Wayland. But I just tried x11 and that didn’t help. Further tests showed that I need to enter BOTH a username and an expire time. Either alone doesn’t notify. I’m ok with entering those, but it’s probably not ideal for new users. ---

Hard to tell what the reason is. If you have time and will to do some testing, I’d suggest installing Titan into a **virtual machine** and see if notifications work there. Note that you _may_ need to install eos-reboot-recommended manually after install. And if it works in the virtual machine, then comparing packages, settings, etc. between the native and virtual install _should_ reveal the reason. ---

I just installed Titan and eos-reboot-recommended was not installed. ---

In Titan one needs to install eos-reboot-recommended manually. Note that not all users think reboot notification is a must have feature, that’s why it was removed from the dependency list of eos-bash-shared. ---

I installed Titan in a vm and eos-reboot-recommended was installed with it, I didn’t need to install manually. The notification occurred with no action on my part. The conf file didn’t exist until after the update. I have no idea what else to look at, so I’m resigned to editing the conf. It works that way. ---

OK, thanks for reporting it works in a VM. But the old way is useful if that behavior is what you can live with. ---
