@Mirco, I'm running Karmic. Following your instructions in #12, I got the patch. At the terminal, I issued the command patch -p2 < 16_use- synchronous_notifications.patch from ~/gnome-settings- daemon-2.28.1/debian/patches>. The command failed because it didn't know which file to patch.
My greater concern is that I don't want to screw up my other sound settings. (My webcam microphone required a patch of its own.) I don't see gnome-settings-daemon-2.28 anywhere else on my system. It is all gnome-settings-daemon-2.0. Have you any advice? -- notify-osd won't start (notify-osd:15956): GConf-CRITICAL error https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/351528 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
