I already fixed the Problem. I was also unable to change themes, icons, mousepointer etc. Problem of all that was that in 8.10 i removed ubunu-desktop due to some stupid dependency issues. So during dist-upgrade ubuntu-desktop package was not installed, which partly broke the upgraded system as described.(notify not installed, theme switching impossible, icontheme switching impossible) So due to missing ubuntu-desktop meta package, notify-osd did not get installed.
Upgrade process should maybe take that in account and reinstall all needed meta packages. After fixing it manually, all works fine again. -- New notification system not working after upgrade https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/366920 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
