Update: It seems like it's happening immediately on login now. Do you have any particular plasmoids setup? Can you set a breakpoint in NotificationManager::Server::init and see if there's a plasmoid or someone registering notifications? (In reply to Kai Uwe Broulik from comment #2) > Do you have any particular plasmoids setup? > Can you set a breakpoint in NotificationManager::Server::init and see if > there's a plasmoid or someone registering notifications? How would I go about setting a breakpoint? As for my Plasmoid config: It's just Feren OS's default - the only Notifications Plasmoid instance visibly used is in the Latte Dock up top. The bottom is a standard Plasma panel with notifications disabled in System Tray. So, it seems there was a secret Notifications Plasmoid instance running this whole time... nevermind then. So that's why this bug was occuring. Marking as Resolved Downstream. (Resetting the Desktop Layout fixed it) @The Feren OS Dev Could you please clarify what did you mean by (Resetting the Desktop Layout...)? I am on Plasma 5.20.5 and I've been getting this message from at least 5.19. |
Created attachment 125920 [details] Latte Dock Notifications Plasmoid after the bug is triggered SUMMARY Every now and then, in the past Latte Dock would stop displaying and collecting notifications despite working just fine earlier, leading to confusion in the past with what happened. Then came Plasma 5.18. Since Plasma 5.18's Notifications Plasmoid now says what the current notification service is if the notifications plasmoid cannot collect notifications, I can now report this bug having an idea on what on earth is even going on. Every now and then, Latte Dock's instance of Plasma 5.18's Notifications Plasmoid will suddenly say the notifications service is unavailable because "Notifications are currently provided by 'KDE Plasma'". STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Add Notifications to a Latte Dock/Panel. 2. Remove it from any Plasma panels, Plasma desktops, System Tray Plasmoids, etc. 3. Wait and hopefully get lucky enough for this bug to randomly trigger on your session. OBSERVED RESULT (see the attached image) EXPECTED RESULT Notifications Plasmoid will keep working just fine at all times like it does when on a Plasma panel.
