NFS problem with FC10

[haleh]

Hello,
I have had fedora 10 for years and for an unknown reason, it can't be launched anymore.

I have it on a dual mode boot. After choosing fedora after booting, fedora seems to be launched. Then, I have a screen with a list of users who want to long in. On this page, by clicking on hazard logo (exclamation point in a triangle, like the icon that I used for my current message) on right bottom of the screen, I can see that every thing is OK, except NFS (failed) as well as internet (wired and wireless). I use wireless.

Otherwise, if I want to log in, I can enter my user name and password but will get a blank or dark (couldn't remember) screen. Since the log-in page, there is a rotating oval stuff turning around the mouse arrow on the screen and this can continue forever.

Note that on the dual boot, I have windows that I experience no problem (including internet).

Why did I get problem with NFS and internet?

Thanks for your help as soon as possible,

Haleh

FC10 has been end of life for years. However, from memory, I believe that by default the nfs service usually has an error starting. That should not prevent your login. If the internet is failing that might be the issue. I suggest you try it with with a wired connection and see if you can log in that way or not.

Please don't double post. I answered you in the other thread.

Moved to EOL (End Of Life) Versions.

Thanks Glenzo for your quick reply.

Unfortunately, connecting to internet with a wired connection didn't help. Here is what I got in booting message (on clicking on hazard logo) in either case, connection with wired or wireless:

starting auditd failed
NFS statd failed
no kdump initial ramdisk found warning
Rebuilding /boot/initrd-2-6-27-41-170.2.117.fc10.i686.kdumping
no module ata- piix for kernel 2.6.27.41-170-2-117-fc10.i686 aborting
starting Im_sensors not configured run sensors detect
starting iexec service starting Avahi done failed

then, the rest is the same for login

Your help is very much appreciated

After you log in to the "blank or dark screen" can you CTRL/ALT/F2 to a VT?

[haleh]

No. First, I checked and I get dark screen and not blank. I get a box at the top left corner
Tips
click on left-click to connect/disconnect to input method
click on righ-click to show the input method

and by doing either, clicking on the left or right-click (assuming that was referred to the mouse buttons), nothing happens.

by doing CTRL/ALT/F2, I just get a blinking space (dash) for ever and I have to boot to get rid of the situation. But by pressing ctrl/alt/backspace, I go back to the login page and the rest is the same

If you are unwilling to upgrade to Fedora 16 why not try Fuduntu (described as a serious distribution) which is a fork of Fedora 14?
