It isn't clear to me from the above what system is the Client and
what system is the
Server and on which system you're getting the error message.
Sorry, I intended the subject to make that clear, the client is
CentOS-5 the server FC16. The message appears on the CentOS5 client.
The same server and data works on clients running FC9, FC10, FC13,
RHEL-6, and I believe (ie. I'm told but haven't personally tested)
OpenBSD works as well.
This is the only machine which stopped working when the NFS server was
updated, and of course it's the internal web server. :-(
I had lot of problems with NFSv4 and CentOS 5.8, you should check that
you have latest kernel on 5.8 as that solved some mounting problems. As
for the error messages telling rpc.idmapd not running you can safely
ignore. The error comes from the mount.nfs4 trying to read file in var
which is not in there.
If you run strace mount.nfs4 server:/ /dir you will see that the command
tries to access /var/lock/subsys/rpcidmapd
access("/var/lock/subsys/rpcidmapd", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or
directory)
This doesn't work as the file is actually named /var/lock/subsys/rpc.idmapd
As how you get rid of the error before RedHat fixes the actual source
(just make the soft link between rpcidmapd and rpc.idmapd)
Now to the real error, I had the mounting problems from CentOS 5.8 to
CentOS 5.8 with CLIENT running with kernel 2.6.18-308.1.1.el5 mounting
didn't work. As I had the older kernel around as this was upgrade from
older 5.x release I tried with it and the things worked without a
problem. RedHat fixed the problem for me atleast in kernel
2.6.18-308.4.1.el5.
Hope this helps,

Now I have the clean xfce desktop. I found out that if I subsequently login and select classic gnome, log out, and log back in and select xfce, I will end up with 2sets of panels. This SHOULD NEVER happen - else, why provide multiple desktop choices at login, if they will end up getting mixed together.

Weird behavior of Desktop Env
On FC16, with all latest updates. My session is XFCE4. Until a couple of days ago, XFCE was working just fine. Suddenly, without any provocation from me, (nor new packages installed, no packages deleted) - I am getting 2 different sets of panels. One set of panels is that of Gnome - on top is the launch bar, and on bottom is the task switcher bar. I also have the xfce4 panels, which are on right (launch bar) and on left, task switcher bar. How can I stop this insanity? I am starting to get very paranoid about F16 that it may have been shipped fully equipped with a trojan. This, in addition to what I have been seeking help for - no audio for media players. Only Firefox can play online YT videos and audio works then. I am indeed on the verge of completely dumping FC16.

It isn't ssh you want to care about, it is remoteness. And of course
QT_GRAPHICSSYSTEM should never be mangled if it is already initialised;
that way lies "magic" behaviour. (Of course, this is RedHat we're
talking about, who still believe that having $PS1 set is a meaningful
indicator of stuff; had to mangle my nice clean login procedures, many
years old, when I finally bothered tracking down that misdecision.)

Those messages refer to the LADSPA sink for pulseaudio. This is the "Linux Audio DSP Architecture", a framework for chainable audio effects plugins (similar to Steinberg VST in some ways). Do you use any LADSPA plugins or effects on this system? Pulse is attempting to load a graph with a LADSPA multiband equalizer configuration defined: sink_name=ladspa_output.mbeq_1197.mbeq master=alsa_output.pci-_00_02.7.analog-surround-51 plugin=mbeq_1197 label=mbeq control=-11.6,-5.4,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0" The master sink it references doesn't appear to exist so it fails the module load and gives up. If you have configured any kind of EQ on the system then you might want to try unconfiguring it.

What type of HW do you have? Do you have a bluetooth adapter of sorts? Can you disable it? If you don't have any bluetooth devices, you can try yum erase pulseaudio-module-bluetooth It will also remove other bluetooth stuff which you wouldn't need. -- Never be afraid to laugh at yourself, after all, you could be missing out on the joke of the century. -- Dame Edna Everage -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

How can a program possibly access the file system without being mediated by the system?

Yes, hypothetically you could rewrite the kernel to support a different set of abstractions (not as simple as adding a new file system since you have to deal with the VFS layer which covers all of them). Then rewrite the application programs so they understand the new abstractions, i.e. a new API. It's not clear that what you would end up with could still be called Linux, and better make the new API an extension of the old one or you won't get any users, but sure. > i.e. The ability to set more reasonable timeout periods (seconds, not > minutes or hours). The overwhelming majority of programs don't deal in timeouts of any length. Programmers prefer a simple file access abstraction: if I can open the file, I can access it until I close it. It's worth noting that the clean file model (no "access methods", no "fixed versus variable length record structure", no "character versus binary" files, no "end of file mark", etc.) was an important reason for the original success of Unix, without which we wouldn't even be here. > And for the system to report access success or > failure to whatever wanted to access the drives, and that accessing > program would have to accept failure (this part being a problem that has > to be implemented in each application - though they should already have > failure handling built in, unless programmed by a fool). Most of the commonly used programs deal with simple failures such as non-existent or protected files, out of disk space etc. Few if any are written to deal with the file suddenly disappearing in the middle of the access. > That'd prevent the infinite waits for a non-available file system, and > deal with programs thinking they're writing files when they're really > dumping data nowhere. How do you know they're infinite? The answer is that you don't, you're just guessing (see the recent "down vs disconnected" discussion). In practice, "infinite" means "until the user's patience runs out". One user's "infinite" wait is another user's slow system. The low level network ops are already timing out and retrying and at some point they may work, but there's no way to know. I strongly recommend Jerry Saltzer's classic paper "End to End Arguments in System Design" (http://web.mit.edu/Saltzer/www/publications/endtoend/endtoend.pdf). In some circumstances, the lower levels *cannot* resolve every problem. No matter how cleverly you design it, there will always be cases when the abstraction of a reliable network breaks down and you have to deal with messy reality at the only level where it's possible to make an intelligent decision. The use of NFS soft mounts is an example where the user can intervene and deal with the consequences, but D state hangs are not confined to network file systems. poc -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

You've got [FedoraBox]-[VPNhw]- // --[VPNhw][Otherbox] and you are doing a cp across them with a VPN in place. Given cp isn't network aware I assume you have a network file system mount of some kind between the two boxes ? If so you want to mount the NFS mount with the "soft" option, which tells it that failing and timing out is ok. More efficient in general might be to use rsync and scp instead, but that depends on the application. Certainly for local/remote synching and backup rsync/scp is more efficient.

Already supported and has been for years via the soft option to NFS mounts. The designers of NFS figured that before Linux even existed. We also have umount -f. killall -9 problem process umount -f the NFS partition may need repeating a few times but will do the job. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

I doubt Qt can safely switch graphics systems midway through
application execution. The only way it could do anything about it is
if it could detect whether it's being run remotely at startup, which I
don't think is possible either.
Fedora's Qt/KDE guys might be convinced to stick `[[ -n
"${SSH_CONNECTION}" ]] && export QT_GRAPHICSSYSTEM=native` in
/etc/profile.d, though. (Unless there's a nicer way to change the
environment of only SSH logins.)

Ok, so I have a work-around, but the default behavior is unacceptable, there should be some kind of fallback to native when on a remote display, maybe by automatically measuring the speed of bitmap transfers.
