enter image description hereAfter recent update my new mail notification is changed to a very simple blue line in the upper left corner of the screen. Any ideas how can I change it back to a normal Unity notification? I'm on Ubuntu 14.04 with Unity.

  • To get notifications you actually need an addon to do so, have you check what addons you have?

  • I don't think so. Anyway, all my addons that I used to have when it was working are enabled.

  • This clearly is a notify-osd issue, since notify-send displays all the notifications in that way.

Solved! Thanks to this: Notify-osd notifications appear unthemed in top-left corner

It turned out that the problem appeared after I played around with the i3 windows manager. I didn't like it so I purged it. But some packages remained and dunst was the culprit!

I executed sudo apt-get purge dunst and then also sudo apt-get purge i3 i3-wm i3lock suckless-tools i3status.

  • I wonder why purge command does not actually purge ALL packages?
