The Angry Drunk

This amused me. Apparently Ubuntu Linux now fea­tures a system-wide noti­fi­ca­tion frame­work inspired by the Growl project from Mac OS X. Unlike Growl, though, Ubuntu’s noti­fi­ca­tions are bound to the upper-right cor­ner of the screen, which appar­ently vexes some peo­ple. Not to worry though! Lifehacker comes to the res­cue with a post link­ing to the Ubuntu Forums. All you have to do is fol­low the sim­ple advice to move the noti­fi­ca­tions to the bottom-left cor­ner. There is one lit­tle caveat though:

The fix requires down­load­ing and installing the source code for the noti­fi­ca­tions, and might require deal­ing with addi­tional depen­dency instal­la­tions if you get back errors on try­ing to install the source code.

Oh Linux, you crazy bas­tard, don’t you ever go chang­ing on me.
