Banshee Notification Bubble (GNOME3.2) <SOLVED>

proxima_centauri · 2011-09-28 21:31:44

Hi,

After latest update to gnome 3.2 I have noticed that when Banshee changes songs, the little pop-up notification at the bottom is malformed.
What it shows me regardless of song is:

Song Title
by Artist
by Album

Just a generic example, 'song title', 'artist', and 'album' fields are all correctly populated.

Perhaps another unrelated fact is on the notification area icon for banshee is titled "notify-sharp" instead of "Banshee".

Is anyone else affected by this behaviour?

Yep, i have exactly this problem too. Gnome 3.2 in an x86 Archlinux with Banshee 2.2.

I was originally running GNOME3.2 from [gnome-unstable], and have since fully upgraded to [testing].
Problem still present.

i found your statement logically. nothing changed because nobody reported.

I thought it was possible a package that had yet to be upgraded was responsible.
Is it appropriate to file this bug upstream at https://bugzilla.gnome.org under notification-daemon?

i think is a bug in either banshee or gnome-shell

I filled a bug for anyone interested.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=660718

Should a mod see this, the thread can be moved to "Applications & Desktop Environments", since Gnome 3.2.0 has hit Extra.

Done as requested.

BTW: You can use the "Report" button for requests like this. This guarantees it is seen by the mods.

The problem isn't in notification-daemon but in Banshee, Banshee doesn't use notifications standard tags.
That was already reported in xfce4-notify and banshee

I followed the PKGBUILD of banshee-git in AUR to fetch the code from git and grepped -r it to find that the code outputting those spans was in src/Extensions/Banshee.NotificationArea/Banshee.NotificationArea/NotificationAreaService.cs, lines 500 and 502:

            new_args[0] = String.Format ("<span color=\"{0}\" size=\"small\">",
                CairoExtensions.ColorGetHex (TextLightColor, false));
            new_args[1] = "</span>";

Since only , and are allowed (http://www.galago-project.org/specs/not … /x161.html) this should probably be changed to

            new_args[0] = String.Format ("<i>",
                CairoExtensions.ColorGetHex (TextLightColor, false));
            new_args[1] = "</i>";

However I could not test if this works, as the code failed to compile due to an unrelated error (happens when compiling the original code too).
This was reported to the maintainer of banshee-git in AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php? … mments=all

The issue was still bothering me, so I fixed it on my machine.
As banshee-git still fails to build, I used the stable 2.2 branch and applied the changes mentioned above (patch here).
