Powersave problem with nfs-client
Last modified: 2006-02-14 12:01:28 UTC
checked this on 2 systems, i686 and x86-64 i created a nfs-client on my pc. with a running nfs-server it's all fine. without a running nfs-server i get the "The powersave daemon is not running" message on KDE startup. additionally to this, "ksensors" must be restarted to get to work and USB-hotplugging seems does not work (checked with an USB-stick).
Is the second issue a result from the failure of powersaved? If not, please open a seperate report about this. Give more information about the configuration (aka the steps you have done to provoke this). Furthermore, add 300 lines of your syslog in /var/log/messages.

yes it is a result of the powersaved failur. the systems are standard installations. i didn't any special to get this result. the nfs-client was created with yast. here nothing special too, the options are "defaults".
In that case, please attach the Yast logfiles (/var/log/YaST2) and /etc/fstab. Are you sure the problem is due to the creation of the nfs-mount? I cannot really see a connection here. What makes you so sure the failure of powerd is caused by shutting down your local NFS server (which would also have no influence on your local mounts) - are you mounting a local NFS share?
ok, i try to explain this... there are 3 pc's, connected with a hardwarerouter. 1. i686 (suse10) 2. x86_64 (suse10) 3. i586 (linVDR) linVDR and x86_64 run a nfs-server. x86_64 run a nfs-client connected to linVDR. i686 run a nfs-client connected to x86_64. if i boot the x86_64 without a running linVDR, i get the powersaved message. same if i boot the i686 without a running x86_64. with running servers there are absolutly no problems. and without running nfs-clients there are no problems too. this is, what make me sure, it has something to do with nfs. maybe it is only a symptom for another issue, i don't know. btw: the issue with the USB-stick is not the only one. this means, if i plug an USB-stick in, i got no messagewindow "USB-stick found". the same (i asserted yesterday) with cd's. if i put a disc in the drive, there's no messagewindow.

Reassigning to Thomas...
Hmmm, I expect it is this requirement in /etc/init.d/powersave: # Required-Start: $remote_fs dbus haldaemon This was already discussed some time ago on research, I really would like to get rid of the remote_fs stuff... What I expect is going on: nfsclient starts and tries to import fs shares, these cannot be imported and it hangs until timeout... During that time X and KDE already came up (shouldn't they also wait for nfs?!?) Kpowersave reports: no running powersave daemon... NFS client times out then dbus and powersave daemon are going to be started ... Maybe we should add an KDE/X guy and ask him why those services are started before..., Coolo?
