Popup notification cannot change theme

Support & Help Requests
#1

Hi, i was using mate and installed i3 after that.
but the popup notification in mate is like the one in i3.

What i have tried,

  • removing i3 completly
  • changing the theme at "Notification Settings"

I want to change to the default mate popup notification theme.

Some other notification daemon/service is probably installed, and it gets activated instead of mate-notification-daemon. Check if it’s there:

$ grep -RI 'org.freedesktop.Notifications' /usr/share/dbus-1/services/

Some notification daemons aren’t DBus-activated though, instead they autostart with the session. So check Startup Applications Preferences (mate-session-properties) too.

#3

here’s the output

$ grep -RI 'org.freedesktop.Notifications' /usr/share/dbus-1/services/
/usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.knopwob.dunst.service:Name=org.freedesktop.Notifications
/usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.freedesktop.mate.Notifications.service:Name=org.freedesktop.Notifications

i tried removing “dunst” package via synaptic package manager and log off, this solves my problem.

Thx @monsta
