Ubuntu :: Enable Ayatana Notifications In Maveric / Natty?
Apr 26, 2011
I remember that ayatana notifications were included in kubuntu 9.10, but in 10.10 and 11.04 I cant find the setting to enable them anywhere. Is there a package I need to install?
I'm running Natty on a Dell Precision M65 with a NVidia Quadro FX 350M graphics card. My problem is that I see no panels or applications, I'm able to start applications using the run dialog by pressing Alt+F2 and they start, but I can't see them.
Unity -- Fails Gnome Classic -- Fails Gnome Classic (No effects) -- works Unity-2D -- works
Is there a way to enable low disk space notifications in f13. It's very useful sometimes. I couldn't find any obvious way and it has been bugging me for a while.
I just updated MM. When it restarted I got double icons (network indicator) overlaying each other on the menu bar. I removed the icon indicator from the menu bar and now cannot get it back (or just don't know how to get it back). I tried startup apps .. etc...
How do I enable wireless in Natty Narwhal? When I type in "lshw" it tells me: *-network=DISABLEDHow do I enable wireless? I'm going crazy trying to figure it out!Also, My Ubuntu has absolutely no Internet. Not even an Ethernet connection. I'm using my Windows for my Internet right now.
Currently I am trying to update my drivers in 11.04 on a dell inspiron mini. I do not believe it is a pure dell problem, as my regular dell xps running 10.10 has been having to problems updating.
I go into additional drivers and start having it search but it gets stuck and states: Downloading package indexes failed, please check your network status. Most drivers will not be available.
Does this mean the servers are just really busy? Or do I have a problem somewhere on my end?
Chkconfig is a utility to update and query runlevel information for system services. Chkconfig manipulates the numerous symbolic links in /etc/init.d/, to relieve system administrators of some of the drudgery of manually editing the symbolic links.
In Debian, there are several tools with similar functionality, but users coming from other Linux distributions will find the tools in this package more familiar.
Go to Terminal and open it and type the command "chkconfig' press enter. code...
after installing just type "chkconfig" you can see list of service which one is off or on in your system code...
I recently installed Deluge 1.2.0 from the following PPA:[URL]I using this on two different Linux computers. One is running Linux Mint 8 and the other is running Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.10. The first time on either computer when I enable WebUI in the Deluge GUI it works fine. However if I ever disable it in plugins section I am subsequently unable to re-enable it (doesn't appear in the side panel again). Rebooting or reinstalling Deluge seems to have no effect.Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?
I installed Lucid Lynx a week ago and I have a problem with the notifications. The notifications that appear on the screen stay for a long time, about 10 seconds. How to control these notifications so that I can reduce the time?
I recently upgraded from Kubuntu 9.10 to 10.04, and I've noticed that all my KDE notifications now appear at the top of the screen, in the middle. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there an easy way to fix it?
Is there a way to log the notifications that show up in the desktop? For example: a)When pidgin notifies you that you have a new message can you "save" that notification? b)When transmission informs you that a torrent finished downloading can you log that notification?
Or if you can't log them can you make a script that "catches" those notifications? What I want to do is that when a certain notification pops it triggers an app or a script. So if I can log the notifications I can "watch" for changes in the log file and trigger something; or if can "catch" the notification I could also do that. I think it can, somehow, be done with d-bus but I can't find my way around the documentation.
In the previous version of Ubuntu (10.10) I got a notification of updates in the lower Gnome panel.Now I am using 11.04 with Unity. I have not seen a notification of a update since then.How can I get updatenotification for Ubuntu 11.04 with unity?
In ubuntu Natty with the notification pop ups like for when the song changes in Banshee, they are in my top right corner. Is there anyway to move them?
I use pidgin for IRC regularly and am wondering if there is a way for it to show notifications when others talk?
I have "others talk in chat" selected for the sound notifications, but I'd really like it to use the visual notifications (the notification applet?), like it does when I'm chatting with someone over IM. Is that possible?
How can I change the positions for the notifications? It is at a weired place after installing 10.4 and I need to move it. I have been googling about it and it seems like the position is hard coded in the source code, can this really be true? If it is, I am starting to question my decision to use Ubuntu. How can i serous skilled developer hard code something like that in the source code? Can I trust the developer to know what he is doing?
In order to be able to concentrate, I would like to have an applet (or script) to temporarily disable notifications.In the same spirit of Caffeine which inhibits the screensaver when activated.I saw this tip, but would like something which does not require reboot
I can't figure out for my life how to turn off notifications in Pidgin Internet Messenger. I have looked all over in the Preferences menu for a way but can't find anything. It is killing me because every time someone logs in to Facebook or MSN or whatever, I get this popup at the top-right corner of my screen.
When something comes in that gets sent straight to my junk mail folder, a notification STILL pops up... Also of note, I would like to stop notifications for my RSS feeds... I love my RSS feeds but this is ridiculous.
When I receive an instant message from someone and I click on the mail icon and click on their message to open it, their message is multiplied. For instance, if someone says:"Hey, what's up?"
And I click on their message to open it in the messaging menu, this is what will appear: "Hey, what's up? Hey, what's up?"...Take a look at the screenshot to see this in action. This happens in Empathy on Ubuntu 10.10 32-bit.
I've noticed when someone calls attention to my name in xchat or if I get an instant message, I don't get a notification about it unless I happen to go into the dash. Then I see someone highlighted my name or instant messaged me. Is anybody else having this?
I am pretty sure this is an easy fix but I couldn't see anything in the preferences menuI keep getting really stupid notifications at the bottom right of my screen. Things like "click to start dragging"
I installed Lucid Lynx a week ago and I have a problem with the notifications. The notifications that appear on the screen stay for a long time, about 10 seconds. How to control these notifications so that I can reduce the time?
I want to move notifications both from pidgin, rhythmbox and other apps to the lower right side so that they are not so intrusive, I don't know if it's possible.
Does anybody know how I can change the way the icons in my panel react when they need attention? For example if I get an IM, how can I adjust the way the IM box in the task bar acts? I put a new theme in I really like, but my IMs and other windows that would normally flash to show they need attention now do nothing, so I don't know when I get an IM or anything. Is there any way I can tweak that?
The indicator area isn't alerting me of new chat messages or any events (the little grey envelope).I'm using 11.04 with Unity and Pidgin 2.7.11 and I have the Libnotify Popups plugin enabled. I did uninstall Empathy and Evolution but that shouldn't matter according to what I've read.
