I installed i3 alongside unity but now I see the i3 notification box while on unity.
How can I change this back to the unity one without removing i3? The other solutions to this problem seem to be removing the other WM/DE
For me this worked, I'm running Ubuntu 16.04
run the following commands withsudo
create a file /usr/bin/user_notify
and write
the following text to the file.
#!/bin/bash
set -euo pipefail
if pgrep -x i3 >/dev/null ; then
/usr/bin/dunst
else
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/notify-osd
fi
make the file executable by running chmod a+x /usr/bin/user_notify
open the file /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.knopwob.dunst.service
and replace Exec=/usr/bin/dunst
by Exec=/usr/bin/user_notify
Remark To use the standard unity notifier (also in i3) just
replace Exec=/usr/bin/dunst
by Exec=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/notify-osd
in the file /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.knopwob.dunst.service
.
For me, inspired by the other answers, sudo apt remove dunst
and logging out and in again was sufficient.
dunst
.Package 'dunst' is not installed, so not removed
type dunst
anddpkg -S $(type -p dunst)
? This is also not really an issue with i3: While the i3 package (at least the official one) recommends the dunst package, i3 has nothing to do with the dunst configuration. So the problem will not go away, just by removing i3.
