Cannot change from Ayatana notifications to standard kde notifications in KDE SC 4.4 beta 1

[Jonathan Jesse]

Binary package hint: kdebase-workspace

In a fresh install of Kubuntu 9.10 I enabled the Ayatana notification system and have since updated to the newest beta following the instructions on kubuntu.org.
Now there is not a way, that I can see to change back to normal kde notifications. I am getting som weird notifications related things I think because of this

[Jonathan Thomas (echidnaman)]

One thing you could try is removing/adding a new system tray plasmoid. A workaround at best, but...

[Aurélien Gâteau (agateau)]

Did you check the "Application notifications" checkbox in systemtray settings?

[Jonathan Jesse (jjesse)]

Had no idea what checkbox actually meant, it is currently checked, does that
mean I am using the KDE notification System or Ayatana? Confused on what
means.

Also my notifications seem to be incomplete, example being Kopete
notifications no longer show the person who is sending me the chat message
(the picture) and has blank space around it

correction on the last comment, II see the picture but not the username any
more. Don't know if that is a problem with kopete or a problem with the
notification system

As far as I know Ayatana notification patch has not been and will not be applied to KDE 4.4 beta packages. If the checkbox is checked you should get Plasma notifications, if it is not checked you should get knotify old-school notifications (grey box with a 2 pixels black border)

About Kopete notifications, this might be related to Kopete itself.

You might want to do more testing with notify-send (from libnotify-bin package), a command line tool to create notifications:

notify-send -i kde Hello "This is a text"

should show a notification with a KDE logo, "Hello" as a title and "This is a text" as a body

ok i do not get a KDE logo, but everything works correctly. where does that
leave me?

Well, I like Ayatana too, and after upgrade, the Ayatana option in notification configs are gone... I've seached around and found this:
-- http://people.canonical.com/~agateau/plasma-ayatana-notifications/
And now I've got my cool notifications from Ayatana back!

Hope it helps :) (and sorry for my bad English)

When using Plasma notifications, the KDE logo looks quite small: it
should be in the "title" bar, not where Kopete avatar is supposed to
show. Can you check again you don't see it?

The experimental .so from this page is a patched version of KDE 4.3
systemtray applet. I would advice against using it. In the long time you
 should use Colibri [1] instead. It should be part of Lucid at some
point (crossing fingers :))

Is this still valid?

[Scott Kitterman (kitterman)]

Since this only relates to a karmic patch I think it's wontfix at this point.

[Aurélien Gâteau (agateau)]

Agreed
