Hello from 2020, the man for notify-send now indeed has a note for the -t parameter that "Ubuntu's Notify OSD and GNOME Shell both ignore this parameter.".
However "notify-send --help" still shows the old message, which had me wasting the last hour trying to figure out what was wrong. After reading the comments, I feel we're being trolled. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/390508 Title: notifyOSD ignores the expire timeout parameter To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/390508/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
