Timeout (12s) waiting for privilege escalation prompt: \"}\r\n\r\nRunning the same playbook under Ansible 1.9.4 I never saw this problem.  It started happening when I upgraded to Ansible 2.0 RC1.  Now we see it maybe one time out of three so I'm 90% sure it's related to Ansible 2.0.\r\n\r\nIt generally happens about 10 minutes into the play and rarely happens at the same task.  The task itself doesn't matter -- it could be in a loop, not a loop, file copy, lineinefile, etc.\r\n\r\nFailure means starting over so it would be really really nice to know what's going on.  Can I at least increase that 12 sec timeout somehow?\r\n\r\nI tried enabling SSH pipelining, thinking it would speed things up and skip over the issue, but it made no difference.  It also didn't reduce the time of the playbook either, so I don't think it's actually working.  I tried debug -vvvv and I didn't see anything obvious.  How to tell if pipelining is active?\r\n\r\n"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/ansible/ansible/issues/comments/206190078","html_url":"https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/14426#issuecomment-206190078","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/ansible/ansible/issues/14426","id":206190078,"user":{"login":"Lowess","id":1719652,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/1719652?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/Lowess","html_url":"https://github.com/Lowess","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Lowess/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Lowess/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Lowess/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Lowess/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Lowess/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Lowess/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Lowess/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Lowess/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Lowess/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-04-06T07:48:33Z","updated_at":"2016-04-06T07:48:33Z","body":"@somechris I just tried your setting and it worked! \r\n\r\nFor some reason the ```setup``` phase takes around 20 - 25 secs. That is the first time I face this kind of issue while running Ansible against AWS. I still think there is an issue somewhere because with Ansible V1 I did not need to increase that timeout value.\r\n\r\nThanks again!"}}
