2009-03-11 14:47:04 Mirco Müller notify-osd: statusexplanation kerneloops is not using libnotify according to the spec (jaunty one and galago one). Thus I mark this bug-report as invalid. To get examples (in C, C# and Python) and guidelines for how to design the patch to kerneloops to use notifications correctly be sure to check https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NotificationDevelopmentGuidelines https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NotificationDesignGuidelines.
2009-03-11 14:53:11 Matthew Paul Thomas description Binary package hint: notify-osd The notification window from kerneloops is crippled by notify-osd, which means kernel crashes are neither being reported upstream nor being passed to apport for LP filing. Attaching the window when using notification-daemon, and the window when using notify-osd... The notification window from kerneloops is crippled by notify-osd, which means kernel crashes are neither being reported upstream nor being passed to apport for LP filing. The functions that should be available: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/23735662/kerneloops-notify-good.jpg What actually happens: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/23735670/kerneloops-notify-bad.jpg This is a high-importance bug in Notify OSD: as shown in <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NotifyOSD#org.freedesktop.Notifications.Notify>, fallback alert boxes should be showing all the actions that were supplied to the notification, not just two of them. It is also something that should be fixed in kerneloops: As mentioned in <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NotifyOSD#kerneloops>, kerneloops should be using a custom alert box anyway rather than a notification. (This would improve on the fallback alert in that it would no longer have an "OK" button that did nothing exactly like the "Cancel" button.)

Mirco, this is a bug in Notify OSD regardless of whether kerneloops is checking the capabilities correctly. As long as Notify OSD makes kerneloops useless, it'll also be making useless a chunk of the other unknown applications for which Notify OSD has fallback alert boxes in the first place.
