Description John van Spaandonk 2022-02-12 14:55:25 UTC 
SUMMARY
***
Notification do not work for the command line utility nordvpn under Wayland. It works under X11 ***


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
No idea how to reproduce this if you do not have a subscription to nordvpn but the command line utility
   can be downloaded from their website. 
1. You are not connected to a VPN
2. open a konsole and type nordvpn connect

OBSERVED RESULT
Under X11 I get a notification that I am connected to the VPN server, under Wayland I get no notification. 
Same for disconnecting if you are already connected to a VPN server.


EXPECTED RESULT

Comment 3 Nicolas Fella 2022-02-13 16:31:52 UTC 
Does running "kdialog --passivepopup Hello" work on Wayland?
Comment 4 John van Spaandonk 2022-02-13 18:37:38 UTC 
It does!
Comment 5 Nicolas Fella 2022-02-13 18:46:50 UTC 
that is what nordvpn seems to call to create notifications, and it works find on Wayland for both of us. Since I can't look into what exactly nordvpn is doing I'm afraid I can't really do anything more
Comment 6 John van Spaandonk 2022-02-14 12:40:35 UTC 
I asked nordvpn for help, let's see what they say.
Comment 7 Nate Graham 2022-02-15 20:59:58 UTC 
Seems like a problem specific to nordvpn itself. Let us know what they say!
