I installed empathy in Lubuntu.

I want a notification to popup when a message is received.

However, when I open edit -> preferences -> notifications, it doesn't have an option, "show incoming messages in the messaging menu" as usual.

What should I do to enable message notifications?

In the Preferences window you can only disable/enable the visual notifications. There is a message notifier extension which is pretty customizable too

In case you are still not getting notification then you might try the method described in a previous question.

  • But lubuntu doesn't use gnome. It use desktop LXDE.

  • Then I guess you need to take a look at previous question link given in the same post.

I'm not sure, but did you check that telepathy-indicator is up and running ? You might have to install it with::

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install telepathy-indicator

Then you can launch it on the command line or in the Startup Applications.

This worked for me on Ubuntu 12.10 with Empathy 3.6.0.3-0ubuntu1.

I have no idea if this is off-topic for Lubuntu...

  • I already have telepathy-indicator isntalled, but it still work. I think Maybe in Lubuntu's desk LXDE, it just don't have this function. Thanks anyway.
