for the second.

Also the screenshot for what i have now.

What r my next steps?

OK, to put it in simple terms, both the notification-daemon and the xfce4-notifyd package install the same DBus service file (which is a bug), so whichever package is installed last "wins" and determines which notification daemon will be used. What you can do now is try to uninstall notification-daemon (this might not be possible when you have other packages installed which depend on it) and subsequently re-install xfce4-notifyd. After that you need to log out and back in and you should be running the Xfce notification daemon. I've already submitted a fix to Factory so that xfce4-notifyd will not overwrite the service file delivered by notification-daemon any more. Unfortunately this will not solve the problem that DBus arbitrarily chooses a service when there are several equivalent providers. That is actually a more deep-rooted problem of DBus. -- Guido Berhoerster -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-xfce+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-xfce+help@opensuse.org
