DnD is ignored on Hera 5.1 about notifications HOT 8 CLOSED

Are you also using the notifications indicator and/or switchboard plug from master? The new notification server doesn't use the old gala settings keys, so it won't be affected by toggling those

makes sense ... altough I just installed switchboard-plug-notifications and wingpanel-indicator-notifications from master. Unfortunately notifications are still shown in DnD and look like this:

Is this also due to missing more dependencies?

FWIW: If it's too troublesome to get this running, I'll happily revert back to the stable packages. What do you think?

Would just have been nice to get the Time Limit app working in DnD as I use it quite often - but it's not mission critical.

@marbetschar I'm not sure what's going on there. It looks like maybe the notification server isn't running and this is some kind of built in fallback with GLib? Can you confirm that io.elementary.notifications is running?

from notifications.

@danrabbit good catch. It's indeed not running - although use-new-notifications is still set to true. I started it manually using io.elementary.notifications & and it logged the following to the Terminal (also tried reboot, no change):

** (io.elementary.notifications:5946): WARNING **: 18:23:25.454: Application.vala:46: Could not aquire bus org.freedesktop.Notifications

I'm using this in NixOS 20.09 pre git with https://github.com/elementary/switchboard-plug-notifications/releases/tag/2.1.6 https://github.com/elementary/wingpanel-indicator-notifications/releases/tag/2.1.4. I can confirm that this is running. I also have the patch in session-settings that overrides use-new-notifications to true.

Doing:

notify-send -u low Hey Hey

I see a notification. The -u low makes it low urgency.

I am using notifications at 22cdbd3.

I have found the bug. It is likely NixOS specific.

The code in wingpanel-indicator-notfications has the recursive boolean set to false https://github.com/elementary/wingpanel-indicator-notifications/blob/d9bff149e1a38ec2aa30522f92bb47b39f19b6a2/src/Indicator.vala#L48.
In NixOS we don't install gsettings-schemas globally, so XDG_DATA_DIRS has multiple entries to /nix/store paths.

Reading the docs

The returned source may actually consist of multiple schema sources from different directories, depending on which directories were given in `XDG_DATA_DIRS` and `GSETTINGS_SCHEMA_DIR`. For this reason, all lookups performed against the default source should probably be done recursively.

By making recursive true, and adding some debug code, I can see clearly that this fixes the issue for me.

Closing since this should be resolved in the notifications indicator
