Is it possible to set Razor Qt to use notify-osd instead of its built in notification system?
1 Answer
Desktop notification is freedesktop standard (using dbus). See Desktop Notifications Specification. It should be a easy to replace.
The following procedure works for me in Ubuntu 14.04:
Rename
razor-notificationd
sudo mv /usr/bin/razor-notificationd /usr/bin/razor-notificationd.orig
Make a symbolic link to
notify-osd
(to replacerazor-notificationd
)For 64bit edition:
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/notify-osd /usr/bin/razor-notificationd
For 32bit edition:
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/notify-osd /usr/bin/razor-notificationd
Kill its running daemon.
pkill -f razor-notificationd
Check using:
Razor Configuration Center → Razor Notification Configuration → Click "Test Notification" button
Notification using razor-notificationd (Before)
Notification using notify-osd (After)

@DKBose, I have updated answer to reflect that, indicating the used Ubuntu version 14.04 and may be better with result screen-shot. Thank you– user.dzMay 16, 2014 at 5:40

1I tested it and it works perfectly. One suggestion I have is to update the answer so you provide the paths for both 32 and 64 bit systems. Otherwise, perfect. May 27, 2014 at 4:59
/usr/bin/razor-notificationd
then killed its running daemon. then launched/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/notify-osd &
. Tested from "Razor Notification Configuration", Clicked "Test Notification" button. It works! Did I miss something? or if you have tested it already, Doesn't it work with all type of notification?
