Attachments: journalctl log grepping for "notification"

journalctl log grepping for "notification"

I used a Flatpak application that ran a bunch of jobs, all finished with errors.

The notification popups
- are all shown, max of 5
- can not be disabled by enabling do not disturb mode
- can not be disabled by disabling notifications for that program
- do not disappear when clicking the broom icon in the systray notification popup menu
- do not disappear when clicking on x

I got some things in journalctl, not sure if useful

Kernel Version: 6.12.53 (64-bit)

maybe it was not clear. "Cannot be disabled" meant before, that old ones would disappear but new ones would be there again

But now after some time, there are persistent notifications

Also, the notifications popup over a fullscreen Haruna window, which I dont think is correct. They should not be over a fullscreen window.
