I set the minion's name when I created the VM.
So i didnt set the name, because it was already set..
What do we need to Fix this now?Should i forget and reaccept the key? is that possible?
No, the key with the minion's name never appeared.
could i go in and edit it to give the minion name to the key?

@WrCombs said in Salt Minion Problems:
@scottalanmiller what is it gonna take to fix it?
Do I have to go into and redo it?
I think so. Don't accept any corrupt keys. Wait for a good key to be requested.
I don't know where those weird ip locals come from, but they won't work.
-
My minion is also not sending its key to the master. This is strange.

@WrCombs if all is working properly it should be its hostname.

Use the command hostname to see it. But it's a very normal name. It's the same name you type in to connect to it.

yeahh not working
"the glob" " does not match any unaccepted keys
-
@scottalanmiller when i sure hostname: i get lab-lnx-william-osticket
i use that to do the command in the first line and i get an error message

You can't try to accept a key that hasn't shown up yet. You need to look for it, first.
-
What key HAS shown up?
-
@scottalanmiller this one that i accepted
-
Why is the bad key still there?
-
@scottalanmiller the bad key i accepted? how do i unnaccept a key?
-
You've not done the first step yet, which is removing the blocking key. So that is going to keep things from working.

The directions that I sent.
sudo salt-key -d ip-65-75-137-152.localWhen you are confused by a step, don't skip it. Ask right away. Skipping steps when something is confusing or causes an error is slowing this way down. We keep thinking you've done pieces, but you are jumping around.
-
@scottalanmiller actually, i asked you what the minion name was that you wanted me to use to do the first step, and you told me to use a hostname command.
SO i have been trying to do the first step the whole time. I have jumped around one bit at all.
i asked and have been trying to do step 1. -

Sorry, thought you were asking what one to add as you had provided us the one to remove.

The command for step one gave you an error about unaccepted keys? That's not right. Something wrong with that error message as that is a command only for accepted keys.
-
It does give that error though. That's messed up. How confusing is that?
