Dunst Notification Daemon

#1 Post by OscarTalks »

Recent Woof-CE Puppies have this Dunst desktop notification daemon included and it is running as a daemon.
https://dunst-project.org

I have compiled version 1.4.1 in Bionic, Stretch and Xenial which is newer that the ones included and offers some improvements in performance and appearance. I have also made some enhancements to the configuration file at /root/.config/dunst/dunstrc including icon paths and rounded corners, but users can make alterations to this as desired anyway. I have enabled the Dunst startup message so it announces itself.

These small .pet packages are uploaded to:-

Restart X after installation.

I was wondering though, do people find this useful and have people seen it actually do very much? It does provide some notifications from DeaDBeeF and Transmission but these are mostly just repeats of messages which can be seen within the program GUI as well.

The original Puppy concept was to keep things small and keep resource use to a minimum, but nowadays and moving forward is Dunst worth having on-board?

Thank you!

I am having trouble starting the script:

Code: Select all

** (gtkdialog:10005): ERROR **: 15:18:58.658: gtkdialog: Error in line 109, near token '</default>': syntax error
and exits. This is on a Bionic64-CE. The new dunst version is running.

u have not get ALL default values. replace your dunstrc file from another system...
file: /root/.config/dunst/dunstrc

or check your dunstrc file correct settings:
find this lines which looks like this (whitout start # char):
(if no exits, make newone)

Code: Select all

    font = Droid 12
    geometry = "350x30-10+10"
    transparency = 50
[frame]
    width = 1
    color = "#00f9ff"
[urgency_low]
    background = "#898989"
    foreground = "#000000"
    timeout = 10
[urgency_normal]
    background = "#000000"
    foreground = "#ffffff"
    timeout = 10
[urgency_critical]
    background = "#901d00"
    foreground = "#ffffff"
    timeout = 10
this is your default values (may u have other values after =)
