Notifications

[Member Ramachandran]

I have installed dunst. Still no notifications at desktop while receiving email or other activities like connecting to wifi etc.

After installing it, test it out first on the terminal
dunst
and see if any errors pop up.
While it is running in the terminal, try to see if a notification pops up.
Not all programs are created to use notification, so it is possible that your network manager doesn’t send notifications. Use a program that you are sure does send notifications (maybe VLC?) to test if dunst is working properly.

I think antiX 19 comes with notify-osd. I don’t know if that interferes with anything, so not sure.
For me, doing
notify-send Test "test"
works.

Hi. Test dunst like Xecure advised above, to see if there’s any problem with it. On my system, a notification warns me when I get any new e-mail in Thunderbird, I haven’t tested it with claws or any other e-mail client. I never noticed any notification when connecting to wi-fi networks… let me test that and get back to you…

P.

Edit: true- it seems that not even running connman with an icon on the system tray notifies the user that the system is connected to a network… But, at least, if you have the icon on the tray, you see it change when you are connected to a network Connman- network settings window > Settings > Check if “Launch to tray by default” and “use status icon” are ticked. {Warning: having the tray icon, of course, costs you a little RAM. If works a like a regular network icon- click it to select an wi-fi network, etc… If you close the icon, you do not close your network connect}

notify-send Test “test” is working. However, no notification on claw mail. Moreover, no notification while connecting to internet.

See what is the name of the process for PID 5120
ps -p 5120 -o comm=
Then you can learn the name of the culprit (and if necessary, uninstall it)

Kill the process 5120 and test dunst again
kill -9 5120

As stated by PPC, connman does not seem to send notifications. If you have the cmst connman icon in the systemtray, you can enable pop-up notices (but they are not notifications per-se), in Preferences, System tary “Enable System Tray Popups” and “System Tray Notifications”.

NB : Notification is not big issue. This is not a necessity for me. I dont want you engage on that issue.

This means that dunst is already running. Si this is not the problem.
Try editing cmst preferences as described above.

Sorry for necroposting, but I found this thread when doing research on these warnings:

I start dunst via ~/.desktop-session/startup and got them in my ~/.desktop-session/current.log when starting an IceWM session.
The cause was that IceWM also uses this shortcut to start app-select, so I decided to disable it in ~/.config/dunst/dunstrc .
I also had to change history = ctrl+grave to history = ctrl+dead_circumflex , as the key “grave” does not exist on my german
keyboard.
