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 :) related bug: 76153 and http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=83368 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).
Try upgrading to the latest xinetd errata and restart xinetd + portmap. I think that should fix it.
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.
