Public bug reported:
I'm running MATE on Ubuntu 18.04.2. Recently, mate-notification-daemon
has started quitting within ~30-60 seconds after being invoked, so I
have no notifications daemon. This causes the entire desktop environment
to hang for about a minute each time the system tries to show a
notification (such as when wifi connects or disconnects, or I receive a
chat message).
My notifications used to work fine. I don't know why this has changed.
My apt update logs show no updates to mate-notification-daemon. However,
this issue is easy to reproduce:
1) Observe via ps that mate-notification-daemon isn't running
2) Invoke it (e.g. by running "time
/usr/lib/mate-notification-daemon/mate-notification-daemon" in a terminal)
3) Observe that the daemon quits after ~30-60 seconds:
$ time /usr/lib/mate-notification-daemon/mate-notification-daemon
real 0m29.954s
user 0m0.044s
sys 0m0.018s
I've run mate-notification-daemon under gdb, with the same behavior. gdb
reports the daemon is quitting normally.
Notifications being broken and causing the entire DE to hang each time I
get a notification is a severe usability problem.
