Hi guys,

Has anyone meet the below issue?

Copy module can not run in coreos. I got the below error message:

/bin/bash: warning: setlocale: LC\_ALL: cannot change locale (en\_US.UTF-8)  
/bin/bash: warning: setlocale: LC\_ALL: cannot change locale (en\_US.UTF-8)  
/etc/localtime is not a symlink, not updating container timezone.

errread, errwrite)  
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 1335, in \_execute\_child  
raise child\_exception  
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

But synchronize, raw modules works fine.

I’m not seeing that issue, no. Might be something about how you have your remote system setup. Here’s what I tested:

Terminal1:  
$ docker run -it --name test\_coreos ianbytchek/coreos-ansible-toolbox /bin/sh

Terminal2:  
$ ansible -i ‘test\_coreos,’ ‘\*’ -c docker -m copy -a ‘src=/etc/passwd dest=/tmp/’

I modify executor/module\_common.py. change

`

```auto
p = subprocess.Popen([%(interpreter)s, module], env=os.environ, shell=False, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE, stdin=subp
rocess.PIPE)

```

`

to

`

```auto
p = subprocess.Popen([%(interpreter)s, module], env=os.environ, shell=True, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE, stdin=subp
rocess.PIPE)

```

`

I am not sure wether it is a bug of ansible 2.1.0. But it works for me.
