Introduction to Notification Daemon

The Notification Daemon package contains a daemon that displays passive pop-up notifications.

[Note]

Note

Development versions of BLFS may not build or run some packages properly if LFS or dependencies have been updated since the most recent stable versions of the books.

Package Information

Notification Daemon Dependencies

Required

GTK+-3.24.43 and libcanberra-0.30 (Built with GTK+-3.24.43 support).

Installation of Notification Daemon

Install Notification Daemon by running the following commands: 

./configure --prefix=/usr     \
            --sysconfdir=/etc \
            --disable-static  &&
make

This package does not come with a test suite.

Now, as the root user: 

make install

You can test the notification daemon with the command notify-send: 

pgrep -l notification-da &&
notify-send -i info Information "Hi ${USER}, This is a Test"

The command pgrep -l notification-da is added to assure that it is the daemon of this package that is running, not another one, e.g. the daemon from xfce4-notifyd-0.9.6.
