Hello, wondering if anyone else has seen this and if there's a fix? Sometimes notifications via notify-osd speak fine. I've actually come to rely upon these for various bits of functionality. Since I can't just glance over to my IM contacts window, for instance, I use these notifications to notice when a friend I want to talk to logs on.
But sometimes these notifications don't speak. This seems to happen on a session-by-session basis. For instance, sometimes I'll get a session where notifications speak perfectly. Then, one GDM restart later, they aren't. Also, sometimes notifications stop during a session, and once stopped they never start again. I've found my .cache/notify-osd.log. It is receiving events. I see a notify-osd process running. What I don't see when a notification appears are messages in Orca's debug output indicating that any sort of event has been received. The challenge here is that I don't know if the notifications are actually appearing on my screen and notify-osd isn't generating accessibility events, or if notify-osd needs some other applet running to display these accessibly. I also can't seem to pin down what makes events start and stop working. I know that they were until recently working quite reliably, and I thought that perhaps a bug had gotten fixed somewhere, but after the latest Karmic updates they've stopped. Has anyone else seen this? Does anyone have a fix? This is incredibly frustrating, particularly as I don't know with whom to file a bug. Happy to do so, I just need to know what isn't working. Also, I thought that maybe the indicator applets might give some clue, but there are bunches of those, and I'm thinking they aren't it. I also see a notification area applet that I wonder if I should add? It doesn't appear to be running already, even though notify-osd is and seems to have a number of GUI libs linked against it, suggesting that it is responsible for the notification bubbles. Amd if the notification applet is what is responsible, why wouldn't it already be running since notify-osd is fairly Ubuntu-specific?
