[Solved] How to re-enable network notification?

[nanowire]

I installed Linux Mint 12 for the first time yesterday, and I accidentally clicked "Do not show again" on the pop-up notification that you receive at the bottom in the notification area, when you connect to a wireless network.

Now when I wake my laptop up from sleep, I get a notification that I am "Disconnected, I am now offline". (Screenshot - http://i.imgur.com/aComv.jpg ) That pop-up used to go away when the "connected to wireless network" pop-up notification appeared, but since it doesn't now, the disconnected one stays there, even though I'm connected to a wireless network at this point. The only way to get rid of the disconnected pop-up now is to click on it.

Is there a way to re-enable the notification that I disabled? Is there a whitelist / blacklist file for notifications somewhere that I can edit? I've not had any luck in finding it so far.

Do you try network setting? If you don't see an option try use network connection .

Yes, I looked through Network Settings, Network Connection, dconf editor and Advanced Settings (for gnome3). None seem to have options for notifications. I also searched google for about an hour trying to find the config file to manually change as when I clicked "do not show again" it has to save that data somewhere but for the life of me I cannot find where it saved this setting to or how to change it back.

At this point I'd even go with disabling the "Network Disconnected - you are now offline" notification instead, at least it would be consistent that way, but oddly there is no "do not show again" option for this notification, like there was for the other.

Ok, seems I figured this out on my own.

For anyone else interested, gconf-editor was the key.

Install via "sudo apt-get install gconf-editor", then open up gconf-editor (via terminal or in the menu it is called "Configuration Editor") and navigate to "/apps/nm-applet/". From there you can enable or disable the connected/disconnected notifications.

Posting a reply to an old thread, so I apologize, but I've just had the same issue as the OP in Mint 14 XFCE, however, I cannot find the "nm-applet" section in gconf-editor....where must I look in Mint 14 XFCE to re-enable network connection popups?

Thanks!

Hey i had the same problem, and this forum didn't help so I made my own. "anandrkris" helped me:

"Did a quick google search and got this from the github site where Cinnamon issues / codebase is maintained.
https://github.com/linuxmint/Cinnamon/issues/2160 As per the link, the solution is

Open Terminal. Paste each of the below command and hit enter. My understanding is second one pertains your requirement,

Code: Select all

    gsettings set org.gnome.nm-applet disable-connected-notifications false
    gsettings set org.gnome.nm-applet disable-disconnected-notifications false
    gsettings set org.gnome.nm-applet disable-vpn-notifications false

Haven't been on in a long time, but I'm glad I helped in my absence

The `gsettings set` solution worked for me on LinuxMint Cinnamon 18.3.

[studersi]

For me as well on Linux Mint Cinnamon 19.1, thanks.

Hi guys. What you guys are really looking for is dconf-editor. (gconf-editor is long dead, and dconf-editor is its replacement.) To install it, run...

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install dconf-editor

Once installed, open "dconf editor" in your menu. Then go to org/gnome/nm-applet and enable/disable connection/disconnection notifications.
