So everything seems to be running on my install attempt. One of the last 
instructions is to log into the master and see if there are any outstanding 
request. When I run: sudo /opt/puppetlabs/bin/puppet cert list, I get no 
results.

Subject: Re: [Puppet Users] puppet agent won't start

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?

  Unfortunately I’m not sophisticated enough to use Vagrant top of which I’m 
not installing in a VM. I’m using a cluster of 3 bare metal machines running 
Ubuntu 14.4. I’ve followed every step prescribed to the letter in this link: 
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/4.2/reference/install_linux.html

  What other information can I pass along?

    I get:

    When I try again, I discover that the /opt directory has magically 
disappeared. Any ideas?


  I'd have an easier time trying to reproduce the problem if you include 
information on what platform you're running on, what version of puppet you 
installed, and any other setup steps you may have taken. Ideally, if you can 
reproduce this consistently via a shell script in a vagrant environment it'll 
be much easier to troubleshoot and you'll get faster feedback.
