Downstream report is missing...

Is this with a new install of Ubuntu or after a round of updates?

netpipe commented 6 years ago

after a little more checking i tried under another user account it worked fine, thought it might be some of the startup scripts i disabled but i double checked those. the weird part is the volume applet shows the volume notify window when logging in.

mate or gnome-session-inhibit is the cause, when i have this running to prevent my computer from sleeping it causes notifications to notwork

lukefromdc commented 6 years ago

Do you mean commandline mate-session-inhibit (or gnome-session-inhibit) and not the panel inhibit applet?

I just found that the inhibit applet on the panel does not cause any problems with notifications whether toggled on or off on my system. I have MATE 1.21 from git master on Debian Unstable with locally built GTK 3.23.1 and GLIB 2.57.1.

yes "mate-session-inhibit --inhibit suspend gedit" or any of the --inhibit params do it aswell

lukefromdc commented 6 years ago

I just ran "mate-session-inhibit --inhibit suspend gedit" and gedit came up fine, then opened mate-control-center and previewed the popup notifications. On my system, they still worked fine. Wonder what is different-one or more underlying libs maybe?

hmmm, not sure why but its working good for me now too, maybe i had other instance running. thanks again for the help.
