Hello, everyone. I cannot understand why this doesn’t work. I am getting error message

Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 500 on SERVER: Server Error: no parameter named 'enable_only'

. I found some articles that

enable_only

works in puppet > 5. We are running puppet 6. Thank you.

package {

'nvidia-driver-470':

ensure      => '470-dkms',

name        => 'nvidia-driver',

provider    => 'dnfmodule',

enable_only => true;

seems correct

There's a semicolon at the end of enable_only.

Is that valid/invalid?

I presume it's a beginning of the list

@runlolarun are you on an OS that supports 'dnf'?

Yes, there are additional packages

Yes, RHEL based. Version 8.

if $facts['networking']['hostname'] =~/^node50[1,2]*/ {

package {

'nvidia-driver-470':

ensure      => '470-dkms',

name        => 'nvidia-driver',

provider    => 'dnfmodule',

enable_only => true;

'nvidia-driver-NVML':

ensure  => present,

require => Package['nvidia-driver'];

'cudatoolkit114-devel':

ensure => present;

}

} else {

package {

'cudatoolkit117-devel':

ensure => present;

}

}

I got the same error on puppet agent v6.0.0-1 but NOT on puppet agent v7.

I have to point that it should require Package['nvidia-driver-470'], that's what you have in the catalog

My friend that works at Apple still uses a defined type and pumps the password into an exec that just runs /usr/bin/dscl . -passwd /Users/username

Okay, thank you. But it shouldn’t be related to my error message, right?

puppet-agent-6.15.0-1.el7.x86_64.rpm didn't have the issue, either.

So somewhere between puppet-agent-6.0.0-1.el7.x86_64.rpm and puppet-agent-6.15.0-1.el7.x86_64.rpm it's fixed on RHEL7. Perhaps the same would apply for RHEL8.

@vchepkov I have nvidia-driver declared somewhere else as well.

ah, ok

my puppet server is 6.9, agent is 6.23.

I haven’t tested this on RHEL7 as there was no need. I guess a workaround is to run

exec

to disable the default module..?

what is the puppet agent on the server?

6.14

and for the heck of it,

/opt/puppetlabs/puppet/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/puppet/provider/package/dnfmodule.rb

is there?

$ ls -la /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/puppet/provider/package/dnfmodule.rb

-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 2951 Mar  7  2020 /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/puppet/provider/package/dnfmodule.rb

It works without

enable_only

.

maybe enable_only was added later

check into that file?

enable_only is not in that file.

most likely you need to upgrade

or you can create some fake module and put there dnfmodule.rb from a modern puppet

I am not sure if it's a available as a standalone module
