Title: NTFY installation
Post by: gemini2k on October 30, 2018, 05:15:38 am
Can anyone with some linux experience share how NTFY can be installed on the Gemini? It comes up with some errors. (https://ntfy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/)

I've not tried it and I'm sure you read this section of the docs about installing some extra things for debian:
https://ntfy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/#linu...fications-linux (https://ntfy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/#linux-desktop-notifications-linux)

Would be interesting for you to try it on desktop stretch so we at least know if we are debugging a generic debian problem or a gemini specific one.

What errors?

In any case, I use notify-send which is found in the libnotify-bin Debian package. I would recommend it, especially as it is a standard part of Debian and because it does essentially the same job.

Thank for your tip libnotify did the job

Excellent. You may wish to look at installing dunst which is an alternative tool for showing the actual notifications, one that I have found to be more easily configurable than the default (not sure which tool is the default, mind you).
