Title: Please use a dialog instead of libnotify for hard disk failure warnings Status in GNOME Disks: Expired Status in “gnome-disk-utility” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: When gnome-disk-utility detects a failing hard drive, it uses libnotify to warn the user. It assumes that the notification will look and behave like one of notification-daemon's notifications: a simple, unobtrusive popup with a single action button that says Examine. With notify-osd, this is not the case. Instead, we get one of notify-osd's fallback alert dialogs, and many of these dialogs appear at once (stacked on each other). This is not optimal. Instead, gnome-disk-utility should display its own dialog box. --- Architecture: amd64 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.04 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 11.04 "Natty Narwhal" - Release amd64 (20110427.1) NonfreeKernelModules: fglrx Package: gnome-disk-utility 2.32.1-0ubuntu4 PackageArchitecture: amd64 ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE=en_CA:en LANG=en_CA.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/zsh ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.38-10.44-generic 2.6.38.7 Tags: natty running-unity Uname: Linux 2.6.38-10-generic x86_64 UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) UserGroups: adm admin cdrom dialout lpadmin plugdev sambashare To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-disk-utility/+bug/807797/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
