It sounds to me like the problem is that KDirWatch now defaults to inotify, while it defaulted to FAM in kde 3.x. So the first thing to try, would be to force KDirWatch to use FAM/gamin: edit ~/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals for one user, or $KDEDIR/share/config/kdeglobals or /etc/kde4rc, and add [DirWatch] PreferredMethod=Fam nfsPreferredMethod=Fam This is probably related to bug 177892 (which is the one that made us add the support for the above configuration keys). I'm not sure why we made inotify the default for nfsPreferredMethod, maybe that one should be Fam... So it turns out that for some reason debian/kubuntu stopped building with build-dep on libfam-dev which in turn breaks diskless/nfs-mounted home folders. dmonty@acer:~$ zgrep fam /usr/share/doc/kdelibs-bin/changelog.Debian.gz - no build-dep on libfam-dev - no build-dep on libfam-dev - Remove build-dep on libfam-dev - Don't build-dep on libfam-dev * Don't build-dep on libfam-dev * kdelibs5-dev doesn't depend on fam So I: * Ensured libgamin-dev was installed (fam.h) * recompiled kdelibs-bin; apt-get builddep kdelibs-bin; apt-get source kdelibs-bin; build/install packages etc. This did not fix it at first... However I've not yet tried what is noted above... /etc/kde4rc: [DirWatch] PreferredMethod=Fam nfsPreferredMethod=Fam I'll get back to you on this one... I just fixed the FAM support in KDirWatch for kdelibs-4.6, and made it default for nfs-mounted directories. This should fix this bug, please reopen if it still happens with KDE-4.6. |
