Tray Notification widget issues

[MoonRise]

As the title says. On my Desktop it works as it should. I always see a 2-5s pop-up notifying of statuses, tasks or events. On my laptop it seems to have quit. I know it has worked before but within the last 3 weeks nothing. Any ideas out there? I tried finding some configuration setting but couldn't or just overlooking.

you don't have the notification widget as part of your system tray ? check the config and be sure its enabled under entries. that or i don't get what your asking. the other place to look is of course in system settings applications and system notifications to check that events are being marked with a pop up notifictaion. (here you can test popups as well to be sure its working or not)

No it is there, but it doesn't auto-pop messages. Just turns the normal shade to notify of a notification. I've looked where you mention and most what I would expect to be marked to be in a pop-up are.

Check what you have in System Settings > Application and System Notifications > Other Notifications

I'm thinking of just wiping out my .kde folder. Don't know what changed but something sure is conflicting.

The notification widget is my most hated part of Kubuntu. I have to fiddle with it every time I boot up (turning it off and then on in the System Tray fixes the quirks, but this shouldn't be necessary).

Interesting how people view different features. I love the notification widget. I have never had to mess with it.

Wish I could say the same. Was working fine but not now. Still works a charm on my desktop just not the laptop.

Have you tried renaming your .kde folder yet?

[MoonRise]

Not yet. Will here in a few.

That worked but really less than ideal to have to do. What "Config" file controls that thing? Maybe just removing that? Took forever to get my customizations back.
