notify-send not working on 14.04, but volume and brightness notifications do
FWIW, I checked against my install of Ubuntu 14.04 (64 bit) and have the same dpkg...
output that you have, plus a couple of others from other apps being installed.
Try notify-send "summary" "body"
and also try with the --urgency=critical
to see if that has any effect. The latter is effective when notify-send
is being suppressed because a video is playing.
Otherwise, perhaps install a 3rd party indicator which has notifications and see if that works.
Found the following from a comment at this question:
Try purging notification-daemon: sudo apt-get purge notification-daemon
then try apt-get autoremove
. Make sure notify-osd
is installed: sudo apt-get install --reinstall notify-osd
and restart.
