Hi guys,

I'm having problems running openafs-client on my desktop. I installed it us=
ing "sudo apt-get install openafs-client", and when I try "sudo service ope=
nafs-client start" it just shows:

Starting AFS services:.

and waits indefinitely. The strange thing is, I was able to install and run=
 openafs-client following exactly the same steps above on my macbook with e=
xactly the same ubuntu version (64-bit 10.04), same linux kernel (2.6.32-25=
-generic).=20

It doesn't seem to be a connection problem either: I used the same wired co=
nnection for either one, and when I unplug it from the macbook and try to r=
un openafs-client, it gives an error message of "No existing IP interfaces.=
..". When I unplug from the desktop system, there's no such error message, =
it only shows the same "Starting AFS services:.". And when using my macbook=
 I can get full AFS functionality with my college server.

Also, I have tried installing openafs-client in other ways that involved bu=
ilding some modules, such as (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=3D12=
79096) and (http://bobcares.com/blog/?p=3D501) =A0 Before each new attempt =
I would completely remove any traces of open-afs using complete removal in =
synaptic and manual deletion of openafs files in the terminal.

Finally,=20
sudo service openafs-client force-start ("Starting AFS services:.")
sudo service openafs-client force-reload ("Stopping AFS services:afsd: Shut=
ting down all afs processes and afs state")
sudo service openafs-client stop ("Stopping AFS services:afsd: Shutting dow=
n all afs processes and afs state")

all stall at the given message shown in brackets. The inability to stop ope=
nafs has also caused my ubuntu to be unable to restart or shutdown, stallin=
g at that message.=20

Is there any way for me to see a more detailed log of errors when I try to =
startup openafs-client? Any help is appreciated.
