However, i have no idea on how to disable the gnome notification daemon and enable Dunst. Where, and which are the following steps after installing Dunst?

Maybe [this question on askubutu](http://askubuntu.com/questions/472220/change-notification-daemon-on-14-04) helps. I myself just uninstalled the xfce4 notification daemon from my Xubuntu.Tue, 16 Dec 2014 13:31:28 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/5187/how-to-get-dunst-working/?comment=5188#comment-5188https://faq.i3wm.org/question/5187/how-to-get-dunst-working/?answer=5189#post-id-5189Here are the necessary steps that work for me: 1. Find out what the default notification daemon's name is (if you do not already know it) Here, a `ps aux | grep noti` might help. 2. Put the following command in your i3 config file to kill the default daemon every time i3 is started: `exec killall -q <notification daemon>`. 3. To start `dunst`, add to the config `exec --no-startup-id dunst -config <path-to-config>`. Leave the `-config ...` part if you want the default behaviour of `dunst`.Tue, 16 Dec 2014 13:40:53 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/5187/how-to-get-dunst-working/?answer=5189#post-id-5189
