How did you upgrade your kernel? First things first, check your setup for anything obvious. I don't know much about KDE but I've seen problems like this with gnome when the machine's networking is not setup correctly. Check your /etc/hosts and hostname to ensure they are correct (not that upgrading your kernel should affect them). Do a diff between your configs to check nothing untoward has changed.

If that doesn't show anything interesting you will need to try and isolate the cause of the problem. Login as a local user on the console. Do a ypcat passwd and confirm that the command completes quickly and the user information is correct. If so then your network and NIS are fine. Next do an ls -l ~user with your NIS user name. If that completes quickly and shows your home directory then NFS is fine. If that all works fine then we are back to KDE. Next step I would suggest is strace'ing it to see what it is delaying on.

all the procedures about nfs/nis worked fine. i'll try strace with kde. On 6/4/07, Duane Griffin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Thiago, On 02/06/07, Thiago Lüttig [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi folks.

Re: [gentoo-user] Problems with kde and NIS/NFS users
When I start kde, i enter a dmesg command and the last output was this: statd: server localhost not responding, timed out something about the nfs server ?

I don't think so. Would you please post the content of /etc/hosts and the output of ifconfig as well as route -n?

Re: [gentoo-user] Problems with kde and NIS/NFS users
Folks, i've tried install nfs-utils on my client boxes, and guess what !??! it worked !!!. I guess the rpc.statd is started when I start the nfs service on my client box. Anyway, i think my problem is solved(by now :) ) Thax all of you for the time and help.

[gentoo-user] Problems with kde and NIS/NFS users
Hi folks. I have an gentoo-desktop box, with kde-3.5.5 running under 2.6.18kernel. Last week, I upgraded the kernel to the 2.6.20 version, and the kde takes a whole eternity to start, and another to run any program. I use nis(ypbind) and nfs(the home folders) to log on my network. The console show no error or warning messages after the startx program, only the Starting KDE The xorg.log doesn't show nothing about Drivers error or something about the hardware. I downgraded the kernel versions until reach back my 2.6.18-r2 kernel, and it worked. So, any kernel above 2.6.18, seems to crash my kde. I tried to add an local user to my box and when I start the KDE logged as local user, everything works fine :(. I get another box, the same model, hardware, etc... and installed a fresh gentoo, with kde, and my nis/nfs mappings. Guess what ? KDE doesn' wok !!! :O. And, just to confirm, an local user on the fresh gentoo, starts kde normally. What could be happening. My NIS/NFS server is a gentoo 2.6.10-hardened-r3 with nfs-utils 1.0.6-r6. Any help is welcome !! :) Thanx -- __ Atenciosamente, Thiago Lüttig MSN: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ: 194392373 __
