Not working properly in i3

awelormro opened this issue 2 years ago · 4 comments

The main issue is the fact that is not showing popup notifications in i3, also the sound sometimes is not working, how can I check the way arttime launches the system notifications?

There are two things that can cause notifications to not work on Linux:

notify-send is not installed. Check that by running command -v notify-send. If it doesn't return a valid path, you would first have to install notifiy-send. The name of the package varies by Linux desktop environment.
notify-send is installed but notify-send "Hello world" does not give any notification. In that case, you perhaps don't have a notification daemon running. Search the web on how to install and enable some notification daemon on i3. Here's an example discussion on notification servers on i3wm subreddit.

Thanks! it was a conflict with notify-send old version, now it works well! and it's amazing, but now i have a question about the usage, to invoke it remotely, can I post it here, shall I need to open a new issue or it's still not implemented the remote call?

@awelormro Awesome! you are welcome. Can you please paste a screenshot of how it looks like on i3 with i3 notification/s? Also, it will be nice if you could leave more information on what version of notify-send it is/was, and if you had to do anything special to make it work. For instance: did you have to additionally install any notification daemon like users were discussing on i3wm subreddit?

A new issue would make most sense. Not sure what you mean by invoking it remotely, it would be good to have a new issue with clear description of intended usage.

I'm working with a fork called i3-rounded-gaps, and it works with dunst, I haven' noticed the fact that in this version some notifications aren't working, not only arttime... but when I've reinstalled dunst not only arttime started to work, cannot talk for every user, and also, I use a forked fork and maybe that might break some dependencies, but here you go, here's a notification example :)
