Ok I found the problem : The server root / had been chmoded to 700 instead of 755 as expected, so that /etc/init.d/nfs-common could not start rpc.statd :
tail /var/log/syslog was showing : rpc.statd[11542]: open (/var/lib/nfs/state): Permission denied "state" file did not exist and couldn't be created. Thanks to this post here that helped a lot : http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=43B514AC.7080400%40thinrope.net&forum_name=nfs So that's no Firefox bug. Just a strange behavior. And this report can be closed. Anyway, if you get this kind of behavior as the one described above when starting Firefox 3 over NFSv4, check that way... ;-) Bye, Frédéric. -- Firefox 3.0.3 not working when profile is over a NFSv4 share. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/289816 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
