a notification about system update has appeared, I clicked on closing button in the notification applet, the notification gone, but after nearly 2 or 3 seconds it shows again, and still popping and disappearing and can't stop it. this is very annoying behaviour Reproducible: Didn't try Actual Results: The notification disappeared then pops out again after clicking on close button Expected Results: The notification should go forever after clicking the close button after a while, may be 10 minutes the notification disappeared and this behaviour stopped automatically
Thanks for the report. First of all please always attach the images directly here, never use sites like imgur because then they can expire whenever and then this report would have no image :) Second, I've noticed this in Kubuntu as well and I think this is a fault in some of their component which keeps emitting the notification. Harald - which is the component emitting this and where can I look at the code?
Muon.
FWIW I am actually reasonable certain that the problem is muon monitoring some file to notice when there are changes on debian distros and that file gets touched more than once per apt update run, so muon notifies for each file modification.
Yeah I had a similar guess. It can be observed especially during "apt-get update". I'm looking into this.
ApplicationNotifier.cpp has a watch stampDirWatch which gets called a lot ApplicationNotifier::distUpgradeEvent could also do with being called less often or checking the notification hasn't already been shown today
they're both called stampDirWatch for some reason recheckSystemUpdateNeeded is the system release upgrade notification and gets called lots

Well, so much for "I'm looking into this" :P /me drops it then
Well, it's not fixed, it will still be called more times than needed (if it really does happen every now and then while upgrading).
