Depending on the OS version, one may have to to replace the existing Lubuntu notify pop-up with the XFCE equivalent:
XFCE Popup
Lubuntu Popup
It has a simple config GUI (xfce4-notifyd-config
) - by default the notification size is smaller - similar to the Unity pop-ups.
Since all the desktop popups work with the same underlying libnotify - using the XFCE variant in Lubuntu is fully compatible.
to install
Install the XFCE Notify Pop-up if you don't see it in your list of installed software (dpkg --get-selections | grep "xfce4-notify"
):
sudo apt-get install xfce4-notifyd
It doesn't work with notify-osd
if you have this also installed:
sudo apt-get remove notify-osd
Logout and login for the changes to take effect.
You need to remove notification-daemon
as described using this Q&A:
Notification-daemon have been replaced for xfce4-notifyd on the default installation
In other words, it's the default. You don't have to install or uninstall anything and the notifications are already smaller. But you can still do useful things such as choose
Just press Alt+F2 to bring up the Run
window (or click Run
in the main menu), type xfce4-notifyd-config
, and hit enter to get the GUI and make your choice.
Alternatively, if you want to use the mouse, you'll have to do a bit of extra work to get xfce4-notifyd-config
to appear as an option in Main Menu
, Preferences
:
/usr/share/applications/xfce4-notifyd-config.desktop
to ~/.local/share/applications
OnlyShowIn=XFCE
OnlyShowIn=XFCE;LXDE
You should now see Notifications
in Main Menu
, Preferences
. Clicking on that will bring up the GUI (that could be also accessed by typing xfce4-notifyd-config
in a terminal or in the dialog box obtained by pressing Alt+F2).
