[BrownDirt]

Same warning here, been trying for a couple days now. all I found was a couple IP addresses one active one not in /etc/hosts, portmapper is used by NFS. other than that no harm commeth. does anyone else have progressive issues with this error

Why do I get "portmapper is not responding" errors?


"portmapper is not responding" usually means that there is an incorrect extra ip address in /etc/hosts for this machine. Remove the incorrect address( this usually happens when you change the tcp/ip address). Here's an example of what such a /etc/hosts file would look like:

# @(#)hosts,v 6.1 1993/08/21 02:17:48 stevea Exp - STREAMware
TCP/IP source
# SCCS IDENTIFICATION
127.0.0.1 localhost
10.1.36.8 scobox scobox.fredness.com
10.1.36.7 scobox scobox.fredness.com


The machine's IP address has been changed, but the old entry is still present. Remove it. This could also be caused by not having any entry in /etc/hosts, or by having an entry that is different than what ifconfig shows. An unconfigured network can cause this too, so a dhcp failure could do it (though of course then no networking would be working at all).

The portmapper is used by NFS, so you could also disable NFS startup by commenting it out of the startup files in /etc/rc2.d. If you need nfs, and everything else looks right, try "nfs stop;nfs start"

I'm not sure, I got same prob here, but my network working fine :)

[BOStaurus]

i have this problem too.
i lose my connection (wireless), and asks for password again, again, again.
looking for solutions, i found that could be a problem in /etc/hosts.
my dhcp in router was configured to 192.168.1.1 and the ip in /etc/hosts was 127.0.0.1, so i changed my dhcp configuration to 192.168.0.1 and the connection now is more stable.
but sometimes asks to password.
one doubt, my /etc/hosts file is like this:

127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 bostaurus

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters

i have the same ip for localhost and my hostname, is it a problem?
i have to delete one of them?

You can have multiple entries, but i recommend to put it in one line:

127.0.0.1 localhost bostaurus

[BOStaurus]

schwermie, i tried put in one line, no problem.
But portmapper still not running during boot. Sure, portmap isn't installed. When try to install, appears this message:

apt-get install portmap
...
Note, a seleccionar 'rpcbind' em vez de 'portmap'
rpcbind já é a versão mais nova.

Is it a bug or an error?
Portmap will never run because can not be installed.

[blackMORE]

anyone reported a bug yet?

Hi ,
Im using Kali amd64 ,'( when i boot kali
it shows me this " not starting portmapper is not running ... (warning) "
how can i fix it
thanks :(

Hi,

For me my network functionality is good even if the portmapper is not working.
Portmapper have something to do with NFS.
But for me I don't use NFS functionality right now so I will disable the auto startup of NFS.

The steps I have taken are these:
1. I try to view if I have NFS service running at startup.

service --status-all
2. In my Kali Linux I see this service.

[-]nfs-common
3. After I see the service, I issue this command to remove the service every startup.

update-rc.d -f nfs-common remove
4. Then reboot.

After all this steps, I see my starup infos not containing any portmapper status issue.

Hope it helps. Thanks.

:D

sudo update-rc.d rpcbind enable && update-rc.d nfs-common enable

[CERBERUS]

Everyone give this a try since this worked for me


update-rc.d rpcbind defaults
update-rc.d rpcbind enable

[DeadCode]

Everyone try this -

# sudo update-rc.d rpcbind enable && update-rc.d nfs-common enable

and then restart.

Hope this will fix the problem.
