Bug ID: 448736
Summary: Regression: Desktop notifications don't popup when the
application updates them.
Product: frameworks-plasma
Version: 5.90.0
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: libplasma
Assignee: notm...@gmail.com
Reporter: wakeroid+...@gmail.com
CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Notifications don't popup when the application updates them. This is a
regression, since this has worked fine in KDE in the past, and that still works
this way in the other environments.
A user has reported this to me, since I'm a developer of an affected app, which
is called Deadbeef music player.
I'm basically forwarding the bug report for the user, and it's a bit difficult
for me to provide some of the bits of information.
For example, I don't know when this has stopped working, but I'm assuming it
was the latest KDE update in ArchLinux which caused it.
To reproduce the issue, you would need to download any Deadbeef build. The
build below is recommended, but any build from several years back should be
sufficient.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/deadbeef/files/travis/linux/1.9/deadbeef-static_1.9.0-beta1-1_x86_64.tar.bz2/download
You also need a few audio files with tags (like artist/album/title).
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Run deadbeef, and add a few audio files to the playlist
2. Play a music file, and observe that notification has appeared
3. Wait until the notification fades-out / disappears
4. Seek close to the end of the current media file, and wait until next file
starts playing
5. Observe that notification for the newly playing file doesn't appear
6. Observe that notification has been updated, by checking the notification
history
OBSERVED RESULT
Updated notification is sent by the application (can be seen in history in
KDE), but doesn't appear on the screen.
EXPECTED RESULT
The notification should appear on the screen.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
KDE Plasma Version: 5.23.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.90.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Please see the user-submitted video for the demonstration of the problem.
I'm sorry upfront if I have chosen a wrong Product or Component.
I'm not a KDE user, and I have no way of knowing which subsystem is responsible
for displaying the notifications.
