Hello, and thanks for reporting an issue with puppet.

You do not need a manifest in order to check if facts propagate from
master to nodes. Factsync takes place before the manifest is compiled.

1: Set pluginsync=true in /etc/puppet/puppet.conf on the node

2: Run "puppet agent --test --noop" on the node

3: If you have authenticated the node to the master, you should see the
   fact being transmitted.

4: Verify by:

   run "facter --puppet" on the node. Do you see your fact?

   check /var/lib/puppet/yaml/facts/<node>.yaml on the master, do you
   see the new fact there?

What is your puppet version, your facter version, and your ubuntu
version?

I don't think this is the correct fix. This will not have any effect if
you run "puppet agent --test" on the command line.
