FAM problem (not refreshing my desktop)

Hi all, well the title says it all
I reinstalled arch the other day and i installed kdemod, and i added my usuals DAEMONS to rc.conf
When i boot it says File Alteration Monitor loads correctly, and even if i do a /etc/rc.d/fam restart , it says it was done susefully
The problem is that it dosnt refresh my desktop, i have to hit f5 every time if i want to see some changes in my folders
Anyone knows what could be the problem?
my rc.conf
# DAEMONS
# Daemons to start at boot-up (in this order)
# - prefix a daemon with a ! to disable it
# - prefix a daemon with a @ to start it up in the background
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng dbus hal network alsa wicd netfs crond fam kdm)
I have tried by changing the order, to background it, but it dosnt work
Any log i could check for fam behavior??
Thanks for any help
cheers

Well, thanks for the replies, i have removed FAM from the daemons list (i used opnbox+thunar fow a while so i guess i was used to fam)
and i reboteed, but i still have the same problem, how do i know if inotify is working on my system??
I have everything default, base instalation + kdemod
If i download something to desktop, the file appears in the desktop, but not in konqueror (if i have already konqueror open)
Sorry about my english, ill add a screenshot so you can see what im talking about
After i took the screen whit scrot, i had to hit F5 to get the .png show in my home folder : s

Swing problem: table is not refreshed when i open it from jdialog

Hi , my situation is this one :
1. i have a swing form.
2. i have created a panel form where i have a drop down list and a table. wich are depndend with each other. When i choose an item to the drop down list the value in the table is changed.
3. i invoke this panel into the form with drag and drop, with invoke jDialog from button option.
4. First time i run the form and open the panel from button the drop down list and the table are working correctly.
5. i close the panel and open it again: And at this time when i choose an item from drop down list the table is not refreshed anymore. I have to run the form again if i want that this panel to work correctly.
Am i doing smth wrong? I dont have too much experience in swing , and the documentation for adf-swign are really poor .
Ps: Maybe i should explain the way i have created the drop down list and table in the panel . i am not using smth like execute with parameters for the view in the table. I have created a link between the view in the drop down list and the view in the table. It seems they work correcly if i run the panel for the first time.
Thanks in advance !

To answer your question, Restore the iPhone with current iTunes on your computer. If fixed, it was software. If still problem, most likely hardware, and then make Genius reservation or set up Service and take or send to Apple for resolution under Warranty.

JSP NOT REFRESHING PROBLEM

Hi all,
I am usng iPlanet 6.0 Application Server and iPlanet Web Server 4.1. Whenever i am changing the JSP it's not refreshing i.e the changes are not taking. But once i stop and restart the server its working
I changed in the kregedit tool
in Software\iPlanet\6.0\CCSO\SYSTEM_JAVA\Versioning
Disable =0
JSP_CACHE_SIZE = 0
and i guven even 10 in jsp_Cache_size.
please if any one knows how to activate the jsp dynamic loading please give me your solutions
Thanks in advance
Venkatesan.C

could this be a problem with your machine/ISP caching the jsp page, even though you set the property to never cache, some ignore this.
Try 'shift' refresh and all should be well.

I have an imac osx 5 mos.old. First time today I can not open my desktop folder/files. I need to read them. Message is: appleworks 6 quit unexpectedly. I need to read them. Is it possible that new software downloaded yesterday is problem?

I have an imac osx 5 months old. For the first time today I can not open my desktop folders which are very important to me. How can I open these folders.
The message when I click on the folder is "appleworks 6 quit unexpectedly". I can not open the folder. Is it possible that new software installed could cause the problem when I get the message "new softward available for your computer, install now. Maybe I should never install upgrade. Please help in layman's language how to open my folders. Thanks.

The curious thing here is that on the one hand the code cannot be loaded so how could the trojan code be ever executed. But you would expect the "Unexpectedly quit" message if the intel trojan did get executed in a ppc app. So this begs the question when (and how) does the trojan code get executed in conjunction with launching an app?
I understand code injected into a specific app like safari that uses the global environment variable to access the code in /Users/Shared. But I don't understand how that code could be executed by attempting to run an randomly chosen ppc app. Unless of course other code has been injected is in a more critical place than just safari and that is scary.
Some of this was explained to us a few weeks back by an infected user who reverse engineered the code, working with Intego to figure out why he was being re-directed on Google searches. At the time, nobody believed much of anything he was saying, but F-Secure explains it more fullly in this analysis. Note that there is a filter component to keep it from loading code into apps that would be unstable, so watch for the next variant to filter out ppc only apps.
In a related matter, I got word from the PC side of the house that similar techniques are being used by drive-by infections that were injecting code into a running app which would disappear when they quit the app. A one-time infection, so to speak. Makes it really hard to even know you were temporarily infected, let alone how, why, what damage, etc.

My desktop calendar does not refresh

My iMac desktop calendar does not refresh - this is since I upgraded to Yosemite. I get a notice "can't connect to cal.me.com - make sure you are connected to the internet and try later!!!" It pushes out to my iPad and a shared iMac computer of my husbands but not my desktop calendar. Any ideas?

Splitter Problem - ALV Grid not refreshed when selected another item

Hi Experts!!
I have a container on screen 100 which has to be split into 3 areas. Left area ->tree, Right top area -alv grid and bottom also alv grid. I created the program without splitter and it was working fine. After I added this splitter, I see that in ALV grid, the data is not being refreshed. When double clicked on an item in tree struct, ALV grid (CL_SALV_TABLE) to be shown.. Firstly it's fine but when I double click on another item, it's not refreshing the data but is showing the same previous data.
I have searched existing posts and implemented, but no luck.

Remote Desktop Session - Sections of Screen Not Refreshing

Remote Desktop Session Not Refreshing
I have 3 monitors.
When I connect to any RDP session, my screen seems to lag. For instance, I click the start button and nothing displays, but when I move the mouse, I see parts of the start menu appear.
This seems to be a recent issue. I RDP sessions throughout the day, so you could imagine how annoying this could be.
Can anyone please give me some advice?

Hello NBell_DF,
Please try to use other Windows 7 computer in the same network environment to see if they can normally remote desktop to the corresponding computers.
If they also have the same issue, it may be related to the network. And then use the command ping <destination IP> to check the network delay.
If other computer don’t have the similar issue, please update the network driver.
Additionally, we could choose your connection speed to optimize performance.

Most people have no problems with installing firefox as an upgrade, but there are quite a few things that can cause problems. Please have a look at the articles
* [[software Update Failed]] <-- clickable link (blue ) --
* [[firefox will not start]]
* [[firefox does not work]]
Post back after you read them and say what you tried. Have you ensured you used an admin account, possibly needing to check the UAC setting, and that security software is not blocking the changes. You should certainly try starting in firefox's [[safe mode]] either from a menu/icon option or by holding the shift key as you attempt to run firefox.
Is the browser icon you see on the desktop, and a firefox icon ?

XFCE, desktop icons not refreshing

Yesterday I tried to create 2 icons on my desktop but they didn't show up, today though when I start my computer the icons I created does exist. But now I can't delete the icons, well XFCE does say the icon doesn't exist if I try to delete it a second time. Why isn't XFCE refreshing my desktop icons? or is it suppose to refresh them only on login/logout?

Do you have "fam" installed and started ?

Dock looks screwy, clock is missing and LMB not working on desktop

This seems to touch on several parts of the os at once:
I maintain two iMacs in a retail environment - the accounts are managed and the users can only access some basic functions of the OS plus our POS software. They can't install apps or adjust settings so there's little they can do theoretically. All software is either in the OS or is made for 10.6 (MS Office on one machine, Salon Transcripts on both)
I first had this problem on one iMac that had 10.5 (the rest were on 10.4) and out of frustration, I upgraded both machines to 10.6 and now the problem happens on both.
1. Left clicks don't work in dock (3 button mouse. hover works, right mouse button works) or on desktop icons. Can't launch new apps but can cmd tab to active apps. Once in an app, LMB clicks works fine.
2. An open app might leave a copy of itself on the desktop (like a buffer not refreshing) except that I can launch the app over that image and the image will remain. It's very confusing to the users who don't know how to tell the difference.
3. The dock looses it's background graphic. The dock's mirror effect ends up mirroring everything in the lower part of the screen - apps, desktop, dock icons, etc. so the bottom inch of the screen is just a mirror of the inch of screen just above it.
4. The top bar clock and all icons on the right half of the bar are missing.
A reboot fixes all of the above for a short while and the problems return. This is really frustrating and debilitating during retail hours. Suggestions or fixes are welcome.
hardware: both are iMac 17" core 2 duo MA590LL/A, 1Gb ram, 160GB drives that are mostly unused.

Unlike SideStepSociety, I've never +wiped an HD and reinstalled from scratch+, finding it to be total waste of time. I've beta-tested every OS upgrade from Panther through Snow Leopard and always just upgrade them, ensuring that I have tested bootable backups/clones to revert back to. The only time I install the OS onto an empty volume is to test that the setup assistant does its magic by migrating from the previously good OS. Once I ensure that the procedure works, I wipe the HD, put a clone onto it, and upgrade it.
As for your query, if the original is mucked up, so will be the backup/clone. I use Carbon Copy Cloner instead of SuperDuper!, but both are viable.

When the screen saver turns off my front panel does not refresh.

when the screen saver turns off my front panel does not refresh. If I use the show desktop button sometimes I can not maximize my vi by just clicking on it from the start bar.

I utilize both a screen saver and the show desktop feature but have never seen this problem in the past. You might play around with your screen saver settings to see if they have any affect. You might also try another computer just to make sure something larger scale isn't going on. Also, testing with other programs to make sure it isn't a general OS issue is always a good idea. Other possibilities include changing your Video Driver settings, updating your video driver, and uninstalling - reinstalling.

Portions of the screen do not refresh

Screen is white after screen saver goes to sleep. Desktop does not refresh when keyboard is used to wake. launching an app will show in the window of the app with rest of desktop still white. started happening after OSX update.

Resetting the PRAM didn't fix it.
I believe the problem lies in the screen saver that is active when the screen sleeps. I was using a slideshow screen saver and had the white screen problem...once I changed to a generic screen saver such as flurry, the problem went away. Try that and report back here.
Obviously the OS is not freeing up the video memory used by the slideshow. I would venture to say the problem is a perfect storm of the particular video card, processor and a slideshow screen saver.

Refreshing the desktop?

I've been having a problem where my icons and things on the desktop have left over things displaying from other programs. Without restarting, is there a way to refresh the desktop?
Thanks.

Applications that are no longer running shouldn't leave anything visible on the Desktop. Cached files are stored in separate cache locations, not on the Desktop. File icons, application icons, and the like can appear on the Desktop and in the Desktop folder. Why you have items remaining from programs no longer running is beyond me, but suggests you may have other problems to fix such as a preference file or a corrupted cache file not related to the Desktop but to the application that caused the zombie images to appear.
Hard to tell when I can't see to what you are referring.

Finder not refreshin the desktop.

Hi!... does anyone have this problem?
When downloading files from Igetter o Firefox they download directly to my desktop... If i go through the finder / local disk / desktop i'm able to see them
But if I press F11 (to see my desktop) they don't apear...
Have to kill the finder and then appear.

I am having the same problem, except that it is not just with downloads. The same applies to mounted disks and any other icon that usually shows on the desktop. If I browse through Finder I can see the mounted removable disk or newly downloaded file, for example, but if I look on my desktop neither appear.
This has only started happening since I upgraded to Leopard earlier this week. The only way to refresh the desktop seems to be to force Relaunch Finder which is both time consuming and should not be necessary. Would appreciate any help from anyone who can offer a solution.
PS Zevah, your English is fine.
