No notification on volume/brightness change with tango icon theme

[Tim Fuchs]

Binary package hint: notify-osd

I am using the tango icon theme and when I change brightness or sound volume no notification shows up.

There used to be a notification window in the middle of the screen that was provided by some gnome application but now just nothing is shown.

When the new notify-osd fails shouldn't there be the old display at least?

Hi thanks for the bug report.

Can you detail the versions of notify-osd and gnome-power-manager you're using?

The expected behavior if that if an incompatible version of the notification daemon (notify-osd or notification-daemon) is running, gpm will fallback to displaying the old feedback icon at the center of the screen.

Are you seeing a black notification bubble without icon? or neither a black notification nor the old feedback icon?

I think this is a dupe of bug 338837, can you look and see if you agree?

Perhaps this was fixed when bug 338837 was fixed?

After the last update of notify-osd the volume notification started working, but brightness still doesn't show up.

versions are:
notify-osd 0.9.5-0ubuntu1
g-p-m 2.24.2-2ubuntu6

... the latest versions available right now

And I'm not getting an empty black bubble, I'm getting no notification whatsoever.

The brightness and volume are separate issues. I've duped this to the volume issue, and the brightness bug which isn't fixed yet but has a workaround is bug 344385.
