Ok, I figured it out, copy the patch text, save as "patch". download source, https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libnotify , un-archive the source, put "patch" in the source folder, patch with `patch -p1 < patch` in terminal in the folder, then
`./configure` `make` `sudo make install` If that is too complipacated, someone at IZX at AskUbuntu made a ppa with the patch applied: http://askubuntu.com/questions/161851/how-do-i -use-notify-send-to-immediately-replace-an-existing-notification -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/257135 Title: notify-send(1) can't replace an existing notification To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libnotify/+bug/257135/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
