Public bug reported: pidgin-libnotify was removed in Ubuntu 20.04 https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=all&searchon=names&keywords=pidgin-libnotify
Users are advised to install the package compiled for Ubuntu 18.04 https://askubuntu.com/questions/1232938/pidgin-missing-libnotify-plugin-on-ubuntu-20-04 As far as I can tell, no plugins with equivalent functionality are packaged for Ubuntu 20.04. One possible replacement is purple-libnotify-plus: https://github.com/sardemff7/purple-libnotify-plus/ Please note that pidgin-libnotify is not just about notifications, it allows Pidgin to be run in background. That's a significant feature missing from Ubuntu 20.04. Without pidgin-libnotify installed, pidgin exists when its last window is closed. With pidgin-libnotify installed and enabled under Tools->Plugins, pidgin remains in memory when its last window is closed as evidenced by "ps x | grep pidgin" I'm using up-to-date Ubuntu 20.04.1 with pidgin 1:2.13.0-2.2ubuntu4 and pidgin-plugin-pack 2.7.0-4. ** Affects: pidgin-libnotify (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1903788 Title: pidgin-libnotify removed, but no alternative provided in Ubuntu 20.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pidgin-libnotify/+bug/1903788/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
