 Posted: Mon Mar 21, 2005 9:03 am Post subject: gamin not working? |
 |
|
hi!
i recently tried to replace fam as many of you stated in this forum and on other websites..
please correct me if i'm wrong but the thing fam and gamin are supposed to do is.. for example
tell nautilus when the dir i'm in has changed somehow and tell it to refresh isn't it so?
now, i changed to gamin by unmerging fam and merging gamin. worked flawlessly BUT
when i copy a file into a dir that is opened by nautilus.. it does NOT refresh.
so what's the deal about the whole gamin-thing then?
to me it's no big deal clicking on the refresh button myself, but since famd or gamin are installed, why doesn't it work?
as you might notice i have not put much time into this one yet as i'm not goint to put too much on this as well 
thanks anyhow,
pazz |

ah i forgot:
i'm running gnome 2.10, compiled yesterday,
and it seems that fam, after i just reemerged it doesn't work either..
it might be related to gnome 2.10..

I did the same thing, and I'm not too happy either.
Gamin is app-admin/gamin/gamin-0.0.26,
Kernel is sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.11-r4 with inotify configured
I am considering going back to fam for a litle while.

I have noticed, with dnotify the refresh works.
Since I patched the kernel (2.6.11.5) with inotify, it does not work. So I think it's a problem with inotify.
I'am running gamin-0.0.26. |

same here. it's getting kind of annoying (i switched to gentoo from ubuntu-hoary and it was all working there since very early in the beta testing)
the hard-masked gamin-0.0.26-r5 is supposed to work with the newer inotify kernels (0.21 i think), but it doesn't work for me. i wish i could help somehow ...
has anyone tried using a stable gamin+stable gentoo kernel? |

I tried the inotify utils and got this when creating and deleting a file named "test" in "/home/cyril":
| Code: | # ./inotify_test /home/cyril/
/home/cyril/ WD=0
read = 16
sizeof inotify_event = 16
pevent->len = 0
EVENT ON WD=0
EVENT MASK = CLOSE 0x00000010
read = 128
sizeof inotify_event = 16
pevent->len = 16
pevent->len = 16
pevent->len = 16
pevent->len = 16
EVENT ON WD=0
EVENT MASK = CREATE_FILE 0x00000800
FILENAME=test
EVENT ON WD=0
EVENT MASK = OPEN 0x00000020
FILENAME=test
EVENT ON WD=0
EVENT MASK = CLOSE 0x00000008
FILENAME=test
EVENT ON WD=0
EVENT MASK = ATTRIB 0x00000004
FILENAME=test
read = 32
sizeof inotify_event = 16
pevent->len = 0
pevent->len = 0
EVENT ON WD=0
EVENT MASK = OPEN 0x00000020
EVENT ON WD=0
EVENT MASK = CLOSE 0x00000010
read = 32
sizeof inotify_event = 16
pevent->len = 0
pevent->len = 0
EVENT ON WD=0
EVENT MASK = OPEN 0x00000020
EVENT ON WD=0
EVENT MASK = CLOSE 0x00000010
read = 32
sizeof inotify_event = 16
pevent->len = 16
EVENT ON WD=0
EVENT MASK = DELETE_FILE 0x00000200
FILENAME=test |
It seems that inotify is working and that this bug is definitely a gamin one 
A+
EDIT:
I tried "testgam" and it failed at the second scenario
Test output:

Same problem here. Using 2.6.11.4 Vanilla Sources patched with Inotify 0.21 and gamin-0.0.26-r5 and GNOME 2.10. I hate having to hit refresh all the time, I feel like I am back using KDE...

ok, after 3 hours of messing around with it (i'm sloow), i think i figured it out and it works! yay!
i uploaded the patch and a new ebuild to:
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=86705
let me know if it works for you (i'm using 2.6.11-morph4 that has inotify-0.21) |

Try rebooting. That did it for me...

anyone having problems with gnome-volume-manager? when I insert a cd it is mounted automatically but the desktop does not update. I have to go to Computer->CD/DVD Drive then when I click it a CD icon pops up on my Desktop. It worked fine before I updated from famd->gamin 0.0.26-r6, btw nautilus works fine.
edit:
didn't read the bug report posted above clearly enough... this is a bug here are the bug reports

| either use a non inotify kernel (vanilla-sources) or you can try the patch above for gamin, or just go back to fam |

Just went back to fam. Everything seems more responsive now.
Starting famd also starts portmap. Could that have any implications in regard to gamin

No. Portmap is only used with FAM and is mainly the reason I dont use it. I have read all kinds of hate towards it and references to portmap being a secuirty whole. Gamin doesnt require portmap and is one of the reasons its a better alternative.
The new version in portage together with inotify .21 works perfectly again.
