Hello!
Very often i need to take screen recordings, so very important to switch off pop-up notifications globally on desktop and switch on them after recording.
How to do it on Mate? I just can not find a convenient solution...

I've found this:
- to switch OFF:
Code: Select all
sudo mv /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.freedesktop.mate.Notifications.service /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.freedesktop.mate.Notifications.service.disabled
- to switch ON:
Code: Select all
sudo mv /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.freedesktop.mate.Notifications.service.disabled /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.freedesktop.mate.Notifications.service
It works but is it possible somehow to do it without entering password via launcher?

This would be completed if we could make scripts that would run without a password and launch them with launchers .. I have no such experience.
Is it possible?

Anything is possible.
But with sudo comes a password.
You can do it without.... but ofcourse not recommended

So the latest and the best solution for me - change MATE notifications to XFCE notifications
Code: Select all
sudo pacman -Rs mate-notification-daemon
sudo pacman -S xfce4-notifyd
To add new Notifications item to MATE Control Center:
Code: Select all
sudo nano /usr/share/applications/xfce4-notifyd-config.desktop
Change:
To:
So, unfortunately we cant't add applet to mate-panel for this but we can add keyboard shortcut: Mod4+N for Notifications
Now, finally I can control the behavior of desktop notifications on my MATE-desktop:
All works!
