Problem with FAM

Hi all,
My FAM daemon doesn't seem to work properly.  Everytime I reboot it seems to be fine at startup (I see the [DONE] message), but when I shutdown it gives an [ERROR] symbol.
So, I decided to stop and start it manually to see what was going on.  I went to /etc/rc.d and ran "fam restart". I get:
:: Stopping File Alteration Monitor [FAIL]
:: Starting File Alteration Monitor [DONE]
It seems that when I start it, it shows that it's successful, but in /var/log/daemon.log it shows:
Apr 25 11:29:25 nazgul famd[5508]: can't register with portmapper.
(note: 'nazgul' is my hostname)
Does anyone know anything about the portmapper and how to set it up?
Thanks in advance!

Ok this is a little embarressing but I solved it  :oops:
It turns out that I need to have the network rc.d script running too.  I recompiled my kernel with network built in, but this script requires that I have it as a module it seems.
so, in /etc/rc.d/ I ran:
./network restart
./portmap restart
./fam restart
and all went well ...

  • File managers don't work, might have to do with FAM?

    So I've tried both thunar and pcmanfm and they fail to open directories when I click them, so I replaced gamin with FAM, and it didn't work, so I switched back and it didn't work.
    Can anyone help me?

    i think have the same problem. When i start pcmanfm i can exactly one time change to any directory with the mouse. after that nothing gets highlited and nothing happens on double click. navigating with keyboard or by typing something in the adress bar works fine though. Thunar gave me similar behaviour, but nautilus works fine.
    I'am on x86_64 testing.

  • [solved] Problems with HAL

    I am having problems with HAL. I first noticed it when trying to log out of XFCE an it was asking for my password and then I would see this message when X stopped:
    xfsm-shutdown-helper.c:134: Failed to contact hal: The name org.freedesktop.Hal was not provided by any .services files
    Hal is listed in my daemons of rc.conf
    DAEMONS=(syslog-ng network netfs crond hal @fam @alsa)
    I am part of the power group
    [ryan ~]$ groups
    disk lp wheel log locate network video audio optical storage scanner power users
    I think there is something wrong with hal since it's not loading at boot and I can't start it once logged in
    [ryan ~]$ sudo /etc/rc.d/hal stop
    :: Stopping Hardware Abstraction Layer [FAIL]
    [ryan ~]$ sudo /etc/rc.d/hal start
    :: Starting Hardware Abstraction Layer [FAIL]
    I don't know what to do. Searching for the 'xfsm-shutdown-helper' error says to look in .xsession-errors but I can't find that file. HAL should be loading at boot though and it is not so I think that is the cause of the error anyway.
    This all started when I was trying to clean up goup.pacnew and gshadow.pacnew files.
    Edit: solved

    Thanks but there was nothing there about hal.
    My problem is solved though. hal was updated to version 0.5.11-4 and it is loading during boot and my error message on shutdown is gone.

  • Problems with Open Format Timeline

    HEllo to everybody.
    I have a little problem with the open format timeline editing.
    I'll try to explain it as clearly as I can.
    I'm editing a project which will output as PAL 25 Uncompressed 8-bit, letterboxed, through an Aja LH to IMX tape
    I'm editing different formats, PAL 25 and HDV 720p.
    I'm now doing the online editing. I used media manager to create an offline project and I'm recapturing my media at high quality.
    My timeline settings are PAL 25 Uncompressed 8-bit. I'm recapturing my PAL 25 footage Uncompressed 8-bit and my HD footage via component through the Aja with the setting 720p 50 Uncompressed 8-bit.
    On the timeline though, my HD footage shows cropped on both sides. Meanwhile when I open the master clip from the browser it is in his 16:9 aspect ratio.
    When I re-edit the clips in the timeline they are no longer cropped but show in their 16:9 aspect ratio.
    My question:
    is there a way to recapture the clips from my timeline in a way that they already show in their original 16:9 aspect ratio?
    Or the only thing to do is to swap all the clips on the timeline with their corresponding master clips in the Browser? The project is an hour and 20 minutes, and the second option is quite time consuming and greatly boring.
    I would greatly welcome any suggestion
    thank you

    Incidentally, your fame is spreading over here.
    Last night at our club meeting we were visited by a neighbouring society. One woman happened to mention to someone that she was having problems with FCE 4, so she was directed to me.

  • Keyboard problems with KonsolePart and KatePart

    Hi!
    I'm having a very strange problem with my keyboard's laptop. I use a Compaq 6720s with spanish keyboard and KDE4 installed.
    I can write normally on any app (OpenOffice.org, Dolphin, Plasma Desktop, etc), but not in KatePart/KonsolePart-based apps, like Kwrite, Kate, Konsole or Yakuake.
    For example, it doesn't recognise these characters: "( ) / & % $ + _ ." but it does recognise : "* _" and other special characters. This is very strange because . and : are in the same key, + and * are too in the same key. Any hint about what is happening?

    I have also detected that Nano doesn't display itself correcly. This is an XML file screenshot:

  • A problem with threads

    I am trying to implement some kind of a server listening for requests. The listener part of the app, is a daemon thread that listens for connections and instantiates a handling daemon thread once it gets some. However, my problem is that i must be able to kill the listening thread at the user's will (say via a sto button). I have done this via the Sun's proposed way, by testing a boolean flag in the loop, which is set to false when i wish to kill the thread. The problem with this thing is the following...
    Once the thread starts excecuting, it will test the flag, find it true and enter the loop. At some point it will LOCK on the server socket waiting for connection. Unless some client actually connects, it will keep on listening indefinatelly whithought ever bothering to check for the flag again (no matter how many times you set the damn thing to false).
    My question is this: Is there any real, non-theoretical, applied way to stop thread in java safely?
    Thank you in advance,
    Lefty

    This was one solution from the socket programming forum, have you tried this??
    public Thread MyThread extends Thread{
         boolean active = true;          
         public void run(){
              ss.setSoTimeout(90);               
              while (active){                   
                   try{                       
                        serverSocket = ss.accept();
                   catch (SocketTimeoutException ste){
                   // do nothing                   
         // interrupt thread           
         public void deactivate(){               
              active = false;
              // you gotta sleep for a time longer than the               
              // accept() timeout to make sure that timeout is finished.               
              try{
                   sleep(91);               
              }catch (InterruptedException ie){            
              interrupt();
    }

  • Problem with Threads and a static variable

    I have a problem with the code below. I am yet to make sure that I understand the problem. Correct me if I am wrong please.
    Code functionality:
    A timer calls SetState every second. It sets the state and sets boolean variable "changed" to true. Then notifies a main process thread to check if the state changed to send a message.
    The problem as far I understand is:
    Assume the timer Thread calls SetState twice before the main process Thread runs. As a result, "changed" is set to true twice. However, since the main process is blocked twice during the two calls to SetState, when it runs it would have the two SetState timer threads blocked on its synchronized body. It will pass the first one, send the message and set "changed" to false since it was true. Now, it will pass the second thread, but here is the problem, "changed" is already set to false. As a result, it won't send the message even though it is supposed to.
    Would you please let me know if my understanding is correct? If so, what would you propose to resolve the problem? Should I call wait some other or should I notify in a different way?
    Thanks,
    B.D.
    Code:
    private static volatile boolean bChanged = false;
    private static Thread objMainProcess;
       protected static void Init(){
            objMainProcess = new Thread() {
                public void run() {
                    while( objMainProcess == Thread.currentThread() ) {
                       GetState();
            objMainProcess.setDaemon( true );
            objMainProcess.start();
        public static void initStatusTimer(){
            if(objTimer == null)
                 objTimer = new javax.swing.Timer( 1000, new java.awt.event.ActionListener(){
                    public void actionPerformed( java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt){
                              SetState();
        private static void SetState(){
            if( objMainProcess == null ) return;
            synchronized( objMainProcess ) {
                bChanged = true;
                try{
                    objMainProcess.notify();
                }catch( IllegalMonitorStateException e ) {}
        private static boolean GetState() {
            if( objMainProcess == null ) return false;
            synchronized( objMainProcess ) {
                if( bChanged) {
                    SendMessage();
                    bChanged = false;
                    return true;
                try {
                    objMainProcess.wait();
                }catch( InterruptedException e ) {}
                return false;
        }

    Thanks DrClap for your reply. Everything you said is right. It is not easy to make them alternate since SetState() could be called from different places where the state could be anything else but a status message. Like a GREETING message for example. It is a handshaking message but not a status message.
    Again as you said, There is a reason I can't call sendMessage() inside setState().
    The only way I was able to do it is by having a counter of the number of notifies that have been called. Every time notify() is called a counter is incremented. Now instead of just checking if "changed" flag is true, I also check if notify counter is greater than zero. If both true, I send the message. If "changed" flag is false, I check again if the notify counter is greater than zero, I send the message. This way it works, but it is kind of a patch than a good design fix. I am yet to find a good solution.
    Thanks,
    B.D.

  • Problem with threads running javaw

    Hi,
    Having a problem with multi thread programming using client server sockets. The program works find when starting the the application in a console using java muti.java , but when using javaw multi.java the program doesnt die and have to kill it in the task manager. The program doesnt display any of my gui error messages either when the server disconnect the client. all works find in a console. any advice on this as I havent been able to understand why this is happening? any comment would be appreciated.
    troy.

    troy,
    Try and post a minimum code sample of your app which
    does not work.
    When using javaw, make sure you redirect the standard
    error and standard output streams to file.
    Graeme.Hi Graeme,
    I dont understand what you mean by redirection to file? some of my code below.

  • Problem with threads and camera.

    Hi everybody!
    I've a problem with taking snapshot.
    I would like to display a loading screen after it take snapshot ( sometimes i
    have to wait few seconds after i took snapshot. Propably photo is being taken in time where i have to wait).
    I was trying to use threads but i didn't succeed.
    I made this code:
    display.setCurrent(perform);               
            new Thread(new Runnable(){
                public void run() {               
                    while((!performing.isShown()) && (backgroundCamera.isShown())){
                        Thread.yield();
                    notifyAll();
            }).start();
            new Thread(new Runnable(){
                public void run() {
                    try {
                        this.wait();                   
                    } catch(Exception e) {
                        exceptionHandler(e);
                    photo = camera.snapshot();                               
                    display.setCurrent(displayPhoto);
            }).start();This code is sometimes showing performing screen but sometimes no.
    I don't know why. In my opinion performing.isShown() method isn't working correctly.
    Does anyone have some idea how to use threads here?

    Hi,
    I've finally managed to work this fine.
    The code:
           Object o = new Object();
           display.setCurrent(perform);               
            new Thread(new Runnable(){
                public void run() {               
                    while(!performing.isShown()){
                        Thread.yield();
                   synchronized(o) {
                      o.notify();
            }).start();
            new Thread(new Runnable(){
                public void run() {
                    try {
                        synchronized(o) {
                           o.wait(1);
                    } catch(Exception e) {
                        exceptionHandler(e);
                    photo = camera.snapshot();                               
                    display.setCurrent(displayPhoto);
            }).start();

  • Problem with threads hanging

    We have a problem where our application stops responding after a few days of usage. Things will for fine for a day or two, and then pretty quickly threads will start getting hung up, usually in places where they are allocating memory
    We are running WebLogic 8.1 SP2 on Sun JDK 1.4.2_04 on Solaris 8 using the alternate threading model and the -server hotspot vm. We are running pretty much the same code that we had no problems with under WebLogic 6.1 SP4 and Sun JDK 1.3.1.
    A thread dump usually shows that some or all of our execute threads are in the state "waiting for monitor entry" even though they are not currently waiting on any java locks. Here is a sample thread from the thread dump (we have ~120 threads so I don't want to post the full dump).

    String.java line 1446 for this jdk allocates a new String object, and all the other threads in this state also are creating new objects or arrays, etc.
    We've done a pstack on this process when it's in this state, and the threads that are in the "waiting for monitor entry" that look like they're allocating memory are all waiting on the same lwp_mutex_lock with some allocation method that's calling into the native TwoGenerationCollectorPolicy.mem_allocate_work (see pstack output below for the same thread as in the thread dump above)

    Has anyone ever seen anything like this? I'm trying to figure out if this is caused by something we're doing, or something relating to our environment and jvm options. Any ideas?

    Thanks for the reply - I'm testing our app with the +UseConcMarkSweepGC now in our test environment to make sure it doesn't cause any problems there.  Unfortunately the only place we've had this problem is on the production server, so it's extra difficult debugging this. 
    We're using the following memory options:
    -ms512m -mx512m -XX:NewSize=128m -XX:PermSize=192m -XX:MaxNewSize=128m -XX:MaxPermSize=192m -XX:SurvivorRatio=8and the following debugging options, as we've also been seeing OutOfMemoryErrors ( see http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=37&thread=522354&tstart=45&trange=15 )
    -verbosegc -XX:+PrintGCDetails -XX:+PrintGCTimeStamps -XX:+PrintHeapAtGCBTW, which c++filt version and options are you using? Our Solaris boxes only seem to have the GNU version installed. I was trying to run that on some of the other stack traces and wasn't getting anywhere, and didn't know if because it was GNU version wouldn't work on something compiled with the Sun compiler.
    Thanks!

  • Problem with threads and ProgressMonitor

    Dear Friends:
    I have a little problem with a thread and a ProgressMonitor. I have a long time process that runs in a thread (the thread is in an separate class). The thread has a ProgressMonitor that works fine and shows the tasks progress.
    But I need deactivate the main class(the main class is the user interface) until the thread ends.
    I use something like this:
    LongTask myTask=new LongTask();
    myTask.start();
    myTask.join();
    Now, the main class waits for the task to end, but the progress monitor don`t works fine: it shows only the dialog but not the progress bar.
    What's wrong?

    Is the dialog a modal dialog? This can block other UI updates.
    In general, you should make sure that it isn't modal, and that your workThread has a fairly low priority so that the UI can do its updating

  • Problem with threads and/or memory

    I'm developing an application where there are 3 threads. One of them sends a request to the other, and if the 2nd can't answer it, it sends it to the 3rd (similar to CPU -> CACHE -> MEMORY). When i run the program with 1000-10.000 requests, no problem occurs. When i run it with 300.000-1.000.000 requests, it sometimes hangs. Is this a problem with the garbage collector, or should it be related to the threads mecanism.
    (note: eache thread is in execution using a finite state machine)

    i had been running the program inside Netbeans.
    Running the jar using the command line outside
    Netbeans i have no more problems... Does Netbeans use
    it's own JVM?Depends how you set it up, but look under the options. There are settings for the compiler and jvm that it uses.

  • Installation problem with NW'04 SR1: database connection failed

    Hi all,
    while installing NW '04 SR1 on Windows Server 2003 SP1 and MS SQL Server 2000 SP4 I ran into an error related to the database connection. While performing the step "Load Java Database content" SAPinst crashes with the message
    com.sap.sql.log.OpenSQLException: Could not load class com.ddtek.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver.
    The connection to the SLQ Server with e.g. the Query Analyzer is OK. I had a problem with this installation setup before (have a look at the corresponding <a href="https://forums.sdn.sap.com/thread.jspa?threadID=338638&tstart=0">thread</a> ), the JDBC drivers where missing on the installation master but after copying them in the right direction the installation went on with no problem up to this point...
    Has anybody an idea what could have happened here? Is this maybe a problem connected to the one I recently had
    Below I attached the sapinst.log and jload.log with more detailed messages.

  • Problem with item and/or data during page-processing-PS/SQL

    Greetings!
    On my page I have a custom report (from 2 tables) and a small form-field, that adds and edits data in the report. After generating the form with the wizard I added an extra item, to store the id from one of the tables from the report data.
    Now, on submit a calculation should take place, that updates data according user input with a procedure in Page-Prosseses:
    declare a number;
    begin
    case :PLATZ
    when 1 then a:=100;
    when 2 then a:= 50;
    else a:=25;
    end case;
    update TBL_MITGLIEDER set TURNIERPUNKTE = TURNIERPUNKTE + a
    where ID_MITGL = :P14_ID_MITGL;
    end;
    :PLATZ is user selected (1,2,3), :P14_ID_MITGL stores the reference to TBL_MITGLIEDER (and shows the change, when I select another record)
    As I understand, that process should also run, when I submit a chance, but nothing happens then.
    But when I try to save a new record (which worked without any problems before adding that process), I get this error message:
    ORA-06550: line 1, column 64: PL/SQL: ORA-00957: duplicate column name ORA-06550: line 1, column 7: PL/SQL: SQL Statement ignored
         Error      Unable to process row of table TBL_TURNIERSIEGER.
    Then, when I go back into the app-builder and try to run the page again, I get this message:
    ORA-01403: no data found
         Error      Unable to fetch row.
    I am not sure, if you guys have all the information you need, to know whats going on. Maybe this has to do with session-id and the whay, items are updated. I hope you can help me.
    Thanks, best regards,
    tobi

    First can you please post all log file errors
    >> I can't really give you a solution or specific recommendation since I did not saw this error yet myself, but on your own risk you can try:
    1. You may try to just register 'dts.dll' using regsvr32.exe, but this error may indicate a bigger problem with setup.
    If you are running SQL Server 64bit then try running this at the command prompt: %windir%\syswow64\regsvr32 "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft SQL Server\90\dts\binn\dts.dll"
    2. You can try reinstall from start (In this case you have to make sure that you un-install all)
