How can I make xfce4-volumed keep giving notifications in Lubuntu?
I'm using Lubuntu 12.04, with xfce4-volumed installed, see this question. When I'm changing the volume using FN+Vol-, a nice notification balloon pops up. This is what I want. However, when I try to change the volume 10 seconds later, I first have to click the 'Clear all notifications' button to get further notifications. I want to get rid of this: xfce4-volumed should always be giving notifications, whether or not I've clicked the button.
How can I get this done?
Answers that tell me how to disable the whole envelope thing, or change it by another notification daemon to get this done, are also welcome.
Solution 1:
I solved this by installing the XFCE-popups. You can read about how to make it work here.
The only difference between those instructions and "ours" is that we no longer have notify-osd in Lubuntu 12.04. It has been replaced by the notification-daemon. There are two ways you can get rid of the compatibility issues:
sudo apt-get remove notification-daemon- delete the notification-daemon autostart file from
/etc/xdg/autostart/.
Reboot. Enjoy.

Why don't you remove notification area from your panel?
Right click on panel.
Click on "Properties".
Click on "Add new items".
Click on "Notification area" icon.
Click on "Delete".
Simple.
