[SOLVED] Stopping Low Disc Space Warning

[snowflake]

Hi
My partitions are always near full, its really no big deal & i don’t like to be alerted about it, im used to xfce i dont get the warning there
so is there a way to getting Mate to stop alerting me about the low space in my partitions?
Thanks a lot.

I don't want any notifications at all. So what I did was

# chmod 644 /usr/lib/mate-notification-daemon/mate-notification-daemon

That may be too extreme for you, but you can always change the perms back

hey, thank you for replying, I was starting to think no one cares
I think that did do something, probably stopped all "pop up" notifications? ..,however it didn’t stop this thing:

How about ticking the box on that warning?

I did, I do , its the only thing I can do; but it only stops for that session, everytime I log in, i get 4 or 5 similar messages, i click "ignore" 5 times & "tick" the box.
.. thats fine, but i'd rather not have to

This should do it, run this in a terminal window:

Code: Select all

dconf write /org/mate/settings-daemon/plugins/housekeeping/active 'false'
dconf write /org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/housekeeping/active 'false'

Code: Select all

dconf write /org/mate/settings-daemon/plugins/housekeeping/active 'false'
dconf write /org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/housekeeping/active 'false'

That did the trick, thank you very much!

You're welcome. If you want to undo what you did above when disabling the entire notifications-daemon, run this (this won't affect the fix I gave you.):

Code: Select all

sudo chmod +x /usr/lib/mate-notification-daemon/mate-notification-daemon

Most notifications are quite useful to receive IMHO.
