There is a configuration option in a GUI...just not the one you looked at. This is really a documentation problem. If someone turned the instructions I'm including here into a FAQ entry or something like that, I don't think there's any application change needed here. It's just really not obvious what to do.
The basic fix is to run gconf-editor and navigate to /apps/rhythmbox/ui where you'll find a checkbox for show_notifications exposed. Toggle that off and notifications go away. Unfortunately, gconf-editor isn't available via the default Ubuntu menu structure either. You can fix that by System/Preferences/Main Menu, going into the System Tools section, and enabling "Configuration Editor". Now gconf-editor will be available with that name under Applications/System Tools. So the all-GUI solution here is to edit the menus, add Configuration Editor, run Configuration Editor, navigate into the Rhythmbox UI section, and turn off show_notifications. Alternately, the quick command-line workaround is to edit .gconf/apps/rhythmbox/ui/%gconf.xml and edit the line that looks like this: <entry name="show_notifications" mtime="1242152894" type="bool" value="true"/> so that the value is "false". That seems to work fine, but you don't have to do that manually and using the official editor tool would presumably be preferred. -- Rhythmbox option to disable notification https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/210872 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
