Hi guys, I'm having problems running openafs-client on my desktop. I installed it using "sudo apt-get install openafs-client", and when I try "sudo service openafs-client start" it just shows:
Starting AFS services:. and waits indefinitely. The strange thing is, I was able to install and run openafs-client following exactly the same steps above on my macbook with exactly the same ubuntu version (64-bit 10.04), same linux kernel (2.6.32-25-generic). It doesn't seem to be a connection problem either: I used the same wired connection for either one, and when I unplug it from the macbook and try to run openafs-client, it gives an error message of "No existing IP interfaces...". When I unplug from the desktop system, there's no such error message, it only shows the same "Starting AFS services:.". And when using my macbook I can get full AFS functionality with my college server. Also, I have tried installing openafs-client in other ways that involved building some modules, such as (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1279096) and (http://bobcares.com/blog/?p=501) Before each new attempt I would completely remove any traces of open-afs using complete removal in synaptic and manual deletion of openafs files in the terminal. Finally, sudo service openafs-client force-start ("Starting AFS services:.") sudo service openafs-client force-reload ("Stopping AFS services:afsd: Shutting down all afs processes and afs state") sudo service openafs-client stop ("Stopping AFS services:afsd: Shutting down all afs processes and afs state") all stall at the given message shown in brackets. The inability to stop openafs has also caused my ubuntu to be unable to restart or shutdown, stalling at that message. Is there any way for me to see a more detailed log of errors when I try to startup openafs-client? Any help is appreciated. -Edmund
