[Bug 1283142] Re: Can't shut the meeting alarm (notify-osd fallback buttons not working)

 

Laney, Seb, I agree... I think there's something fundamentally different
from alerting on a phone and on the desktop.

The snap + audio is to let you know something's going on when your phone
is in your pocket or on your bedside table... but on the desktop, where
you're already looking at the screen, the sound is annoying and the
popup dialog is unnecessary.

Until design gives more direction on this, I'm going to have datetime
use bubble notifications w/o sound when it sees notify-osd is the
notification server.

  Can't shut the meeting alarm (notify-osd fallback buttons not working)

Status in “indicator-datetime” package in Ubuntu:

  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I was surprised with this features. Suddenly, the system started
  beeping at him about a meeting and asked if I want to cancel, dismiss,
  ok , etc.

  pressing OK or Cancel puts the UI away but doesn't shut the alarm
  sounds. This is extremely annoying. BTW where is the setting to turn
  off notification?
