Getting started on Ubuntu 16.04

[orschiro]

Dear @jml,

Thank you so much for this excellent project!

I installed undistract-me as follows:

sudo apt install undistract-me.

It installed the following version:

ii  undistract-me                                        0.1.0+git20130402+3a9144bc1f-1                              all          Notifies user when long-running terminal commands complete via libnotify

However, I am not receiving any notification on commands that take longer than 10 seconds.

What else do I need to configure?

Thankfully,

-Robert

Hi!

You need to either log out & log in again, or you need to run:

. /etc/profile.d/undistract-me.sh

In your shell.

jml

Thank you!

So I tried the following as a test:

orschiro@x230:~$ . /etc/profile.d/undistract-me.sh
orschiro@x230:~$ sleep 15s

However, it does not produce any notification either. Shouldn't the sleep command of 15 seconds produce one?

Warmly,

-Robert

[jml]

It should. Are you using bash?

Yes, I am using the default Bash of Ubuntu 16.04.

Confirm that after installation script doesn't work. But after adding line below to .bashrc I get notifications. source /etc/profile.d/undistract-me.sh

system:

DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=16.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=xenial
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS"

bash: 4.3-14ubuntu1.2;
terminal: terminator;

Hello again,

It's been a while. Now testing undistract-me on Ubuntu MATE 17.10 Alpha 2.

I think the README is outdated. It says:

Then run a login shell: start a whole new Gnome Terminal, run bash --login or log out then log in again.

Tried exactly this after installing undistract-me from the Ubuntu repos but it's not working.

Did something change or shall we add @fotonmoton suggestion to the README.

[jml]

Nothing has changed in undistract-me. It's possible that the mechanism the package uses to install it as something that is sourced by everyone's bashrc no longer works.

No objections to adding @fotonmoton's suggestion to README.

[orschiro]

See https://github.com/jml/undistract-me/pull/46.

Huge thanks to @photonmoton. I confirm that their solution worked great. I added: source /etc/profile.d/undistract-me.sh into the end of my .profile and ran: $ . ~/.profile and the apt update command worked notified me properly. Also for the record I am using Ubuntu 18.04LTS on a MacBook 2009.
