Intrepid KDE4.2 Notifications Duplicated Three Times

[Félim Whiteley]

I'm not sure what application runs the new notification pop-ups in KDE4.2 on Intrepid. Every notification the displays is triplicated, ie. my Kicker is on top of screen and when a torrent is finished as an example, three boxes stacked one below the other appears to let me know when 1 Torrent has finished. It's happening with any, Network Transfer, Kopete Message. Always 3 messages for what should be one, they are all identical. I'm updated to the latest version that's in Backports right now.

Could you paste the output of apt-cache policy kdebase-workspace please?

[Félim Whiteley (felimwhiteley)]

It appears I don't have one installed, which seems a little odd. I did have upgrade problems as per https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdebase-runtime/+bug/324277 (My comments near end).

kdebase-workspace:
  Installed: (none)

If it's of use:

aptitude show kdebase-workspace-bin

Package: kdebase-workspace-bin
New: yes
State: installed
Automatically installed: yes
Version: 4:4.2.0-0ubuntu7~intrepid1

It's working properly now, ran an full-upgrade. kdebase-workspace still seems to not be installed, but I got 25 updates (pasted below) earlier and one of them fixed it. The -bin version seems the same too, so obviously one of the other packages.

kdebase-workspace-bin:
  Installed: 4:4.2.0-0ubuntu7~intrepid1
  Candidate: 4:4.2.0-0ubuntu7~intrepid1
  Version table:

Will install 25 packages, and remove 0 packages.

Yeah, this bug was supposed to be fixed in that upload. I just needed to make sure you had that version before worrying whether or not it was really fixed. :-)
Thanks.
