I had whichever the default notification- daemon for xubuntu installed and working fine I believe it was the *-xfce version. I heard about the new black notifications and I wanted to test them out... not sure if the update-manager installed them or if I had to manually install notify-osd. Anyways... it seemed to work fine for about a day... I could test it with notify-send "test" -- however... now I can't get any notifications to appear. notify-send "test" no longer makes a purty black box appear.
