nfs-kernel-server 1:1.0.7-3ubuntu1 is buggy with gnome

[michael ansey]

Here the bug:

If you go on a folder right mouse click share, a window pops up
and ask for SMB or NFS share. If you choose NFS share it will
install three files. After this sharing from gome is impossible
"sharing folder" hangs and "shared folders", too

Workaround is the uninstalling nfs-kernel-server 1:1.0.7-3ubuntu1 <-- this is
the bastard
and installing user server 2.2beta47-20.

but ... one problem is left even if you uninstall all nfs support sharing
nfs will be offered by right click share a folder (there is no test if nfs
installed anymore)

Hope this will help.

May be you know it but i search this in the german forums for nearly two weeks :-(((

Best Regards

the 2 nfs implementations are just different and they were never supposed to be compatible in that sense. If gnome can't cope with one of them, either gnome needs to be fixed or Depends: directly on the one that is able to talk to.

Michael, do you have an idea, how to get this working?

[michael ansey (der-brain)]

Dear Daniel,

as discribed above you just have to uninstall the nfs-kernel-server 1:1.0.7-3ubuntu1

and install

server 2.2beta47-20

both are already in synaptic. I guess in the univers section.

So someone solved this bug but forget to tell that he did ;-)

@Fabio

What would be great if the user server 2.2beta47-20 becomes stable for the next ubuntu release.

[michael ansey (der-brain)]

@ Fabio
yes. cause this works fine. I can share nfs and samba at the same time over gnome gui without problems if i use user server 2.2beta47-20. All the problems i described are gone with this version. But i only testet it on german ubuntu5.10 16 + 32 and hoary.

Best Regards

Michael

I assume that's been fixed for a long time since packages have been upgraded.
