Problem with systemctl in Games of Pod (PENTO)

Kubernetes
#1

Hi,

I got some issues trying to do the Game of Pod PENTO…

I try to run the systemctl command and I got a error with dbus error:

Failed to connect to bus: No such file or director

Can you help me?

Any one else?

Any solution?

Thanks a lot :smiley:

Hello @alvarolinarescabre
I don’t think we need to do anything with systemctl for the PENTO lab. We can complete the quiz without it.

Hi - there is a real problem with the Pento lab. ‘ps aux’ shows only 4 processes and it looks like your stuck inside a container. Standard Ubuntu commands don’t work - not only systemctl. /etc/kubernetes/manifests is empty. There are a lot of things that look out of place, and not just because there is a bad setting in the kube-apiserver config. Please look at the lab https://www.katacoda.com/vpalazhi/scenarios/kubernetes-gop-challenge-fileserver-1-18 .

@Tej-Singh-Rana - are you able to assist with this issue? See the description of the problem that I wrote last week.

Thanks,

Hello @zeev.eisenberg64,
Sorry for the delayed response. I forwarded your issue to one of the team members. He will check and will update you.
AFAIK we made some restrictions and provided only necessary permissions and files which are required for the task.

Thanks for the reply. I think you tightened it down a bit too much. I look forward to hearing from the team.

Hi @zeev.eisenberg64 ,
Thank you for your patience.
These restrictions are deliberate to ensure that users won’t misuse the provided environment.
You should have sufficient permission to get around and complete the task without any issues.

But I see you mentioned that /etc/kubernetes/manifests was also empty which should not happen in any case. I tried this lab and didn’t come across such an issue. Could you please give it several seconds ( one minute is more than enough) before checking out k8s related directories as it might take a bit of time for the Kubernetes cluster to initialize.

Please let us know in case you are still facing any issues.

Hi, @Dinesh_Kodekloud ,

Thanks for checking. I don’t know what changed, but something changed. Before I commented here 3 weeks ago, I did give it time as you suggested, and it was definitely broken in a way so that you couldn’t complete the task. I just went and tried it again, and now you can run the commands necessary to complete the challenge (which I did. :slight_smile: ).

Best Regards,
Ze’ev
