Ideally, you use the bindings for your language which is likely to be 
the gobject automatic bindings.


But if you really want the C reference, then install libnotify-devel and 
point a browser at /usr/share/gtk-doc/html/libnotify


If you need examples, then here is a python example use the gi repository:

import gi
gi.require_version('Notify', '0.7')
from gi.repository import Notify
Notify.init("TestApp")
n = Notify.Notification(summary="summary", body="My Notification")
n.show()

And a straight C example:

#include 



int main() {

   notify_init("TestApp");

   NotifyNotification *n = notify_notification_new("summary", "My 
Notification", NULL);


   GError *error = NULL;

   notify_notification_show(n, &error);

}


Awesome!  Thank you!

Hi Stan,


Why did you throw --expire on the above command?

-e, --expire
   This is a quick way to expire a password for an
   account. The user will be forced to change the
   password during the next login attempt.  Available
   to root only.



If the account has been locked, and never used, there is probably no
password.  This ensures that the root user, gets to set the password
that they want.  In fact, they can't access the root account without
setting a new password.  This doesn't apply to installs that already
have an active root user (older installs).  The new installs, from what
I understand, do not set up a root account password as part of the
install process. Everyone is supposed to use sudo, for its apparently
increased security, or convenience, or lack of confusion, etc.  As I
said, I have only read about this, and haven't experienced it, so am
not aware of the actual state of the root account when that occurs.
Samuel has said the account always exists, so I assume that it must be
locked if a login wasn't created during the install.


Okay, I understand now.  I thought your command both
unlocked and set the password.  And I thought there
was some reason you were messing with the guy making
him change it the next log in.


You can't actually run that command ("test" is a newly created user, so 
in the same state as "root" would be):


# passwd --unlock --expire test

passwd: Only one of -l, -u, -d, -S may be specified.

Also:

# passwd --unlock test

Unlocking password for user test.

passwd: Warning: unlocked password would be empty.

passwd: Unsafe operation (use -f to force)

The only thing you have to do is "passwd root" to set a password.  It's 
not locked and there's no point in expiring the password to an account 
you're using yourself...

Re: Monitor speakers change which "device" they are

Or, at all.  Occasionally my system doesn't find any audio hardware.

Many of us are in this "which card?" boat, because of modern hardware
being quite different from ye olde.  There's the on-board sound, which
may or may not have anything plugged into it (mine doesn't).  A HDMI
video monitor which may support sound (mine does).  And we may (I do)
have some USB audio hardware plugged in.  While I could disable the on-
board sound (assuming that a UEFI option really disables it and the OS
doesn't find it again), I can't disable the HDMI audio and it is useful
to be able to manually select it, some times.

Somehow it's supposed to determine which one to use.  And we'd hope
that once we've set a preference in our login account (e.g. using
whatever pulseaudio volume control app applies, in my case I'm using
"mate-volume-control") it would stick.

Ideally, these volume control apps need improving so that they clearly
identify hardware precisely (not configure things to use the first
found device method, when *we* know that's not a fixed answer), and
write the config in such a place that it's paid attention to.

I've had a look at the link in your next message:
https://alsa.opensrc.org/MultipleCards  But I may as well be reading
NASA specs on the space shuttle, there's a presumption of prior
knowledge.

You should use "ps ax -f" to show what all those libexec's are doing. KDE
has
krfb.  A kde forum might be more helpful.

I think this is a consequence of parallel boot.  The order in which
devices are discovered is non-deterministic.

I would guess that these monitors have the same sound hardware?  Use
aplay -l
to check if there are two identical devices available.  It sounds (heh)
like pipewire is just using the device that ends up in whatever slot it
considers default.

Not sure how video works, probably it is discriminating based on the
connection.  But audio is determined by alsa as it discovers sound
devices.  It has been a long time since I investigated this, but I
think it is still possible to assign specific slots to devices using a
script in /etc/modprobe.d.  Something like the one at this link:
https://gist.github.com/andering/801eb7fe79520036dff4a90340fac7f6
Unfortunately, my experience has been that the audio hardware on
graphics devices tend to ignore this because the video starts before
the other audio devices, and so always gets slot 0, the default sound
device position.  But, you can try assigning names to the devices as
the above file demonstrates, and then assigning them positions, and
then setting that position as default.  Since your competing audio
devices are both graphics device based, it might work.  And it almost
surely will work if the audio hardware on the graphics device is
different for each video device.

Check the layout when it is good, and when it flips, and assign your
names to the devices based on that.  Then, you can only try and see if
it works.

You might have to go down the rabbit hole to investigate further if
this is irritating enough to you.  e.g. ask on the alsa mailing list,
web searches for people who have this exact problem and solved it, etc.

Monitor speakers change which "device" they are

[Chris Adams]

I have a notebook (AMD chips) connected to a hub (via USB-C), with two
monitors hooked up to the hub (via HDMI).  The monitors have built-in
speakers, and I use one monitor's speakers for default audio.  I'm
running Fedora 35 MATE desktop (with Pipewire).  The problem is that
which monitor's speakers are which flips around.

Right now, the main monitor is "Renoir Radeon High Definition Audio
Controller HDMI / DisplayPort 1 Output" and the second monitor is
" 4 Output".  After a suspend/resume cycle though, they randomly
swap, so I have to go into Sound Preferences and change the default
output device.

The video side always keeps the correct monitor mapped as the correct
part of the display layout, so it seems either there's a unique ID or
something that keeps them in the right order.  Is there something
similar to keep it right for audio?

The bugs were probably fixed "years ago".  Enough time has passed to
to allow newcomers to make the mistake again.  Sudo can be what lawyers
call an "attractive nuisance".

Re: Wifi Device Last Used Message From Network Manager - What Does the Message Mean?

It means what it says. If you are connected to Wi-Fi, it will display 
last used Now, disconnect and it will instead say last used 1 minute ago.
