Bug ID: 364361 Summary: impossible to replace plasma notifications by another notification daemon Product: frameworks-knotifications Version: unspecified Platform: Debian unstable OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: general Assignee: mklape...@kde.org Reporter: cedric.boutill...@gmail.com CC: kdelibs-b...@kde.org I use an up to date Debian unstable, which has plasma-workspace 5.6.4. I would like in my KDE environment to have notifications displayed by the notification daemon 'dunst' http://www.knopwob.org/dunst/ Disabling notifications from the systray is not enough to stop KDE notification daemon, Notifications are not displayed any more, but seem still caught by the KDE notification daemon. Trying to run dunst from the command line gives then: $dunst Name Lost. Is Another notification daemon running? I try to run dunst early, but when the desktop opens, there is no 'dunst' process anymore. I have a similar output when I try to use notify-osd: $ /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/notify-osd ** (notify-osd:2893): WARNING **: Another instance has already registered org.freedesktop.Notifications ** (notify-osd:2893): WARNING **: Could not register instance For the moment, the only way I found to make work another notification daemon is to comment out (most of) the source code in the NotificationsEngine constructor and NotificationsEngine::registerDBusService() in the file dataengines/notifications/notificationsengine.cpp of plasma-workspace and rebuild the package. Reproducible: Always Actual Results: either notifications are displayed as plasma popups, or not displayed at all. Expected Results: I would like an option to disable completely KDE notification daemon (and unregister it from dbus). Maybe there is a dbus magic invokation to do that? An option in the notification dialog from systray would be great. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
