Description of problem: fam fails to update contents of nautilus window. Both a xinetd restart and a reboot fail to start fam. The xinetd restart yields this messages in /var/log/messages. xinetd[25168]: pmap_set failed. service=sgi_fam program=391002 version=2 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): fam-2.6.8-10.i386.rpm How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1.update fam to most recent rawhide version (2.6.8-10) 2.fam no longer runs. 3.Nautilus windows are no longer updated. Actual results: Nautilus windows are no longer updated. Expected results: The contents of nautilus windows would be dynamically updated using fam. Additional info: I tried recompiling fam with the most recent glibc (2.3.2-48) and gcc/g++ 3.3-5, but I received the same error message. I am using xinetd-2.3.11-1.10.0.
It works for me. Could you try: service portmap restart service xinetd restart and then restart nautilus and see if it works?
If anything was ever broken it is fixed now. This bug should either be closed or closed and labelled notabug.
