sudo bash
cd /

The system will then ask you for your password.

Then we will enter the directory:

cd share

Create a file, in this case I used vim to add the line “This is a test file” to a file called test.txt.

vim test.txt

To make this appear on every users desktop, you need to create a symlink…

During the upgrade to PuppetDB 2.0, PuppetDB failed to start. The location of the config file for the logging-config changed.

logging-config = /etc/puppetdb/logback.xml
