Description Michael Cronenworth 2006-11-29 20:57:56 UTC

Description of problem: Auto-refresh with gamin doesn't work unless you rebuild
the Thunar package.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.5.0rc2


How reproducible: Everytime


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Thunar, open Terminal
2. $ touch test
3. No "test" file is shown in Thunar
  
Actual results: No "test" file is shown in Thunar

Expected results: "test" file should appear in Thunar


Additional info: After rebuilding the Thunar package I was immediately able to
see the "test" file when I touched it. I can also see other file operations
happen immediately.

Sounds like something didn't get built right with gamin somehow?

Comment 1 Kevin Fenzi 2006-11-29 21:44:31 UTC

Odd. It works fine for me here... Thunar was built with gamin support: 
...
checking for gamin >= 0.1.0... 0.1.7
checking LIBFAM_CFLAGS... -I/usr/include/fam  
checking LIBFAM_LIBS... -lgamin-1  
...

What is the output of 'rpm -q Thunar' there?

Comment 2 Michael Cronenworth 2006-11-29 22:36:37 UTC

Thunar-0.5.0-0.1.rc2

I'm not doubting the official package was built with gamin support, but for some
reason it isn't working when I use the official package. It affects two systems
I use XFCE on. One is a development machine(32-bit), and another is a desktop
machine (64-bit).

I finally got fed up that it wasn't refreshing automatically I rebuilt it
manually and it's working fine now. Per your SPEC file, you can't even build
Thunar unless you have gamin-devel installed, so I'm as puzzled as you are on this.

Comment 3 Michael Cronenworth 2006-11-29 23:16:57 UTC

Forget the desktop machine, it works fine. For some reason it only affected my
32-bit machine. Unsure if the reinstall of the Thunar did something... so you
might put this bug on the back burner for a few weeks and if you don't hear from
me it's probably nothing to worry about.

Comment 4 Kevin Fenzi 2006-11-29 23:56:45 UTC

So both machines are now working? Or the 32bit devel machine is still not working?

Comment 5 Michael Cronenworth 2006-12-01 14:58:26 UTC

I reinstalled the official Thunar package and it seems to be OK. Reinstalling
seemed to have fixed it.
