Ubuntu – Aren’t there multiple notifications? And how to enable

notificationnotify-osd

I noticed in Ubuntu 11.04 there are only two notifications allowed at once, one being for sound, etc… and the other for all applications. I am using udev-notify and my computer likes to dump my webcam and whenever that happens, there are two popups just for it being disconnected and then two more for re-connecting it which takes forever to see since I have to wait for each to close.

Is there a way to enable multiple notifications?

Best Answer

No, there is not a way to enable multiple notification bubbles:

JD, this is the intended behaviour. We queue application notifications, so that only one will be displayed at any time. That means they are delivered asynchronously, which drives a number of the changes in our implementation from other implementations.
