----- Original Message -----
| Hello all,
| I'd like to use puppet to install an Nvidia driver on a local
| workstation. I've written the following manifest for this puprpose:
| class nvidia_driver {
| # This will place the nvidia installer locally in /tmp. File is
| pulled from puppet.
| file { "/tmp/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-295.53.run" :
| source =>
| "puppet:///modules/nvidia_driver/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-295.53.run" ,
| ensure => present ,
| }
| # This will run the nvidia installer locally on the machine.
| exec { "/tmp/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-295.53.run -s -X --opengl-headers
| --no-distro-scripts --force-tls-compat32=new" : }
| }
| Upon the initial run of the manifest on the target machine,
| everything works great (although I do believe there is some room for
| improvement of the code above; particularly on the exec portion) and
| the driver then gets installed. The issue occurs on subsequent
| puppet runs on the same machine and I'm getting the following error
| during my second puppet run from the client:
| err:
| /Stage[main]/Nvidia_driver/Exec[/tmp/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-295.53.run
| -s -X --opengl-headers --no-distro-scripts
| --force-tls-compat32=new]/returns: change from notrun to 0 failed:
| /tmp/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-295.53.run -s -X --opengl-headers
| --no-distro-scripts --force-tls-compat32=new returned 1 instead of
| one of [0] at /etc/puppet/modules/nvidia_driver/manifests/init.pp:12
| It appears to me that the above error is occurring because the
| nvidia_driver class is running on each subsequent run and since the
| driver is already installed, I'm getting an exit status of 1 instead
| of 0, which to my knowledge would be expected.
| So, what I'd like to do is put some sort of condition that will look
| to see if the driver is installed and if it is, the class
| "nvidia_driver" won't run. I'm having a hard time figuring this one
| out and I was hoping to get a few opinions on how this might be
| accomplished.
| Would this potentially be a job for a shell script that does the
| checking? Maybe just adding the shell script into the
| "nvidia_driver" manifest?
| Thanks in advance for everybody's assistance and the help is very
| much appreciated.
| Cheers,
| Mike
