Here are the steps I've taken to try and reproduce the issue you're describing:
vagrant init ubuntu/trusty64 vagrant ssh wget http://apt.puppetlabs.com/puppetlabs-release-pc1-trusty.deb sudo dpkg -i puppetlabs-release-pc1-trusty.deb sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install puppet-agent -y sudo /opt/puppetlabs/bin/puppet resource service puppet ensure=running enable=true When I run it, I get the following output: Notice: /Service[puppet]/ensure: ensure changed 'stopped' to 'running' service { 'puppet': ensure => 'running', enable => 'true', } I'd encourage you to try out vagrant to simplify troubleshooting -- it really is just a matter of installing virtualbox, vagrant, and running "vagrant init ubuntu/trusty64", "vagrant up" and "vagrant ssh" and you're in a VM. It'll save hours compared to reprovisioning bare metal hardware. Can you suggest any major configuration differences we might have between the plain-vanilla ubuntu 14.04 vagrant environment and what you're running?
