Budgie-Desktop Doesn't Display dbus Notifications about budgie-desktop HOT 10 CLOSED

Can I be a pain.. can you confirm whether notify-osd works properly? I've not got it here on Fedora

from budgie-desktop.

Notify-OSD works on openSUSE but it insists on replacing notification-daemon

O. Naughty.. OK I wonder what we can do about interactive notifications.. Apart from not a lot.
Short of forking notify-osd ( >_< )

My advice is to follow three guidelines:
1 - keep it simple
2 - make it visible
3 - Keep it unobtrusive

Sure enough, we can only try :)

Ikey, how is this for an idea?

For sh**s and giggles I'm implementing something that looks somewhat like this into a panel applet. From there we can take the code wherever and merge it into pretty much whatever, if what gets implemented isn't what's desired overall.

I'll note that I currently don't plan on implementing active notifications because most applications don't use them - Canonical took them out of the mainstream when they made notify-osd and while the Freedesktop standard technically still allows "action" fields to be passed back and forth, they expressly make it optional for the server end. Source: https://developer.gnome.org/notification-spec/

Implementing an active popup will be on the to-do list eventually, but for a basic implementation I won't personally be stressing if I can't make it happen.

In the meantime, running a DBus server in Vala seems to be more rocket science than I can handle this late at night. My best guess is that something in GNOME's libs is already using the org.freedesktop.Notifications name and it's causing the on_name_lost callback to get fired, but of course there's no utility to actually find out if that's a valid concern... </rant from a guy who prefers simple systems>

Oh. Alright. Not trying to write DBus applications in Tmux helps. We have a DBus connection, folks!

Hah, we all good there @iv597 ? :P

Closing as we implemented this (thanks again @iv597 :))
