How to disable notification popups?
Locked
 
|
Hello there,
I've uninstalled xfce4-notifyd and notifications at desktop corners look different, but they still show up. I couldn't find a way to disable them from the settings or I'm blind. Any hint? (I want to disable them 'cause I'm getting a notification popup for every sound that is played, huuu :-/) Regards, -- wwp _______________________________________________ Xfce mailing list [hidden email] https://mail.xfce.org/mailman/listinfo/xfce http://www.xfce.org |

Some programs require a notifyd and, so on is always isntalled by the package manager. Please define what you mean by "notification for every sound that is played".

Yes, GNOME is installed and I used to use it before I switched to Xfce. No 'notify(d)' process is running, and I don't know any gnome notification program that could be running (no gnome-* program involved in notifications or sound is running). > Please define what you mean by "notification for every sound that is > played". That's a very good point: every time skype plays a sound (pulseaudio), every time I run `aplay`. Sound using mplayer or audacious is not doing that. Apart from this I don't have any desktop sound thru Xfce, I don't know if that's normal or not, but it's not the topic here.

And what says the notification? Since this is your real problem (and you don't have it in gnome), we should catch this on. > Regards, Regards _______________________________________________ Xfce mailing list [hidden email] https://mail.xfce.org/mailman/listinfo/xfce http://www.xfce.org |

Therefore is will pop-up each time a channel for ALSA is created in PulseAudio. > > I use xfce4-volumed-pulse and it's quiet as long as I do not adjust volume level ;) In fact I formerly installed xfce4-volumed in order to get notifications when I press the laptop's volume keys. Without this plugin, I don't get these notifications (xfce4-notify doesn't seem to act there because it's using DBUS only and I presume it's normal).
