very first thing to do is to retry with gamin-0.0.23 from rawhide or http://www.gnome.org/~veillard/gamin/downloads.html Daniel Okay, I'm not running gamin-0.0.23-1 and I still have this problem. I have rebooted after upgrading gamin (just to be sure), and I still am seeing korganizer not get notified from FAM when I touch its file. Also, something other than suspend/resume must be causing this, because I have not suspended/resumed today, yet I'm still seeing this disconnect. ack. s/not running/now running/ =:/ Also, note, that if I restart korganizer and then touch its ics file, then it is notified, but after a period of time, it stops working. yes there is a bug where gamin sometimes looses the dnotify registration for the directory of monitored resources. I'm still chasing that bug ... Daniel It sure seems like an apm suspend/resume will reliably trigger whatever it is that is going wrong. I just resumed again today when I got home from work and lost 2 appointments that I added on my palm pilot because korganizer wasn't notified that its file had changed by gamin and then subsequently overwrote my changes. Really frustrating. Is there anything I can do to help debug this? Fedora Core 3 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC5 updates or in the FC6 test release, reopen and change the version to match. Thank you! I'm not running Fedora anymore. Feel free to close it, though I don't know if the problem is actually fixed. FWIW, I don't see this problem in SUSE, so it may very well be that either SUSE is using a different FAM, or that the problem has been fixed. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Opera/8.0 (X11; Linux i686; U; en) Description of problem: /usr/libexec/gam_server stops notifying korganizer that its std.ics file has changed after I suspend and resume, using APM. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gamin-0.0.17-1.FC3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. touch ~/.kde/share/apps/korganizer/std.ics after restarting gam_server 2. observe that korganizer is informed of the change 3. suspend/resume 4. touch ~/.kde/share/apps/korganizer/std.ics 5. observe that korganizer is not informed of the change by FAM 6. killall gam_server, which causes it to restart 7. quit korganizer (or any application that uses FAM) and restart it 8. GOTO 1 Actual Results: gam_server doesn't look like it is notifying anything of filesystem changes after an apm suspend/resume Expected Results: It should have. =:) Additional info: The problem here is that when this layer breaks, I lose ALL data that I put into an application that depends on it. In this case, it is korganizer, and anything that I enter into my Palm gets lost because korganizer doesn't get notified that its ics file has changed and then it overwrites it, losing my data. For this reason, I'm marking the severity as high, because this causes loss of data.
