There are some older messages about this problem but they seem to have been resolved. I stopped getting the reboot notification maybe a week ago, don’t know for sure when. Besides the service, which is enabled, and the hooks, which seem to be in place, what else can I look at to troubleshoot? My …

@MrSmartepants , see here (and my response after @manuel ’s)… [image] EndeavourOS Notification Applications Made some changes to eos-reboot-recommended version 26-1: It supports automatic closing of the notification after a user-defined time. This requires use…

This one is about the notification hanging around. My problem is that it doesn’t show up. But thanks!

Have you checked the file that it mentions to make sure that it is set to show up?

eos-reboot-recommended.conf? Just defaults there. Just noticed that the hook target (eos-reboot-required2) has this line: [ “$EOS_REBOOT_RECOMMENDING” = “no” ] && return 0 but eos-script-lib-yad.conf has EOS_REBOOT_RECOMMENDING=yes I don’t know if that’s a contradiction, or which one rules. v…

IIRC that package got removed the last time I ran sudo pacman -Rns $(pacman -Qdtq) (using this command as alias for orphan).

So what is the solution? My .conf files have the same options you listed, yet I don’t get reboot notifications either. I remember I used to get notifications for reboot, but something changed a few weeks/months ago and now that notification is no longer active.

The package showed up on my orphan list so I used pacman to mark as explicitly installed, problem solved :grin: sudo pacman -D --asexplicit eos-reboot-recommended

So the takeaway seems to be that the new conf file with its defaults doesn’t produce the notification. Adding a user and a expire time makes it work. At least that’s how it is for me. I was happy the way it worked pre-26.1, and just assumed that the defaults would continue to work.

Well what I did was removing the orphan package assuming it was a old version, than I noticed the package was not installed anymore just installing the package again made it work with the default settings. To be honest I also was happy with the package as it was too. But a certain someone wasn’t and…

Thanks for the reports! I’ll look into it during the following days.

Guys, made some minor changes to eos-reboot-recommended, new version is 26.2-1. Please test it and report. Note that you probably want to check if the changes in file /etc/eos-reboot-recommended.conf.pacnew need merging to your /etc/eos-reboot-recommended.conf. For example: sudo meld /etc/eos-re…
