Hello!
Im new to ansible, and have a problem which i just cannot solve:
I use some very simple playbooks to do simple tasks in clasroom management
on linux clients (ubuntu).
I.e. i use a playbook for shutting them down. Everything works fine except
for one single host.
Whenever I try to use a playbok on a list ho hosts wicht contain this host,
I get an error message
for the host about wrong UTF-8 encoding while ansible-playbook is
"GATHERING INFORMATION".
Regular ansible commands are working fine on the host, I can shut it down
by executing
ansible -i hosts r110-ws16 -a "shutdown -h now"
but not with
ansible-playbook -i hosts -l r110-ws16 shutdown.yml
which shuts down all other hosts just fine.
I also use a playbook which runs locally (wakeonlan from the server). When
this client is powered off,
everything is fine, the host starts up like all the other hosts.
So i figure the problem ist something that is returned from the host while
gathering information.
But I have no idea how I can debug this further, any hint would be highly
appreciated.
Thank you,
Frank

The host not working is r110-ws16
Ansible-playbook gives me this:
ansible-playbook -i hosts -l r110-ws16 shutdown.yml
PLAY [all]

to retry, use: --limit @/root/shutdown.retry

The host file looks like follows:
[raum107]
r107-ws[01:15]
[raum110]
r110-ws[01:16]
[raum114]
r114-ws01
[computerraeume:children]
raum107
raum110
[auto-onoff:children]
raum110
raum107
raum114
The playbook is this (but the problem is the same with all other playbooks,
as soon the client is powered on)
