I just installed Unity Tweak Tool but haven't been able to use it due to the error it keeps giving, which is: com.canonical.notify-osd

I tried looking it up but haven't come up with anything so far. How can I fix this issue?

Go to a terminal by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T and type the following commands:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall notify-osd
sudo apt-get install --reinstall overlay-scrollbar

This will install 2 packages if you don't have them or re-install them if already present and broken.

Simply updating the notify-osd may lead to you getting an additional error The following Schema is missing: com.canonical.desktop.interface.

The solution to this should be to:

sudo apt-get install unity-webapps-service

Though the background to this could be dependency issues. If so the command line could give a suggestion like try:

apt-get -f install

in which case you will want to:

sudo apt-get -f install

and this could well resolve the issue.
