Fam starts on boot but fails to stop on shutdown

hussam · 2006-03-28 22:29:48

I have kdebase, kdelibs, kdeutils, kdenetwork, kdeartwork, kdepim and kdegames installed.
I'm new to arch.
I modified /etc/rc.conf to:
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng !hotplug !pcmcia netfs crond dbus hal portmap fam network alsa cups adsl clamav postfix kdm)
fam starts properly but fails to stop at shutdown or reboot. Why is that and how do I solve it?

Check /etc/fam/fam.conf and see if idle_timeout = 5. If so, change the 5 to 0 and restart fam.

ok thanks idle_timeout = 5 was commened.
I uncommented it by removing the # and changes 5 to 0 and this seems to have solved it. Thanks you.

You're welcome. Glad to help! 8)

I'm afraid to say the problem is back even if the timeout value is set to 0, after I rebooted twice today the problem happens again. Any idea why?

hi,

you have to change the order in your rc.conf to DAEMONS=( ... network ... fam ... ), so fam starts after network.

be sure to start network as soon as possible. portmap will fail too if network isn't up, same for netfs.
