unreviewed to Accepted Target version set to 3.0.0
This looks to be related to, but a slightly different symptom of #15185. I'm guessing that Ubuntu removes `$HOME` when starting a service. I haven't checked this, though. ---------------------------------------- Bug #16137: Cannot start Puppet service on Ubuntu https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/16137#change-69925 Author: Justin Downing Status: Accepted Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: Target version: 3.0.0 Affected Puppet version: 3.0.0-rc4 Keywords: Branch: I bootstrapped a new server on EC2 today with 3.0rc4 from Puppetlabs apt repo.
