Description of problem: MageiaUpdate refuses to run 4 of 5 times, when the home-directory is a NFS-share: "Cannot be run in console mode.", but I'm running in X11-mode. When trying to run MageiaUpdate again and again, it successfully starts after approx. 3 or 5 tries. This effect only occurs if the users home is on a NFS-share. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 5.49-1.mga3 How reproducible: absolutely Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a user having his hoe on a NFSv4 share. 2. Login in graphics mode (KDE) as this user. 3. Open a Konsole 4. call "MageiaUpdate" 5. try several times I tested this with a user having his home on the local disk: MageiaUpdate runs fine. But as soon as the users home is moved to a NFSv4 share, this problem occurs. Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce:
Please let me know what I can do to help tracking this down.
I forgot to mention a nasty side-effect: MageiaUpdate is run from mgaapplet. (This is how I found this problem.) So users are confused why they are unable to update the software.

It's not just home but anything! It affect's autofs and a hard mounts. In my case it wont mount at all. My server is also a Mageia4 Beta 2 with 2 nics a firewall and file server. It works as expected. Could it be that the firewall is not allowing the nfs thru on a singe nic system? Even when turn off.

(In reply to Robert Courtright from comment #3) > It's not just home but anything! It affect's autofs and a hard mounts. > In my case it wont mount at all. I wonder, how is your comment related to this bug? Thus bug is about a problem MageiaUpdate has. This bug is *not* about a mount problem.
They both are releated to NFS now working as it should. You have problem when your home is mounted as an NFS share. When not using NFS MageiaUpdate works without problem. Mine is all NFS shares.
On my system, NFS is working as expected. There must be another reason.
I just filed bug #12799, which is about to the current working directory being on a nfs-share with root-sqash. I thought, this might be the course for this one, but this one works somewhen.
