I have 3 Kubuntu/Linux PCs running on my LAN. PC1 is my primary
PC that I do most of my work on. It runs the 'feisty' release
of kubuntu, which I believe is release 7.04. PC2 is on
the network mostly so I can use the disk space for backups.
It also runs the 'feisty' release. PC3 is a new PC on
which I plan to do a special project. From PC3 I would like
to mount files systems from PC1 so I have access to information
on my primary PC. PC3 runs the 'gutsy' release of Kubuntu
which is release 7.10.

NFS is working fine when I mount the filesystem on PC2 on to
PC1. However, when I try to mount the filesystem on PC2 on to
PC3, or when I try to mount a filesystem from PC1 on PC3,
I get the following error.

> mount -t nfs 192.168.2.100:/media/hdc2 /mnt/hdc2

> missing codepage or helper program, or other error
> In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
> dmesg | tail or so

Can anyone guide me on how to handle this error message?

When I run 'dmesg | tail -20', I get the following results.

I don't think the dmesg is meaningful, because if I run the
mount command again, the output from dmesg does not change
at all.

Nevermind! I found the solution. I installed the nfs-common
package on PC3 and I was then able to mount using nfs.
I'm sorry I did not try that before posting.

Bewilderment, plea for help, inspiration, installation, success.
All this in 15 minutes. Another small step for Linuxkind.
We knew you could do it!
