Pidgin was running beautifully with notify-osd until recently i've decided to try AWN-notification-daemon ... didn't like it, so simply disabled it .. now notify-osd is not working at all with pidgin... it works with other applications , but not pidgin..
the pidgin-libnotify plugin is checked and working.. I've reinstalled notify-osd and notify-osd icons package .. but still.
I'm trying to get notify send to display time as I've done in the past on 10.04.
Here is my script:
Code:
Can't get it to work in 10.10
I've been using Ubuntu 11.04 for a couple of weeks now, and I can't seem to get notify-send to work correctly (yes, I did install libnotify-bin)
Yesterday, I reinstalled Ubuntu 11.04 and the first thing I did was install libnotify-bin to try notify-send on a fresh install.
It worked fine after the reinstallation until I did sudo apt-get upgrade. Immediately after the updates finished, I tried notify-send again and it failed to display a notification.
No error messages, command exits correctly, no indication of anything going wrong except no notification pops up.
I'm on a lenovo thinkpad t420, 64bit ubuntu.
I have a script running from a hotkey,it tries to do this:
Code:
DISPLAY=:0.0; notify-send "hi there"
this worked okay in Lucid (Ubuntu 10.04), but doesn't work in Maverick 10.10 I have also tried:
Code:
DISPLAY=:0 notify-send "hi there"
to no avail.
I have Ubuntu 9.04. I've installed Skype on it, and I have pidgin 2.5.5. I downloaded and installed the skype4pidgin plugin, and I've restarted Pidgin, I've restarted Skype, I've restarted the entire computer, and still Skype is not appearing in the available Accounts Type list when I go to add a new account.

I've noticed that the pidgin musictracker plugin does not work with rhythmbox in Fedora 15. I tried using Audacious and it sets the "Now Listening" status correctly, but rhythmbox doesn't work anymore.

The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: pidgin: Depends: libpurple0 (>= 1:2.6.0) but it is not going to be installed Depends: perl (>= 5.10.0-19ubuntu1.1) but 5.10.0-19ubuntu1 is to be installed E: Broken packages
I have been an OpenSuse 11.2 user since the past 8 months. Recently I had a issue with the operating system and therefore had to re-install the OS again. However, since the fresh install, I have not been able to capture any sound from my laptop's microphone. This is weird because it used to work fine with OpenSuse 11.2 before I had to re-install the same OS again. Additionally I can assure that there are no issues with the hardware since it works fine with Windows 7. I have tried almost everything, but in vain.
View 9 Replies View RelatedFor what it is worth 2 hard drives have Kubuntu 8.04 and the 3rd has Mandriva Spring 2008. Tuesday was the last time I had used Pidgin and everything was fine. Wednesday when I booted the computer I noticed that the Pidgin icon in the sys tray looks broken. I click on it and it shows "Pidgin is available" "connecting" and that's it. The buddy list is empty. Went to my other Kubuntu hard drive, same thing, went to my Mandriva hard drive same thing. Installed Kopete on this hard drive and it shows no one available.
I did a search here before posting and found nothing.
Previously after doing aptitude upgrade, my pidgin seems broken with no gui shown. So I decided to download the latest source from pidgin website and build it from source, but I think I made situation worse because it then complained that ssl lib was needed. Then I removed the libpurple (e.g. aptitude purge libpurple0 libpurple-bin libpurple-dev) and reinstalled pidgin (aptitude install pidgin). Now it shows the error
pidgin: symbol lookup error: pidgin: undefined symbol: purple_media_element_info_get_type
I searched on the internet and can not find a solution. The clues on the internet says that's because the piding I use is the older version of libpurple. But I think I've removed all with purge and reinstalled it. Maybe some legacy binary is referenced. What or where it might be? Or where there may contain related information.
Notify-osd is one of my favorite things about ubuntu but the pop ups last _WAY TOO LONG_. I've been googling for an hour and can't find any way to change it. Is this true? This is literally a big enough deal that I might just un-install it. But, that would be terrible because I think it's a fantastic app if it didn't sit there for five god damn minutes telling me about messages I read five minutes ago...
No, not literally five minutes, so don't respond saying "There's no way its five minutes" or "if it lasts that long something's wrong with your computer". If I really can't change the timing then that's an awful call on the part of the programmers who made it. Who the hell wants an app that can't be adjusted in any way?
I was hoping to have a pop up come up after my rssdler completes, I was hoping for the nice pop ups that Ubuntu for brightness, audio volume, instant messages ect, i think it's called notify but i'm still figuring things out. Is there a way i can write this into my rssdler start up script? or any other script i'm writing?
View 5 Replies View RelatedNo matter what I try, notifications do not appear. The notify-osd program is running (if I check ps) and nothing ever reports an error. I just don't see it, or hear it (does it make a sound?)
I think this might be because of my dual screen setup. I have two screens set up, with the screen on the right lower than the screen on the left so that they match up in real life.
This leaves a dead space above the right hand screen, perhaps its appearing in there? But I have already used notification-preferences to move it to the left (does that even work?) and still nothing. What's up? I rely on notifications to tell me that something's up, since the new "notification area" plugin does not flash and is thus utterly useless on this large screen display (design failure)
I use Ubuntu 9.10 for one of my MythTV frontends, which have a plasma screen connected using VGA as display :0.0 and a projector connected using HDMI as display :0.1.How do I send notifications using notify-send to the projector? The following doesn't work, i.e. it still displays on the plasma screen:Code:DISPLAY=:0.1 ; notify-send "This will still display on :0.0"

View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to change the location that notify OSD uses when it displays a new notification? I have some large dual monitors at work which is great, but I typically do browsing/development work on the left display and leave email and other less used things on the right display. Because notifications are displayed on the right monitor, I often miss the notifications because there are outside of my peripheral vision. I generally notice them within a minute or two because the mail icon in the panel is blue instead of black, but I would rather get the notifications as they occur.
When running 10.10 there was no panel at the top of the right monitor, so all notifications showed up on my left monitor. Since I upgraded to 11.04, Unity seems to display a panel on both monitors and thus, all notifications wind up on the right monitor. I would like them to appear on the left monitor instead.
See attached screenshot for more info. Sorry it's not the best quality -- but the idea is that I ran notify-send "test" in the terminal and you can see the bubble on the right monitor instead of the left one.
So...can the location of the notify OSD be controlled somewhere?
Does anyone know what this program does and how to remove it? I did a complete removal of evolution, and deleted the .evolution folder yet this job still runs. How do I remove it to get a clean install?

I've been having some trouble with the notifications on 10.04.Networking and volume popups are visible, but messages from Banshee or empathy aren't showing.
I tried the command notify-send in the terminal, but it showed nothing, unless when doing it as root.
fix or a setting to tweak in order to get full notifications back?
I don't know exactly how it started. It was working pretty well.Before I notice the OSD was messed up, I had disabled Compiz (to test some game) and I've been goofing around with the Awn Dock, moving it around the corners of the screen. Not sure what caused it to bug. I've tried restarting the machine, "sudo apt-get remove notify-osd" and "apt-get install..",I've tried changing system fonts..
What should I do to 'reset' it, or something?I'll be trying to fix it on my own over here. I'll post back if I get any luck at it.Completely disabling Compiz (Desktop Effects OFF) renders this:Doesn't look right.The first picture was taken with Compiz enabled.
The notifier does not work under LXDE in fedora 15. It does not output anything through notify-send or any other program which uses notifications.
