No, you can't. This only works if you are writing software that you don't want to distribute to anyone else. If you want to share with other people, they must also have a functional (i.e. patched) notify-osd. I think the arrogance of the Ubuntu developers on this thread is really shocking. There are apps bundled with Ubuntu that don't follow the silly 5 second rule, like the volume control. The real problem is that notify-send is very limited in functionality. Either it should support merging, replacement, and stacking, or notify-osd should support the timeout option. This is just common sense. The problem with UI experts is that they like to pretend what they do is a science, when really it is subjective art. Unfortunately, the Ubuntu UI developers have decided that they know better than everyone else. -- notify-send ignores the expire timeout parameter https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/390508 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
