Hi! I recently installed ArchLinux on my notebook and I am really happy with Arch. But I've some minor things to fix, one problem is file system monitoring in KDE. I installed fam, I've put it in the daemons section of the rc.conf, it succesfully starts but it doesn't really work? I have to click on "reload" to see the actual content of a folder in konqueror after it changed, although fam runs:
ps aux | grep fam shows:garak 5013 0.0 0.1 3448 1332 ? Ss 12:27 0:00 /usr/sbin/famd -T 0 -c /etc/fam/fam.conf
I haven't changed fam.conf and there's no error message in the logs

Have you got networkmanager in your daemons array in /etc/rc.conf. fam needs to come after it or you end up with it running but not working.
If not, post the daemons part of rc.conf so we can have a look.

kdelibs use inotify by default to monitor files IIRC. You should only need fam if you want to monitor remote files.

Hi! My the daemon section in the rc.conf looks like this:
"DAEMONS=(syslog-ng network netfs ntpd crond acpid dbus hal fam laptop-mode alsa sensors fancontrol vmware)"
I need it only for monitoring local files, but inotify seems not to work, either? Some konqueror windows do acually synchronize correctly, other instances don't. Funny...
I opened two konqueror windows showing my ~/ and a konsole terminal and created a file with "touch xyz" to reproduce this...
edit: i'm using kdemod

My problem is that fam sometimes makes my cpu go to 100% and i have to kill it to restore the situation

This happens with Thunar frequently. The error logs will show thousands of listings for fam that happen in a few seconds. gamin is a drop-in replacement and it's not as buggy as fam. Install gamin and remove fam from the daemons array in rc.conf and some of the problems will lessen.

Are you sure it doesn't work as it should in konqueror when fam is disabled, goethe?
