Hi I have a number of ubuntu servers that I want to update using ansible via AWX. my current test playbook :
--- - hosts: all tasks: - name: Test Connection ansible.builtin.ping: - name: Update Cache become: true apt: update_cache: true is not work as expected on the ubuntu servers. The servers that have the root user configured are fine. But the Ubuntu servers where the root user doesn't have a password set are failing with the following error: "Failed to lock apt for exclusive operation: Failed to lock directory /var/lib/apt/lists/: E:Could not open lock file /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (13: Permission denied)" In AWX I have configured privilege escalation to use sudo but this doesnt help. I have tried moving the become: yes statement but this did help. Doe the apt module support the sudo ? What have I missed ?
