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!
