Description of problem: notification-daemon is not launched by default on Fedora-Live-LXDE-x86_64-23_Alpha-1.iso. Users can't catch notifications. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): lxsession-0.5.2-5.fc23.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Fedora 23 from Fedora-Live-LXDE-x86_64-23_Alpha-1.iso. 2. Boot the installed system. 3. Log in to a standard LXDE session 4. Issue "notify-send 'test'" via lxterminal Actual results: 1. /usr/libexec/notification-daemon is not running by default 2. Notifications are losed. Expected results: 1. /usr/libexec/notification-daemon or another provider should be launched by default. 2. Users should be able to receive notifications Additional info: I'm testing inside a qemu-kvm guest.
Currently I am not sure if this is really a "bug" or should be classified as RFE (request for enhancement). Are there any strict reason LXDE should launch notification-daemon by default? LXDE is designed to be "light" and if not strictly needed we don't want to launch process if possible.
Well, that's a good question. IfI remember correctly, notification-daemon was present in the recent versions of Fedora. Furthermore, a standard live session of Lxde has got this process enabled and running: it just disappears after the installation. This last point made me think about a bug, but now I'm not sure. I think that Fedora should follow upstream, but in case of Lxde I don't know if there a standard set of packages...
Ah, actually now I checked kickstart file and verified that for live sesssion notification-daemon runs: https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/spin-kickstarts.git/tree/fedora-live-lxde.ks and also notification-daemon is explicitly listed in LXDE critpath https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/comps.git/tree/comps-f24.xml.in#n791 so I guess Fedora LXDE desktop's intension is to run notification-daemon by default (Christoph?) For now I will change so that notification-daemon runs on LXDE desktop by default.
