The normal notifications respect the Do Not Disturb setting, but the full app window does not. Test Case 1 ----------- From Ubuntu Desktop… 1. Add your Google account to GNOME Settings > Online Accounts 2. Add a calendar event to Google Calendar with a notification in advance 3. When it is time for the notification, you should see a GNOME Shell notification. You can click on the notification to see the full Reminders window. Test Case 2 ----------- From Ubuntu Unity 24.04 LTS… 1. Open a terminal and run this command: sudo apt install gnome-online-accounts-gtk 2. Close the terminal 3. Add a calendar event to Google Calendar with a notification in advance 4. When it is time for the notification, you should see a notification pop-up. You can click OK on the notification to see the full Reminders window. What Could Go Wrong ------------------- The ubuntu-settings package is shipped by default with Ubuntu Desktop, Ubuntu Unity, and Edubuntu. Edubuntu is practically the same as Ubuntu Desktop as far as the desktop experience goes with one additional GNOME Shell extension to sort the Show Apps view alphabetically. This is a small default change that can be easily changed (see Revert instructions below). I guess this could go bad if someone counts on getting event notifications even though they have turned on Do Not Disturb. I'm sorry but it is intended that Do Not Disturb not show notifications like this. Other Info ---------- I believe this override was originally added in 2011 for Unity's benefit LP: #757805 It was also helpful for GNOME in early GNOME 3 days with the unusual messaging tray that was later dropped. These days, GNOME Shell notifications work well, better than a separate popup window. Revert to Previous Behavior --------------------------- If you prefer the original Ubuntu 24.04 LTS behavior, do one of the following: 1. Run this in a terminal: gsettings set org.gnome.evolution-data-server.calendar notify-with-tray false 2. Or install Evolution.
