I have tested with notify-send, xmessage, Wall, and at the time I am writing this I do not know what others I have tried before I wrote the original posting, but so far none work as expected and none send a pop-up note of any type in front of someone in the GUI.
I tested notify-send, and it does pop up a message, ant least in xfce.
I tested it too, and it didn't appear to do anything in LXDE on 42.1
On 42.2 I see that xfce is running its own xfce4-notifyd, which is probably why it works out of the box. According to various google searches concerning missing notifications in LXDE, if you install the notification-daemon, then LXDE should show notifications. But I don't have a LXDE desktop, so I can't be sure. There is also this link which includes info on implementations for many desktops (but curiously not LXDE): https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Desktop_notifications It's interesting that the above page does not include a description of any wall like capability. The closest being an example of using sudo from root in the manner of the example script I posted previously. This appears to be a shortcoming in the notification facilities. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
