| [13:38] <Nikratio> I would like to display a notification message in the system tray from a cron script, similar to the one presented after a kernel upgrade. How can I do that? I couldn't find any hint in the postinst script of the kernel images.. | |
| [13:39] <laga> you're probabyl looking for the notification daemon | |
| [13:40] <Nikratio> laga: might be. So how can I connect to it / use it? | |
| [13:40] <RAOF> Actually, you're probably after update-notifier. | |
| [13:40] <laga> yeah, what he said. :) | |
| [13:40] <RAOF> Basically, you want to dump a file in /var/lib/user.d. The kernel postinst should be doing this; that's what you're looking for. | |
| [13:41] <Nikratio> Is the format of the file documented somewhere? It seems there are some special headers in there | |
| [13:43] <RAOF> I don't believe that it is. Or, at least, I don't recall finding such documentation when I was writing one for Xgl. | |
| [13:44] <Nikratio> I just dropped a file there and it didn't do anything | |
| [13:44] <stdin> in /var/lib/update-notifier/user.d/ ? | |
| [13:44] <Nikratio> yes | |
| [13:44] <laga> is update-notifier an ubuntu specific thing? | |
| [13:45] <RAOF> Yes. | |
| [13:46] <laga> that'd explain the lack of documentation :) | |
| [13:47] <Nikratio> I just downloaded the source. There seems to be some documentation in there | |
| [13:49] <Nikratio> Ok, one also has to touch /var/lib/update-notifier/dpkg-was-run | |
| [13:49] <Nikratio> but this is actually not the kind of message that I meant | |
| [13:50] <Nikratio> With update-notifier, one has to click on the small lamp icon and then the message is displayed in a window. I want to generate a message that directly pops up in the (default) lower right corner | |
| [13:59] <Nikratio> Ok, I got it. If someone else is interested: such messages can be generated with the libnotify-bin package. | |
| [13:59] <laga> cool, thanks | |
