How can i disable ALL pop-up notification on Xubuntu 11.10
I have tried: sudo apt-get remove notify-osd
Which resulted in
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package notify-osd is not installed, so not removed
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Obviously removing notify-osd won't work because Xubuntu doesn't use it, it uses xfce4-notifyd.
So if you want to remove them, remove that package.
sudo apt-get remove xfce4-notifyd
If you only want to disable them use this:
sudo mv /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.xfce.xfce4-notifyd.Notifications.service /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.xfce.xfce4-notifyd.Notifications.service.disabled
To reverse that:
sudo mv /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.xfce.xfce4-notifyd.Notifications.service.disabled /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.xfce.xfce4-notifyd.Notifications.service
you can also run this command and will be able to edit what you want to be shown or blocked in notifications. I had to do this for SMB4K for drive mounts as it was driving me nuts lol.
xfce4-notifyd-config
Try this:
sudo mv /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.xfce.xfce4-notifyd.Notifications.service /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.xfce.xfce4-notifyd.Notifications.service.disabled
