How can I read the User messages? [Solved]

[jwhitmor]

Hello,
Fresh install of Mageia 4 64 bit, in use for 48 hours, and all recent updates installed as of 11-08-2014. I also installed nano, and gvfs-smb. When I have the "lock" overlay screen displayed, there is a system notification that: "s2u has two new messages". I did my homework, but found out very little aboput s2u, except that it is used to transfer selected dmesg system messages, to the user message account. I have not be able to locate information on the correct way to display the messages generated so that I can read them. I am sure it is simple, but I don't know where or exactly what to look for.
Thanks for the help and the great distro,
J.W.

What desktop environment do you use?

What happens when you run the following command, do you get a notification popup?

Code: Select all

notify-send -i icon title message

I am running Gnome (3) Desktop.

Code: Select all

[root@desktop jim]# notify-send -i icon title message
bash: notify-send: command not found

I did not get a pop-up message.

Please install

Code: Select all

libnotify

and try again.

I installed libnotify, and repeated the test. It did generate a popup, "Title Message".
My guess is, I will now get the s2u messages displayed by clicking on the notification popup.
I will wait a bit and see what happens.

When I am displaying workspace one, there is a notification tab (screen bottom) that allows me to access the messages. They are mostly MSEC messages, about daily security check logs, and nofications of new storage devices mounted by the file system.
I think that is all we should need.
Thank You!
