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…

I installed EOS on another computer today using the Titan ISO, and the package eos-reboot-recommended was missing for no apparent reason. If it hasn’t been replaced by something else, you should install it: sudo pacman -S eos-reboot-recommended

I think some changes where made to it a few days ago (I must be going blind because I was just looking at the thread, I’ll see if I can find it again)

[image] EndeavourOS Notification Applications Can this message gets auto removed after lets say 10 seconds or something ? [Schermafdruk_20260315_193959] It just stays there unless i remove it. [Schermafdruk_20260315_194240]

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I used to get notifications for reboot, but something changed a few weeks/months ago and now that notification is no longer active.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
