Any idea how to resolve the conflict between these 2 notification
services? (Without being forced to remove half of KDE?)
A fair bit of searching gave this result;
https://askubuntu.com/questions/843076/how-to-blacklist-a-d-bus-service
In short: they use dbus permissions for blacklisting.
Although I really dislike editing in /usr, perhaps the same thing can be
realised in /etc/somewhere (don't have an Arch Linux install handy ATM).
A deny policy (on the KDE notification) for your user should solve the
problem without hacking through dependencies.
Thanks for the suggestion. I tried to fix this as per your suggestion
but wasn't able to make it work:
$ cat /etc/dbus-1/session-local.conf
<!DOCTYPE busconfig PUBLIC "-//freedesktop//DTD D-Bus Bus Configuration
1.0//EN"
"http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/dbus/1.0/busconfig.dtd";>
<busconfig>
<policy context="default">
<deny send_destination="org.kde.knotifications"/>
</policy>
</busconfig>
For now, I've worked around the issue by commenting out the contents of
/usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.kde.plasma.Notifications.service . But
this really ought to be fixed upstream by one or more of the following:
1) xfce4-notifyd shouldn't shut itself down on inactivity
2) KDE should do something to remove the conflict between their new
notifications dbus file and those belonging to other DE's
There's bugs open for both of these. I'll see how upstream wants to
handle them.
Thanks,
DR
