when irssi is starting up i can see that there is an error loading the notify.pl script. it says:

Error in script notify:
syntax error at ~/.irssi/scripts/autorun/notify.pl line 34, next token ???

line 34:

system("notify-send -t 7500 \"<span color='#ffffff'>".$title."</span>\""." \"".$text."\"");

any ideas?

This should be camelcased (urgentOnBell).

I don't know what the error means exactly, but did you install libnotify?

ok. got the urgentOnBell thing working.

i do have libnotify installed.

thanks

That perl error is a strange one, I would suggest opening the file at that line and checking for weird characters. It could be related to dos line endings, or it might just be missing a line feed, who knows.

To get rid of the perl error exchange the outer double quotes by single quotes in line 23:

       '\"' => '"',

(Actually I didn't test if this still works, but I suppose it should.)

What did you do to get urgentOnBell working? I don't succeed (already double-checked the irssi- and Xdefaults-settings).

Edit: got it. My fault. Thanks anyway!

If you are following http://awesome.naquadah.org/wiki/Irssi_tips then you don't need libnotify it uses awesome's naughty library to create notifications.

Try doing a

which notify-send

to make sure you have that, otherwise look at http://awesome.naquadah.org/wiki/Naughty for how to feed information to naughty.
