You might try gsettings set com.canonical.notify-osd multihead-mode focus-follow After that the Notification will always appear on the screen which has the mouse on it. I wonder why this is not the default. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/367947 Title: Notifications appear in non-visible area of multi-head desktop To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/notify-osd/+bug/367947/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 367947] Re: Notifications appear in non-visible area of multi-head desktop
This bug still exists in Precise. It seems like a common enough configuration to me: I have my laptop on my desk (1366x768), and put another monitor above that (1280x1024), so the top monitor is 86 pixels narrower than the laptop screen. Notifications appear on the upper screen, and the right side is clipped off. How can invisible or incomplete notifications be a low bug fix importance? A workaround for me is to align the bottom monitor so the right edges align. That doesn't seem to cause problems with access to the Unity launcher (configured to show only on the upper screen). But it doesn't seem like it would help some of the other use cases reported here. There are various reasons for choosing alignments. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/367947 Title: Notifications appear in non-visible area of multi-head desktop To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/notify-osd/+bug/367947/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

xrandr -q output is useful for describing the exact configuration. Note in particular the resolution of each monitor, and the offset of each monitor within the overall virtual screen, are shown. E.g. the first one listed for me, LVDS1, is 1366x768, with an offset of 0 horizontal and 1024 vertical (down from the top), so it is configured below the second one listed. $ xrandr -q Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1366 x 1792, maximum 8192 x 8192 LVDS1 connected 1366x768+0+1024 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 295mm x 166mm 1366x768 60.0*+ 1360x768 59.8 60.0 1024x768 60.0 800x60060.3 56.2 640x48059.9 VGA1 connected 1280x1024+86+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 338mm x 270mm 1280x1024 60.0 + 75.0* 1280x960 60.0 1152x864 75.0 1024x768 75.1 70.1 60.0 832x62474.6 800x60072.2 75.0 60.3 56.2 640x48072.8 75.0 66.7 60.0 720x40070.1 HDMI1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) DP1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/367947 Title: Notifications appear in non-visible area of multi-head desktop To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/notify-osd/+bug/367947/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

My notifications are appearing in the top right corner of the right most monitor on my dual head display, but I would rather have it at the far right of the top panel where it used to be. Now it appears on my secondary monitor that I'm not looking at. -- Notifications appear in non-visible area of multi-head desktop https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/367947 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 367947] Re: Notifications appear in non-visible area of multi-head desktop
After hours of searching reading I finally found this bug report - and I can confirm this. Scenario: primary screen plugged in VGA port of my laptop, secondary is the LVDS (to the right). As the LVDS resolution is different from the primary monitor, I have a non-visible area either at the top or the bottom of my LVDS (right screen). (1) I figured out, that the notify-osd is placed at the top-right corner of the virtual screen and there is no attempt to make this configurable (but thats another topic and this is not the place for my emotions on this). (2) Furthermore, adding the gconf dir /apps/notify-osd/ + entry multihead_mode focus-follow didn't work for me. The OSD is shown at the top-right of the virtual screen, regardless of my focus. Thus, I'm forced to align top LVDS with top of VGA - which makes hitting the windows-list on the bottom gome-panel quite tricky (is there a way to prevent the mouse from diving into the non-visible area?). However, fixing the position of the OSD to be inside the actually visible area would make things easier.

If i understand correctly, we should make sure that the area where we display the notifications is within the geometry of a monitor (in xrandr terms), even if it is on the (big virtual) screen. -- Notifications appear in non-visible area of multi-head desktop https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/367947 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 367947] Re: Notifications appear in non-visible area of multi-head desktop
@David Barth-- Definitely, I think that would fix it for me. In cases where they top-right corner of the 'virtual screen' is in a non-visible area (outside the geometry of a monitor), that raises a new question -- which of the two 'top-right' corners to choose as the default location (1 and 2 in my lame ascii art diagrams below) ___1 ||_2 || | |___|_| 1 ||__2 | | |__| If the notifications are going to default to a top right corner, I would vote for #2, the top right corner that is furthest right, but others might disagree. In any case, making sure they are visible somehow would be a great improvement.

[Bug 367947] Re: Notifications appear in non-visible area of multi-head desktop
As requested in the thread of bug 331369, I post my comments here too: I have a multi-monitor setup, with two monitors of different size - primary is 1920x1200 and second is 1280x1024. Both connected to a Nvidia card, using TwinView. They are aligned at the bottom edge, with panels at the bottom. If I understand things correctly, putting the panels at the bottom puts notify-osd in some fallback mode where notifications are displayed top right. This would not be a major problem for me if the notifications were displayed within the visible area. But they are not! Instead they are displayed within the dead 1280x176 pixel area above my second screen. So I can't see them at all. This has forced me to revert to the old notification system. For others who have this problem, this can be done easily using gnome- stracciatella-session: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/Specs/Jaunty/StracciatellaSession. -- Notifications appear in non-visible area of multi-head desktop https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/367947 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
