Notification settings apply, but have no effect #61

Closed Pommaq closed 4 years ago

Pommaq commented 5 years ago

As mentioned. Modifying the settings for notification popups shows no visible changes, but running xfconf-query -vc xfce4-notifyd -m and then changing settings shows that they are indeed applied. I have opened a similar issue some time ago, #30. I'm currently investigating what causes this issue.

Alright, so the settings are overridden by Gala, which is for now an intended feature. As such I'll be looking for a way to remove the notifications setting from the settings menu. One method is to append Hidden=true to /usr/share/applications/xfce4-notifyd-config.desktop. Ofcourse, a cleaner method would be to simply remove it altogether, but I'm not sure if that removes the notifyd daemon aswell

Tried removing xfce4-notifyd and rebooting on a virtual machine. The notifications appear to still function as they usually do. So removing xfce4-notifyd is a viable (and possibly cleaner) option

Great, thanks for investigating that - will add this to the next release

to solve bug it is not necessary to remove xfce4-notifyd

only do this:

reinstall with synaptic xfce4-notifyd and reboot

solve also this bug: https://github.com/nick92/Enso-OS/issues/38
