Crackin’ RC! Works like a dream – and fast! Just wish the repositories could be kept up-to-date – for the first time in history?

It’s not called portmap any more I don’t think. Try rpcbind

As I guessed, neither this version of OpenSUSE will run on my Dell Desktop Vostro 360 (http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/hardware/475275-dell-vostro-360-native-monitor-resolution-not-recognized-unable-use-two-monitors.html).

The same issue is present on this RC, so I can’t see nothing in primary screen, but a flicering image sometimes. The rest of time is only a black screen.

Thanks a lot for responding

If there is better place for this discussion – please let me know

After clean install:
I added mfs mount points to /etc/fstab (they are verified to work on 11.4 and 12.1)
Attempting to mount produces:
Starting rpc.statd … portmapper not running

Going to Yast – NFS-Client – I can see added mount points OK. Confirming (adding or changing) in yast produces error message saying Cannot start service.

There is no portmap to start in /etc/init.d (perhaps systemd change) exploring systemctl does not locate portmap service either. Trying to locate portmap in network services or xinit as well as Software manager fails.

So – how did you start portmap? Or whatever other service you needed to start for successful nfs mount?

Thanks again, Tom

We have a working NFS on 12.2 beta 1 without any extra tricks.
Just configured NFS client from yast.
So there must be someting wrong with your particular setup.

My apology for asking here – not sure where to turn

Could anybody advice me how to get nfs-client working please?
I’m trying to mount nfs disk and getting this:
Starting rpc.statd … portmapper not running

Been with SuSE since 6.2 and feel so frustrated and hopeless like never.
There is no way to start missing service in /etc/init.d … no documentation on what is SuSE story on this systemd …

Could anybody point me in the right direction please?

Thanks a million, Tom
