Hello, i just uninstalled notify-osd according to this tutorial in another thread:
U can revert to the older style notification by (commands in terminal):
1. Install the notification-daemon package:
sudo apt-get install notification-daemon2. Rename the /usr/lib/notify-osd/notify-osd executable
sudo mv /usr/lib/notify-osd/notify-osd /usr/lib/notify-osd/notify-osd-original3. Create a symbolic link:
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/notification-daemon/notification-daemon /usr/lib/notify-osd/notify-osd4. Kill the original notification:
sudo killall notify-osd5. Launch the new notification - press alt+F2, type /usr/lib/notify-osd/notify-osd
6. Test:
notify-send test testWith this older notification type u can use the notification-ptoperties tool to set the location of the notification pop ups
However i came accross 2 problems:
1 - it doesn't appear like it was suposed to (sort of a Comic dialog baloon above the time) it appears has a square above the bottom right corner of the screen.
2 - It doesn't appear when i change songs. However it does appear when i run notify-send test test.
Ideas?
Thanks
