GNOME is more than the libraries -- there is also the session stuff, panels etc. Basically, you need to start a GNOME session for the gnome-osd to work. (Well a full-blown gnome-session may be a bit extra, but I don't see the point of finding the minimal set of components it takes. After all, it would be as heavy as the full session). > > just add gnome-osd package and set ENABLE_OSD to 'yes'. > > Logout/login for the gnome-osd bridge to start and trigger some > > notifications. > > $ sudo aptitude install gnome-osd > $ sudo vim /etc/default/eeepc-acpi-scripts > $ cat /etc/default/eeepc-acpi-scripts > # by default OSD output of function keys is disabled because it's too slow > # set to yes if you want fancy osd overlayS > ENABLE_OSD='yes' > OSD_FONT='DejaVuSans 36' > […] > > $ sudo invoke-rc.d acpid restart # I do not know if that was needed. > Stopping ACPI services.... > Loading ACPI modules.... > Starting ACPI services.... > $ # logout/login, just to make sure > $ gnome-osd-event-bridge & Nah, this process is started up automatically when you start the GNOME session. > XChat monitoring is not working: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: > The name org.xchat.service was not provided by any .service files > $ # Nothing happens, when I change the backlight or volume. > $ gnome-osd-client -f "<message id=’myplugin’ osd_fake_translucent_bg=’on’ > osd_vposition=’center’ animations=’off’ hide_timeout=’1000’ > osd_halignment=’right’>Volume: 96%</message>" > ServerError: <class 'xml.parsers.expat.ExpatError'>: not well-formed (invalid > token): line 1, column 12 > $ # Bug? Not a bug. The ’ symbol you pasted from the manual page is not vali XML. Use ' instead. All in all, the gnome-osd support is targetted at users of GNOME (the full-blown desktop environment). If you want to run it under LXDE, better find an analogous servise for LXDE (lxde-osd, anyone?). I have no idea if such thing exists. If somebody more knoweledgable in KDE than me can hand me a script that does OSD the KDE-way, I will happily integrate that too. XFCE too, or whatever you use. -- dam JabberID: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
