    How to kill the "Connection Established" Popup

    I'm up to Intrepid Ibex with a fresh install.

    How do I kill the "Connection Established" popup that appears every time I startup and the network manager connects to the wireless access point?

    Re: How to kill the "Connection Established" Popup

    its a bug in nm-applet, its been addressed (i think) , and will be featured in the next release.

    you might not want to disable the notification "balloon" (libnotify) system wide as many programs do use it.

    Removing libnotify doesn't seem a good idea...

    $ sudo apt-get remove libnotify1

    Do you want to continue [Y/n]? n
    Btw I'm using Jaunty.

    EDIT:
    Removing notify-osd is also not possible without removing a few other gnome components:

    $ sudo apt-get purge notify-osd

    I'll try with a chmod -x ...

    Ok, if anyone else is looking for a solution I managed to disable (not remove) notify-osd with a simple:

    sudo chmod -x /usr/lib/notify-osd/notify-osd
    pkill notify-osd
    btw, there's a dozen pages long bug report at launchpad on this issue...

    Re: How to kill the "Connection Established" Popup

    I looked around a bit on this Bug. I've just Upgraded to Karmic, but this still seems to be an issue, for some reason.

    Seems that "Notifications" has been discussed in several places, and quite a while ago...
    http://old.nabble.com/can%27t-disabl...d20494015.html

    The Bug reports suggest that nm-appler 0.7 had an option added to surpress non-critical notifications, but I don't seem to see that in Karmic. So, the current work around is...
    Code:
    gconf-editor
    /apps/nm-applet/
    disable-connected-notifications [x]    'mark as TRUE
    disable-disconnected-notifications [x]   'mark as TRUE

    I've also noticed that when I resume from Standby, I usually get a Disconnected notification. So the fix I listed earlier apparently isn't perfect.

    Re: How to kill the "Connection Established" Popup

    Whenever I automatically connect to a network I get the popup we're talking about. It shows up in the upper right corner of my screen.

    I assume it shows up there because the default panel location is along the top of the screen.

    I keep my panel on the left (vertical space is more valuable to me than horizontal space), but the popup still shows in the upper right hand corner, which looks pretty silly.

    I'd be interested in any way to disable the notification as well.

    By the way, I'm using Karmic.

    Edit: tried ScottHW's workaround, doesn't seem to be working for me. Still get 'em whenever connecting of disconnecting, not just while going on standby. (thanks though!)
