Issue #19989 has been reported by Todd Zullinger. ---------------------------------------- Bug #19989: virtual fact with virt-what installed produces bogus output for non-root users https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/19989
* Author: Todd Zullinger * Status: Unreviewed * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * Category: * Target version: * Keywords: * Branch: * Affected Facter version: 1.6.18 ---------------------------------------- When the virt-what program is present, facter tries to use this via Facter::Util::Virtual.virt_what. The problem is that virt-what only produces a warning to stdout for non-root users. $ facter --version; facter virtual 1.6.18 virt-what: this script must be run as root There is a long-standing bug for virt-what to work as non-root¹, but until that is resolved, facter should not rely on its output when run as non-root. ¹ https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=719611 -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
