Several users in this thread either don't know C, or don't have the time. So they cannot help & provide this missing functionality, usability/accessibility bug. Call it how you want. The one person who has effectively done something, is scared to even propose his work for inclusion, as (I guess) he feels it would simply be rejected based on "it's not up to our quality standards".
Neither the devs, or the users, are moving towards an acceptable fix, that would require a code change. Would it be difficult to take these 3 packages: ubuntu-desktop, notification-daemon and notify-osd and do the following: ubuntu-desktop depends on "notification-provider" notification-daemon: "provides notification-provider, conflicts or replaces notify-osd" notify-osd: "provides notification-provider, conflicts or replaces notification-daemon" A fresh installation could have notify-osd installed by default, and upgrading users could have the choice of which notification mechanism they want, either during upgrade (if possible), or with a release note. Would this be workable and acceptable ? -- notify-osd doesn't honor my preference https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/346095 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
