broken notification in xubuntu

[tr4rex]

hi, i have xubuntu installed on laptop. notifications works fine, just like in picture

after some time i tried i3wm (http://i3wm.org), but after i returned to xfce, notifications became broken in xubuntu. and now the look like this

do you have any ideas how to fix it?

Is xfce4-notifyd running?

ps -ef | grep notif

Go to Settings Manager -> Notifications. Which theme is selected? Try changing the theme to see if it helps.

[tr4rex]

yes, the notification is running

sergey    2358     1  0 22:07 ?        00:00:01 update-notifier
sergey    2508  2322  0 22:07 ?        00:00:00 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/xfce4/panel/wrapper /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/xfce4/panel/plugins/libsystray.so 12 27263017 systray Notification Area Area where notification icons appear

whatever theme and location i choose, the blue rectangle remains on the same position

That's not the notification daemon. You should get:

$ ps -ef | grep notif
toz       2428  2332  0 Jul04 ?        00:00:02 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/xfce4/panel/wrapper /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/xfce4/panel/plugins/libsystray.so 4 29360173 systray Notification Area Area where notification icons appear 
toz       7091     1  0 13:04 ?        00:00:01 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/xfce4/notifyd/xfce4-notifyd

Maybe try running that executable to see if it fixes the problem. If the file doesn't exist, it is part of the xfce4-notifyd package.

[tr4rex]

if i try to re-run xfce4-notifyd, then i get message that "another xndaemon is running". i have not found this daemon in services list http://pastebin.com/ditrdf80

Do you have notify-osd installed?

Can you post back all of your running processes:

ps -ef | grep $USER

Looks like another notification daemon is running.

[tr4rex]

i have not notify-osd installed. after installation notifications works fine. thx!

I had to remove (and kill) /usr/bin/dunst to solve this exact problem.

I had to remove (and kill) /usr/bin/dunst to solve this exact problem.

That did the job for me as well, thanks!

sudo apt-get purge dunst
