Public bug reported: Using Kubuntu 9.10 (Karmic), an upgrade from Jaunty. After the upgrade, I'm getting a number of weird networking problems (though basic webbrowsing & email work fine): 1. I can't mount an NFS partition, one that has worked on this laptop with every previous version of Kubuntu, and one that still works on other computers. If I do $ sudo mount /usr/lab I get mount.nfs: rpc.statd is not running but is required for remote locking. mount.nfs: Either use '-o nolock' to keep locks local, or start statd.
So then I do this: $ sudo start statd and get this: statd start/running, process 18709 Then this happens again: $ sudo mount /usr/lab mount.nfs: rpc.statd is not running but is required for remote locking. mount.nfs: Either use '-o nolock' to keep locks local, or start statd.: but $ sudo start statd start: Job is already running: statd so then I do this: $ rpcinfo -p and it hangs for something pretty close to 3 minutes and then says this: rpcinfo: can't contact portmapper: RPC: Remote system error - Connection timed out See also this: $ ps ax | grep port 18017 ? Ss 0:00 portmap 18878 pts/27 R+ 0:00 grep port 2. Whenever I try to print something from okular, the window freezes for about 3 minutes and then the print dialog comes up. The printers I want (network printers) are not shown in the list. 3. My department uses Retrospect (commercial closed-source software) for backups, and I haven't been backed up since I upgraded. The problem, again, is that when I try to start the backup client it hangs for about 3 minutes but then fails to come up. So it smells like some pervasive networking problem. But I don't really know where to start. I'd be happy to provide more information, if I knew what to provide. Thanks very much in advance for your help! ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- rpcinfo can't contact portmapper https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/507546 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
