Re: [xmonad] Question about desktop notifications

Ah I think you're right. It's probably being sent by qutebrowser. I will install dunst and see how that goes. Thanks! —AC On Jul 11 09:00AM, Brandon Allbery wrote:

Are you sure that's a standard notification? Some programs (notably browsers, but I've seen a few other programs do their own as well) do their own notifications especially if no notification service is running.

If you want standard notifications back, dunst (https://dunst-project.org/) is a common alternative to the ones provided by full desktop managers.

I've recently started running xmonad on Arch Linux, with no desktop environment, and can't seem to figure out how the desktop notifications are being generated. - Here's a link to a snapshot, to show what my notifications currently look like: https://imgur.com/a/dLMbj3w - Running `notify-send 'Hello world!' 'This is an example notification.'` yields the error `GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.Notifications was not provided by any .service files`.

Can anyone shed some light on this mystery?
