Bug Description

a notification about system update has appeared, I clicked on closing button in the notification applet, the notification gone, but after nearly 2 or 3 seconds it shows again, and still popping and disappearing and can't stop it.
this is very annoying behaviour
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=346622

TEST CASE:
load muon-notifier
run apt update
if you get lots of notifications it fails
you should still get 1 notification

Reproducible: Didn't try

Actual Results:
The notification disappeared then pops out again after clicking on close button

Expected Results:
The notification should go forever after clicking the close button

after a while, may be 10 minutes the notification disappeared and this behaviour stopped automatically

Thanks for the report.

First of all please always attach the images directly here, never use sites like imgur because then they can expire whenever and then this report would have no image :)

Second, I've noticed this in Kubuntu as well and I think this is a fault in some of their component which keeps emitting the notification.

Harald - which is the component emitting this and where can I look at the code?

Muon.

FWIW I am actually reasonable certain that the problem is muon monitoring some file to notice when there are changes on debian distros and that file gets touched more than once per apt update run, so muon notifies for each file modification.

Yeah I had a similar guess. It can be observed especially during "apt-get update".

I'm looking into this.

ApplicationNotifier.cpp has a watch stampDirWatch which gets called a lot
ApplicationNotifier::distUpgradeEvent could also do with being called less often or checking the notification hasn't already been shown today

they're both called stampDirWatch for some reason

recheckSystemUpdateNeeded is the system release upgrade notification and gets called lots

Well, it's not fixed, it will still be called more times than needed (if it really does happen every now and then while upgrading).

Uploaded 5.2.2-1-0ubuntu4.1 with patch from upstream (it also changes the notification icon to a better one, there's no docs that cover this so this is fine for UI freeze)

The version of muon in the proposed pocket of Vivid that was purported to fix this bug report has been removed because the bugs that were to be fixed by the upload were not verified in a timely (105 days) fashion.
