| 2017-01-24 |  | | Doesn't work (I'm on Arch) | |
| 2016-11-04 |  | | Broken and outdated. The worst thing about this extension is that it prevents the desktop notifications from showing altogether. | |
| 2016-10-23 |  | | Needs updating. The extension works fine once you fix it on your own. See: http://askubuntu.com/questions/465727/activate-chrome-native-notifications for help. | |
| 2016-05-23 |  | | I've looked at the code and having developed a similar extension I think it should work. However I will not install some random binary and I did not care to compile the C stuff myself. Why not have some simple python script instead, which could be easily verified and be much shorter, too? | |
| 2016-05-18 |  | | Tried in Fedora 23, with dev packages installed and after discovering the "host" part that needed done. It didn't work at all. When going to pages that should request authorization, that authorization request never shows up. Disable the extension and they do. Chrome notifications suck, and I was hoping this was going to be the answer to merge it into the OS, but it didn't work for me. | |

| 2015-08-28 | A Google user | | I actually got this to work on Arch Linux & Chromium 44, but sadly it cannot intercept Chrome notifications created by extensions. To be fair, the author does say "this catches Chrome Webkit notifications from webpages" and my short-sightedness is my own. If someone does have a need for web notifications then here's how I got this working: * Make sure libcurl and json-c is installed (and their -dev packages if your distro likes to split them up) In invoke_notify.c: * add #include <stdint.h> under the string.h line * remove the "json/" part from the relevant #include line * Build with: gcc -march=native -O2 -pipe -fstack-protector-strong --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -o invoke_notify `pkg-config --cflags --libs libnotify json-c libcurl` invoke_notify.c * Open com.initiated.chrome_libnotify_notifications.json and change the extension ID already in there to gphchdpdmccpjmpiilaabhpdfogeiphf * Get a root shell If using chromium: TARGET=/etc/chromium/native-messaging-hosts/ Chrome: TARGET=/etc/opt/chrome/native-messaging-hosts * mkdir -p $TARGET * cd $TARGET * copy com.initiated.chrome_libnotify_notifications.json and invoke_notify into target * edit com.initiated.chrome_libnotify_notifications.json and replace HOST_PATH with $TARGET/invoke_notify (perform the expansion manually in your mind) * make sure the $TARGET directory has 755 permission and is owned by root:root, the json file is 644 and owned by root:root and the invoke_notify binary 755 and root:root | |
