Public bug reported: Binary package hint: facter
the can_connect function in ec2.rb always return false. I modified the code as follows and it seems to have fixed the issue: Before (Line 9 in ec2.rb): Timeout::timeout(wait_sec) {open(ip, port)} After: Timeout::timeout(wait_sec) {open("http://#{ip}:#{port}/latest/meta-data")} After that change, the module seems to work properly in EC2 instances. ** Affects: facter (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to facter in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/732953 Title: can_connect function inside ec2.rb always return false -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
