Description juha.heljoranta 2002-10-30 16:05:50 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20021018

Description of problem:
Starting the X (gnome-panel?), Nautilus or Gedit produces error messages
'FAMOpen failed, FAMErrno=0' to console. Creating a new folder to desktop causes
also an error.

New users won't see panel (waited few mins and then Ctrl-M-Backspace'd).
However, the desktop is working but slowly.

Old users will see the panel, but it takes a long time to load.
Short-cuts (eg. M-F1) won't work until panel has appeared.

Using nautilus to navigate directories takes lots of time and produces about
five errors per directory change.

Starting X as an old user produces at least 25 errors and the final error is:
Key
/apps/panel/profiles/default/objects/0t1034612756ut935295u500p1025r1382828353k3221219628/launcher_location
is not set, can't load launcher

After this, the panel shows up and short-cuts starts to work (eg. M-F1).



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Additional info:

Error to console:
FAMOpen failed, FAMErrno=0

Nothing unusual in log files and rpm -Vva does not report anything that should
relate to this. Should you need any logs/info, just let me know :)

I've been using 8.0 since the release and it has worked fine. Until now. I have
no idea what is corrupted (if any).

Comment 1 Alexander Larsson 2002-11-05 12:20:31 UTC

Try upgrading to the latest xinetd errata and restart xinetd + portmap. I think
that should fix it.

Comment 2 juha.heljoranta 2002-11-05 15:43:34 UTC

FAM is bounded to portmap and I had filtered portmap like this:
-A RH-Lokkit-0-50-INPUT -p tcp -m tcp -s! xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx --dport 111 -j REJECT
By removing line above from my /etc/sysconfig/iptables everything works again.

I got a clue from:
https://listman.redhat.com/pipermail/limbo-list/2002-August/002378.html

And google found something like this
http://www.der-keiler.de/Mailing-Lists/securityfocus/security-basics/2002-03/1197.html

So this is known issue. I guess that this is now resolved. I will open a new bug
against rhl-sg component to get this documented.
