In yesterdays post I mentioned some of my feelings regarding the new Ubuntu 9.04 notification system. In a nutshell I think it could evolve into a nice system tool (similar to OS X “Growl”), but at this point it isn’t there yet. Until it is improved (perhaps in 9.10?) I’ve decided to simply disable it altogether. If you would like to disable the system as well keep reading:
Disable New Notifications
Disable the new system by using the following command: (one line)
sudo mv /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.freedesktop.Notifications.service /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.freedesktop.Notifications.service.disabled
To re-enable the new notification system after you’ve applied the above change, use the command: (one line)
sudo mv /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.freedesktop.Notifications.service.disabled /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.freedesktop.Notifications.service
I tried your tip, and while it did disable notifications, it also caused netbook-launcher to refuse starting… guess I'll have to stick with the notifications for a while longer…
