PCLOS 2007 nfs problem[SOLVED]

[8086]

I am using PCLOS 2007, now I want to configure the nfs share directory, but I found "nfs-utils not found".
So I open the Synaptic, but there are no nfs- related item in the list.
How can I add nfs-utils item to the list so I can download it.

Welcome to the PCLinuxOS forums. We're glad you're here.

If you have 2007 updated all the way through the 2009 updates, I should be able to help you. If you are using a recent install of 2007, it is very old in Linux time. Most users have newly installed one of the 2010 releases.

If your 2007 is fully updated, then you need to reload Synaptic. I can confirm the nfs-utils exist and is still in the 2009 repos. If you are tried to get up to date now, it will not work. Many changes have occurred.

If you need help getting a new version, or if you just mistyped, write back and someone will help you get going with PCLinuxOS 2010 and nfs.

My sympathies are with you.Pclos 2007 was a fantastic distro.If there was a Noble Prize for distros it would have won.Unfortunately there is no legacy repository for its packages anymore.Try installing it from this link:
http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/11756024/dir/pclinuxos/com/nfs-utils-clients-1.1.2-1pclos2007.i586.rpm.html

Thanks.

Now I am using another version "PCLinuxOS 2009.2". I don't want to use version 2010 because it's slow and my PC hardware configuration is not vary high.
I meet another problem. When I install a arm-linux toolchain and run command "source /etc/profile", I found a problem: bash: TMOUT: readonly variable.

I don't know where the "TMOUT" is defined. When I was using PCLinuxOS 2007, I also met this problem but I found "TMOUT" defined in /etc/sysconfig/msec and fixed it. But now I can't find this file in version "2009.2".

maybe  /etc/security/msec ?

use
locate msec   in a terminal to find other possible locations?

 Here you go-
You can find Minime 2009.1 at http://archives.pclosusers.com/isos

If you are planning on staying with the KDE3 desktop than you will want to add the following line to your /etc/apt/sources.list and make sure it is the only one selected in synaptic.

rpm http://kde3.pclosusers.com/pclosfiles/ pclinuxos/2007 main extra nonfree kde

Thanks. I can't find the TMOUT from the search result. I think the file changed. I am trying another way.

Following your instruction, I add the url then reload and install nfs-utils, nfs-utils-client in synaptic. Then I open Control Center -> Network Sharing -> Share drives and directories using NFS. I am asked to install nfs-utils. I click OK to install but then a error prompt: Mandatory package nfs-utils is missing. I reboot the system but no help. I don't know why.

You need to update the complete install before adding packages from the repository ......  you may have done this but it is not clear that you have, so am adding it here   

The 'rolling release scheme' of PCLOS requires that the install is treated as a whole and it is all updated together.

regards.

Although NFS GUI tool always reports error, but I found I edit /etc/exports directly to add NFS share directories and reboot, then NFS mount on my embeded board is OK!
So I think PCLOS 2007 NFS GUI tool has some bugs maybe.
