[Bug 545894] Re: notifications appear over screensaver
17 hours later and Skype notifier still works after my last post. The screensaver is definitely the problem. In one comment it appeared that the notifier started getting put in a position below the bottom of the screen. There was a fix to change the alignment of the monitors in a dual monitor scenario. Should that be the reason for the disappearance, if the Skype programmers have any control over the position of the notification on the screen they should either place it somewhere on top right or left or higher on the bottom or give the user the option of where the notification is placed on the screen. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/545894 Title: notifications appear over screensaver To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xscreensaver/+bug/545894/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 545894] Re: notifications appear over screensaver
Skype4.0 uses a popup notifier that has the answer the phone button on it and no where else. The only way that I can get the popup to reappear when it doesn't work is to restart Skype. Unfortunately usually I find it isn't working when I can't answer and incoming call. I did the following. I uninstalled the xscreensaver. I already had the monitor being powered down by the xfce power manager. I started Skype yesterday. It is still answering today I tested it with the Options, Notifiers, Incoming call ringing. and test. The test didn't work when it was not working correctly.. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/545894 Title: notifications appear over screensaver To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xscreensaver/+bug/545894/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Please let us know which screensaver this is. could you make sure gnome- screensave or xscreensaver is installed, and not both screensavers? ** Changed in: gnome-screensaver (Ubuntu) Status: New = Incomplete -- notifications appear over screensaver https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/545894 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Thanks for reporting this bug and any supporting documentation. Since this bug has enough information provided for a developer to begin work, I'm going to mark it as confirmed and let them handle it from here. I have changed the package from gnome-screensaver to xscreensaver, since xscreensaver is the package in use.

what screensaver do you use? gnome-screensaver? it's rather a bug in the screensaver or in the wm, not one in libnotify ** Package changed: libnotify (Ubuntu) = gnome-screensaver (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: gnome-screensaver (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = Low -- notifications appear over screensaver https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/545894 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 545894] Re: notifications appear over screensaver
I am unable to interact with the notifications normally (other than blurring on mouseover) - I believe this may be due to not having notification-daemon installed. I've just tested it, nad once the screensaver is activated I cannot move the mouse outside of the enter password box. The messages I sent over msn from one machine to the other displayed for all to see on top of the screensaver. I've also seen (as mentioned earlier) user log in / out messages. I've not *seen* any other messages, but can ssh in to test if it's just a simple command / script to test to generate the popups? -- notifications appear over screensaver https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/545894 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 545894] Re: notifications appear over screensaver
I can reproduce it using this script borrowed and adapted from bug #534522. Steps to reproduce: 1. Set screensaver to come on after 1min and lock when on. 2. ssh into machine 3. run: $ export DISPLAY=:0 $ python osd_test.py 4. observe how notification appears on top of the screensaver. NB: Not sure if it's relevant or not, but I'm using a dual-screen set up. The notifications appear in the usual place on screen 2. ** Attachment added: osd_test.py http://launchpadlibrarian.net/41850014/osd_test.py -- notifications appear over screensaver https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/545894 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
