How I can replace **notification-daemon** (ugly notifications at bottom of screen) by
NotifyOSD (modern bubbles in right upper corner) ?
I found some posts about this, but GNOME at default mode don't have Default Provider in
gnome.session (only in fall-back mode).
The information this post provides is related:
How can I make clicking Notify-OSD notifications bring me to their application/message?
The system file (12.04):
file:///usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.freedesktop.Notifications.service
contents are:
[D-BUS Service]
Name=org.freedesktop.Notifications
Exec=/bin/sh -c 'if
[ ! -x /usr/lib/notification-daemon/notification-daemon ] ||
[ "$GDMSESSION" = guest-restricted ] ||
[ "$GDMSESSION" = gnome-classic-guest-restricted ]
[ "$GDMSESSION" = default -a
"$(basename `readlink /etc/alternatives/x-session-manager`)" =
gnome-session ] ||
[ "$GDMSESSION" = ubuntu ] ||
[ "$GDMSESSION" = ubuntu-2d ];
then exec /usr/lib/notify-osd/notify-osd;
else exec /usr/lib/notification-daemon/notification-daemon; fi'
presumably, switching the code segments that are bold will do the switch, but whether the change is actually functional is another matter. (for instance - Do both notification-daemon & notify-osd exist? etc.)
Another crude possibility is to rename the binaries swapping the names of notification-daemon and notify-osd however sometimes there are issues like conflicting dependencies occuring when a binary examines its own name.
I don't like posting hypothetical solutions but this is something I prefer not to try and since there has been no response perhaps this post will invigorate the audience and instigate better answers.
ref:
I use this trick on Ubuntu 13.10: just remove notification-deamon from startup applications:
Show start up services (hidden by default)
cd /etc/xdg/autostart/
sudo sed --in-place 's/NoDisplay=true/NoDisplay=false/g' *.desktop
Open Startup Applications (System Tools -> Preferences -> Startup Applicazions), search for "Notification Deamon" and unable it!
