Notification command outdated #24

Open cubanpit opened 5 years ago

At the moment on an up to date Manjaro system update-notifier returns /bin/update-notifier: line 98: dunstify: command not found Many users on Manjaro also uninstalled dunst after an update one month ago, more or less. The simplest solution is to use notify-send, at least this is the first that comes to my mind.

There is a reference to notify-send also in the README file, so this method is the more consistent.

I think the simplest solution is to rebuild update-notifier and change the requirement from dunstify to dunst. But I'll have to test how much problems that makes. On one hand, notify-send lacks the desired features of dunstify. On the other hand, having Dunst competing with the local notification daemon is bad.

This package is in the official Manjaro repositories and has been broken for two month, if you do not want to maintain this I can find the time for it, otherwise I think the best idea is to remove it from the Manjaro repositories. I can't get dunst work for me (can't find the display, maybe has problem with Wayland?), then notify-send is my first choice, let me know if you have any advice in order to use dunst.
