• I've read the Regolith documentation and didn't find any relevant topic

Describe the bug
A clear and concise description of what the bug is.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Install regolith on ubuntu following the official guide, and add regolith-session-sway

Remove regolith-rofication and add dunst or sway-notification-center

After another login on sway, the rofication bell turns into a red bell and indicates an error. On the flashback-session, the rofication-icon has been removed with the i3xrocks-rofication package, but the broken rofication bell stays in the sway-session

Expected behavior
A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.

I would expect the bell to disappear also in sway when i3xrocks-rofication is removed.

Configuration file(s)
Please attach or mention any customization you've done to configuration files which might have an impact on the bug you are describing. It'll help us determine the root cause of your issue.

It is a clean install, no further modifications were made. I already noticed this half a tear ago when I installed regolith at work, but there I ended up having to use the flashback session for other reasons. Now that I made another clear install at home using the sway session, the same issue returned.

Installation Details

• Regolith Install Stage: stable
• Regolith Version: 3.2
• Host OS: [e.g. Ubuntu, Debian, etc] Linux Mint 22, which is based on Ubuntu 24.04, same issue on plain Ubuntu 24.04

Hi @fjellvannet , if you have regolith-rofication installed, try removing that. Check to see if other rofication packages might be installed with apt list | grep rofication

I now did another clean install of ubuntu 24.04 and then added regolith in a vm, just like the guide here: https://regolith-desktop.com/docs/using-regolith/install/ suggests.

I then removed regolith-rofication, and logged out and back in.

The screenshot shows the not removed i3xrocks-icon (even though i3xrocks-rofication has been removed). When it is clicked, an error message is displayed, see here:

This error message appears after only removing all rofication packages, but also when the sway-notifcation-center is installed. The sway notification center works as inteded (see last screenshot). In the flashback-session rofication is gone, but it stays in the sway-session.

Oh, I think I understand what's going on now @fjellvannet . In sway we do not (yet) have the same level of integration w/ the bar widgets due to lack of conf.d support in i3status-rs. You'll need to manually edit your i3status-rs config file to remove the config snippet for rofication. The file is /etc/regolith/i3status-rust/config.toml and here is the lines you should remove: https://github.com/regolith-linux/i3status-rs_debian/blob/ubuntu/v0.22.0/config.toml#L32-L35

You need to reload your WM session for the change to take effect. More information about this configuration file is available here: https://github.com/greshake/i3status-rust
