Works fine here with 0.8.0-r3 and gamin-0.1.8. drac@unique ~ $ zgrep -i notify /proc/config.gz CONFIG_INOTIFY=y CONFIG_INOTIFY_USER=y CONFIG_DNOTIFY=y 16443 ? S 0:00 /usr/libexec/gam_server Same here. $ zgrep -i notify /proc/config.gz # CONFIG_I2O_LCT_NOTIFY_ON_CHANGES is not set CONFIG_INOTIFY=y CONFIG_INOTIFY_USER=y CONFIG_DNOTIFY=y The bug appeared when I recompiled everything from scratch when I passed from my old AthlonXP to my new Athlon64, so there's the possibility that it's an amd64 specific bug. To maximize the possibilities to reproduce it, i'd suggest to build an amd64 system from scratch. uh-oh wait... thunar is open, yet gam_server is NOT running. $ ps -e | grep gam_server (no results) to make it start gam_server, I have to 1)go to Options->Advanced->Enable volume manager 2)go to the volume manager preferences However, even with gam_server running, thunar still doesn't detect file modifications. Even if I leave volume manager on, gam_server will not be restarted next time thunar is restarted. I suggest you create a new user and try from there. Also remember to save your session. I can't get it to state where it doesn't start.. (In reply to comment #3) > To maximize the possibilities to reproduce it, i'd suggest to build an amd64 > system from scratch. Sure if you buy me one. ;) the user i'm using is created from scratch already. I'm not saving the session (I don't want it to remember what applications were open), nor I see any reason it should change anything... Dear amd64 arch testers and developers, could you try and reproduce this? I've been trying, and asked over dozen users to try this by now and I've been only getting responses WORKSFORME. So.. is this a real problem, or one single case in one users amd64 system? Upgrading thunar-volman from 0.1.2 to 0.1.3_pre20070523 fixed the problem. Volume management is still disabled. uh-oh last famous words. it randomly worked ONLY ONCE. next time I started thunar, the problem was there again. FYI, thunar-volman and volume management has nothing to do with thunar working with gamin. It all works for me here on my AMD64. Only difference is that I'm running gentoo-sources 2.6.18-r4. Same versions of thunar, gamin, etc. I even ran the test within gnome. Soon as I type "touch foo", file "foo" magically appears in thunar without needing to refresh the view. RESO WORKSFORME. Marking as so. (psst. I suggest if you plan to run 2.6.21 you also use ~amd64 linux-headers and build your glibc against it for inotify stuff. It's a wild guess but can't really offer you anything more at this stage.) |
