Bug ID: 429656
Summary: WSL2: Custom icons break notification and cause it to
say "SnoreToast // New Notification" without the real
title or message content [specifically in linux
filesystem, works fine in mounted volumes]
Product: Snoretoast
Version: unspecified
Platform: Microsoft Windows
OS: Microsoft Windows
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: vonr...@kde.org
Reporter: k...@jakedowns.com
Target Milestone: ---
Created attachment 133651
--> https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=133651&action=edit
top notification, with no p flag, bottom notification WITH p flag, both
triggered from wsl2 linux filesystem
SUMMARY
Hello, I believe I've discovered an issue with SnoreToast when executing it
within a WSL2 context.
Specifically, if the "-p" flag is used, the notification simply says
"SnoreToast//New Notification" rather than the text sent with the "-t" and "-m"
flags
if it is executed with a WSL mounted volume (i.e. /mnt/c) it works fine
however if it is executed directly within WSL's Linux Filesystem (i.e. /root/)
the issue is exhibited.
note: dropping the "-p" flag allows the text to be rendered fine from the linux
fs
i've outlined some additional info here:
https://github.com/mikaelbr/node-notifier/issues/354#issuecomment-733912802
fwiw, I am running Ubuntu-18.04 in my WSL2 context
please let me know if there is anything I can do to help resolve this issue,
thank you
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. install Ubuntu-18.04 in WSL 2 within Windows
2. try and trigger a notification from within /root/ directory (with and
without -p flag, observe results)
3. try and trigger a notification from within /mnt/c/ directory (with and
without -p flag, observe results)
OBSERVED RESULT
No icon or small default icon
title overrides / defaults to: Snore Toast
message overrides / defaults to: New Notification
No error message is given as to why the notification failed to handle the
provided image
EXPECTED RESULT
at least an error message as to why the image couldn't be loaded
at best, ability to handle images from within the linux filesystem the same way
they work from the /mnt/ mounted volumes
