Detective support: what is going on with pcmanfm and dbus?

Hello again,
thanks for reading and sorry for spamming the forum but I prefer to open one topic per question for simplicity.
I noticed that pcmanfm is putting debug messages into my terminal when I launch it from there which look like this:
** (pcmanfm:3426): DEBUG: device_added: /org/freedesktop/UDisks/devices/sda
** (pcmanfm:3426): DEBUG: device_added: /org/freedesktop/UDisks/devices/sda1
** (pcmanfm:3426): DEBUG: device_added: /org/freedesktop/UDisks/devices/sda2
** (pcmanfm:3426): DEBUG: device_added: /org/freedesktop/UDisks/devices/sda3
** (pcmanfm:3426): DEBUG: device_added: /org/freedesktop/UDisks/devices/sda4
** (pcmanfm:3426): DEBUG: device_added: /org/freedesktop/UDisks/devices/sda5
** (pcmanfm:3426): DEBUG: device_added: /org/freedesktop/UDisks/devices/sda6
** (pcmanfm:3426): DEBUG: device_added: /org/freedesktop/UDisks/devices/sdc
** (pcmanfm:3426): DEBUG: device_added: /org/freedesktop/UDisks/devices/sdc1
that notation looks familiar to me, looks like pcmanfm is sending messages to dbus?
How could I have noticed that pcmanfm is using dbus without stumbling across these debug messages by accident as each program author may or may not provide these? How do I find out from there (meaning: once I have identified what is going to dbus) what is being done with these messages, i.e. how do I follow the sequence of events up until the mounting of my devices? Ideally, I am imagining that there is a command to look at what messages were sent to dbus, then a config file to look at to see what dbus did based on these messages, such that I could deduce pcmanfm -> message to dbus -> look in config file /path/to/config -> mount /dev/sdc1 /media -t vfat
Is this something that can be deduced without having to guess around from merely having experience with linux?
thanks a lot for reading this and thanks for your kind replies!

i don't get it, what is your question? i don't see a problem with this. if everything is functioning i wouldn't worry about it. for example, i can start something like kwrite from terminal and i get a bajillion different notes showing up just from typing or clicking on something like "find" (some of them are debug messages, some are warnings, most of it is disorganized and scrambled info) yet it works perfectly fine.

STILL NOT SOLVED. So...What Is Going On With Java And How Do I Update It?

So...I checked my plugins this morning, and it said both my Java platform and my Java Deployment Toolkit needed updating. However, I click Update, and the link does not lead me to a download page. Plus, when I try to verify my Java version on the Java page, it says that I have the recommended Java installed (and so do other sites that run on Java). How do I update these things so that everything is up to date?
Screenshots for further info:

<sub>'''EDIT:''' You need the x86 package (32-bit version of Java) on both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows to use the Java plugin for Firefox, which is a 32-bit browser. The X64 64-bit Java is only needed for 64-bit browsers, if you use one. Ref: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Java#Java_downloads aw</sub>
The JDK version is for Developers, you want the '''JRE''' version. The Development Toolkit plugin comes with both versions, but that plugin is really only needed by people developing for Java.
As far as '''if''' you should update right now, my answer is '''NO'''. From what I am reading the U10 version is messed up and is not installing the Firefox required U10 plugin. Not sure if Oracle didn't update it for Firefox, or if some users are missing the registry key needed for Firefox to locate the new plugin.

What is going on with Pages and Yosemite???

I have tried over and over to update Pages and Numbers after the Yosemite upgrade including deleting the apps and then re-downloading them from the app store. Nothing is working. This is all since the Yosemite upgrade last week (that also re-downloaded on its own this morning).
Can anyone help??

Yosemite upgrade caused freezes and extremely slow operation my my 2009 Imac ...I recovered using Time Machine to pre-yosemite but lost all pages and numbers documents edited after the yosemite update , and after reversion to Mavericks, cannot open pages unless I upgrade to yosemite and use its pages version. Yosemite is a problem for other software companies that are scrambling to make their products compatible with yosemite. The Safari 8 version in yosemite lacks the reset feature in Safari 7 pre-yosemite.
Perhaps you can use Google Drive to open documents in earlier versions of pages. But it will not open a new pages version .

What is going on with technical support?

I have been on the phone for over 2 hours trying to get ahold of technical support. Then I get disconnected and need to dial back in.
What is going on with technical support? The handful of times when I needed to open a trouble ticket with ADOBE, it was a reasonable amount of time.
I hope this is not an indication of the current direction of the company. I have used Coldfusion for over 8 years and have never had such a horrible experience.

This information is a couple of years old, so I can not vouch for how current it is. But it may be worth a try.

After doing a Google search, I click on a link and go to the searched web page. When I go back to the Google page using the back button the links I originally clicked on no longer show as "greyed out". Any idea what is going on with the browser?

What's going on with iCloud 3/11/15?

What's going on with iCloud on 3/11/15? I can't sign in & asked over & over to log in. I need to get into iCloud pages to create a document. Same issues with iTunes.

iCloud appears to be mostly up now, but there's still some issues as reported storage is wrong and attempting to change storage plans results in an error. icloud.com is saying I have no documents or Photos stored, despite the fact there is stuff stored in iCloud Drive and iCloud Photos, both of which are currently working.
I tried calling support, but they couldn't help me without a PIN that you need to get from appleid.apple.com and trying to sign into that site results in an errors, so there are major problems today.

Why does apple make it so difficult to understand what is going on with my one to one?

Does anyone have any answers for this? I don't even know where to list it here as a question.
Just spent over 2 hours, off and on, trying to get someone at apple to help figure out what's going on with my one to one. They give a number for help but there's no one there - only more gibberish about go here go there go all over the place on their site.... So called 'customer service' doesn't understand my question? Another place it says call the store, well that was another waste of time....
If I get a message saying my one to one is expired and then I pay for it via paypal, wait for the activation email. I sure don't want to pay for something I already have - that was my grocery money for 2 weeks.
When I click on that link it says:
Activation error
This membership cannot be activated because this Apple ID is already associated with a One to One membership.

Update to latest patched version that no longer relies on Rosetta and PowerPC
Visit www.RoaringApps.com for a list and table of what version is supported, can be updated and which are not.
A year ago this was news.
Hopefully people kept a boot drive with the old OS so they could dual boot for a month or two whiile sorting out the changes and updates.

When i tried to purchase a movie, My Apple TV said it would take 11 hours to load. Any ideas about what to do or what is going on with that?

It always has a very high number at the beginning, but it never takes that long....
However, it can take several hours....I've found this to be true on any device or computer I've downloaded movies or tv shows on - Mac, PC, iPad, Kindle Fire....you name it.
However, even if it does take a long time, that does not prevent you from starting to watch it as soon as it has done a little downloading. Here is the Apple link for typical download times:

What is going on with the SPAM filtering?

Spoiler (Highlight to read)
What is going on with the SPAM filtering? Works fine for a couple of weeks then suddenly I got slammed with tons of SPAM for a few hours then suddenly the filtering kicks in again. Usually happens late at night and clears up in the morning. Never had this problem until just a couple months ago. It's gotten so bad that I'm about to move everything over to gmail and just stop using Verizon, would rather not do that as I've had the same e-mail address since the Bell Atlantic days.

Since we haven't heard back from you or have received a form submission as requested in your private support case, it appears assistance is no longer required. If you need any future help with your Verizon service, please make a post here on the forums so we can assist..

What is going on with the FATAL error message????

What is going on with the FATAL error message????

Same issue, since last night. Can't sign in to iTunes, download apps, or updates to apps on any device. I have iPhone 4S, iPad mini, MacBook Pro. East coast, writing this at 1:21pm EST. Changing password doesn't work. I can't log in with my iCloud address either. I have however noticed at least that if I enter the wrong password, I just get the incorrect password message. Using the right password gets the FATAL:: message every time.
I have my devices set to UK for the region even though I am in the US. Though that might have something to do with it so I switched to US- no change, same problem.
I agree that acknowledgement via their system status would be appropriate. Irritating that they are not at least publicly acknowledging there is a problem. I would feel much less concerned if I knew that they were aware and working on it. Can't find a support number anywhere but I did send a brief message via their help/contact page.

What is going on with Java? How do I disable if needed?

What is going on with Java. Should I be concerned? How do I disable Java on my Mac if needed?

Don't believe anyone who says that Macs are 100% secure and malware free. There have been several notable instances where after hearing this many people have found themselves in the midst of a Mac malware outbreak (MacDefender, DNSChanger, and Flashback, just to name a few).
These attacks have been rare, and with "many people" being around 1 percent of all Mac users, for now this has been far of an issue than on other platforms, but security issues do exist for Macs.
Whether or not this warrants the use of special security software is up to you.
My recommendation is to keep a low-key and free malware scanner on your system, such as iAntivirus, ClamXav, or Sophos Home edition that can be configured to only run on-demand, and then should you feel the need use it to run a scan of your system every now and then. You can also use a reverse firewall like Little Snitch to monitor all outbound connections, which was key for many Mac users who found evidence of the Flashback malware on their systems when that outbreak occurred (just see here for the thread where many detected the suspect behavior: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3844172).
Since malware is still quite rare on Mac systems, it is debatable as to whether or not security software is necessary, but my stance is if configured as I described then there is very minimal chance it will adversely affect the system. I've configured numerous Macs with anti-malware utilities and have not seen any problems with them, so for the most part there should be neglegable impact (if any). Keep in mind some security tools are more intrusive than others, and include a number of scanning routines that are enabled by default, so each one has its own approaches that will need to be considered. The ones I mentioned here are very light-weight.
The thing that will keep your system safest is (besides "common sense" safe computing practices) to use plugin managers and ad-blockers to prevent Java, Flash, and other plug-ins and scripts from launching automatically.
