Bug ID: 381693
Summary: org.kde.plasma.Notifications.service conflicts with
org.xfce.xfce4-notifyd.Notifications.service
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.10.0
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
Reporter: dar...@darose.net
CC: bhus...@gmail.com, plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: 1.0
I run XFCE as my DE, and use xfce4-notifyd for notifications. However, I also
keep most of the KDE packages installed, as I often use several KDE apps.
The recent upgrade of the plasma-workspace package (from v5.9.5.1 to v5.10.0)
broke notification on my system. The cause seems to be the inclusion of the
new dbus org.kde.plasma.Notifications.service file. The presence of that new
file causes dbus to try to perform notifications using plasma (even though I
don't have plasma running) rather than using xfce4-notifyd and so all
notifications are failing / timing out.
There doesn't seem to be any fix for this other than either removing the
plasma-workspace package - and half of KDE along with it, due to dependencies -
or hand-editing the file to comment out its contents so that it won't get
called by dbus for notifications. I chose the 2nd option for now, but neither
option is really a proper fix.
Since that new org.kde.plasma.Notifications.service is what caused the
breakage, I'd think that a proper fix might require some re-thinking about the
use of that file, and how to make it work properly when other DE's are present
and/or running.
