Re: How to setup notify-osd

I am using wheezy and gnome 3.

I just did a little research on google that I think this is somewhat related to dbus?

(althought I don't know what it does. but the output there has a line contains dbus_create_service_instance? )

This is the related bug report:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=640120

However at the end it said it is fixed in version 0.9.32.

But I have the version:

notify-osd:

Installed: 0.9.34-2

Candidate: 0.9.34-2

Do I need to modify the file in here?

/etc/xdg/autostart/notify-osd.desktop

[Desktop Entry]

Name=Notify OSD

Comment=Display notifications

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

Terminal=false

Type=Application

_OnlyShowIn_=LXDE;OPENBOX;GNOME;XFCE;

X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=false

Sorry for didn't provide much information. I was just frustrated to find the solution:(

You give us *full* information, like what version of debian? What
command did you run to try to start the daemon? How did you remove
'notification-daemon'? Which version of Gnome?
