Is xfce4-notifyd running?

ps -ef | grep notif

Go to Settings Manager -> Notifications. Which theme is selected? Try changing the theme to see if it helps.

yes, the notification is running


sergey 2358 1 0 22:07 ? 00:00:01 update-notifier
sergey 2508 2322 0 22:07 ? 00:00:00 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/xfce4/panel/wrapper /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/xfce4/panel/plugins/libsystray.so 12 27263017 systray Notification Area Area where notification icons appear

whatever theme and location i choose, the blue rectangle remains on the same position

That's not the notification daemon. You should get:


$ ps -ef | grep notif
toz 2428 2332 0 Jul04 ? 00:00:02 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/xfce4/panel/wrapper /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/xfce4/panel/plugins/libsystray.so 4 29360173 systray Notification Area Area where notification icons appear
toz 7091 1 0 13:04 ? 00:00:01 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/xfce4/notifyd/xfce4-notifyd


Maybe try running that executable to see if it fixes the problem. If the file doesn't exist, it is part of the xfce4-notifyd package.

if i try to re-run xfce4-notifyd, then i get message that "another xndaemon is running". i have not found this daemon in services list http://pastebin.com/ditrdf80

Do you have notify-osd installed?

Can you post back all of your running processes:

ps -ef | grep $USER

Looks like another notification daemon is running.

I had to remove (and kill) /usr/bin/dunst to solve this exact problem.

That did the job for me as well, thanks!


sudo apt-get purge dunst
