So Sitter is suggesting that FAM is removed because it is only useful for NFS diskless systems and adds bloat to regular systems. NFS diskless systems is a huge time-saver for rolling out Linux in schools as you can centrally manage the OS and documents for close to 200 workstations and thousands of users on a single server/file system. Even shared NFS drop-box folders break when FAM isn't working.
I couldn't find a mailing list or bug-reporting system on the inotify website. Google search indicates that inotifiy does not have proper nfs support. FAM however is known to work with NFS - we have FAM working on Debian kde 3.5 as it is built with FAM support. However *buntu kde 4 does not have FAM support so it isn't working well with diskless. We would like to migrate from Debian to *butnu desktop as the software is up-to-date and a bit more end-user-friendly. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/525005 Title: kubuntu kde4 missing fam support for nfs (kdelibs-bin) -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
