[HowTo] Install and activate Notify-osd in Mate (LM14)

[le hollandais volant]

Hi all !

When installing the package "ubuntu" « notify-osd », it does not apply automatically (the mate notification daemon remains), but it works when you launch it by manually.

Here is to make it as default.

First install Notify-Osd :

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install notify-osd

Edit the file /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.freedesktop.mate.Notifications.service

Code: Select all

sudo pluma /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.freedesktop.mate.Notifications.service

Replace the line

Code: Select all

Exec=/usr/lib/mate-notification-daemon/mate-notification-daemon

By :

Code: Select all

Exec=/usr/lib/notify-osd/notify-osd

It may be safe to comment the old line and add the new line. The content of the file would be :

Code: Select all

[D-BUS Service]
Name=org.freedesktop.Notifications
Exec=/usr/lib/notify-osd/notify-osd
#Exec=/usr/lib/mate-notification-daemon/mate-notification-daemon

Log-out and log in to apply.
You can test if it works by running :

Code: Select all
