[Discuss] Strange behaviour in recent new install of Ubuntu 15.10

[Murray Strome]

Most of the problems seem to have cured themselves: "Find" in Konqueror 
now works (though a bit differently) and the problem with the display in 
switching from one workspace to another has gone away.  However, I still 
cannot mount my FreeNAS LINUX share (nfs file type). After a lengthy 
wait, I get the message:

mount.nfs: Connection timed out

How can I find out what is happening, why and how to correct it?
