Yes, I'll update this PKGBUILD once pacman-4.2 hits core; Meanwhile if you're already using it you can either use kalu-git or e.g. this PKGBUILD[1] to install kalu 3.0.0 [1] https://github.com/jjk-jacky/abs/tree/master/kalu

Hi,@jjacky, i have seen that there is a new version of kalu (git) supporting pacman=> 4.2.x, a simple question, when pacman 4.2 update, now in testing, you will update this kalu (non git)? Regards.

Yes it's a known issue with GTK+ 3.14, you can either apply the workaround[1] manually, or simply switch to kalu-git to use the latest dev version, where this has been fixed already. [1] https://github.com/jjk-jacky/kalu/issues/20

I've got huge icons in the drop-down menu (about 44 px). Should probably be half the size (seeing the blank between each line). I've tried several gtk2/3 theme or icon theme: nothing change.

Of course, I should have thought of that, as knotify4 or indeed kdebase-runtime, is not listed as one of the packages providing notification-daemon. I'll open a bug report for it. Thanks!

kalu uses libnotify, and a notification daemon is required for notifications to actually be shown, etc This is why in the PKGBUILD you find a dependency on notification-daemon -- Now usually when you install another one (other than package notification-daemon), e.g. xfce4-notifyd, it will provide notification-daemon, to handle such dependencies. So I'd say it seems that this might be a packaging issue on kdebase-runtime, which should have such a provide; you might try and report that. Meanwhile, you could e.g. ignore the dependency on install, install an empty package depending on kdebase-runtime and providing notification-daemon (that should "fix" your dependency issue), or simply remove that dependency from kalu's PKGBUILD, and it should work fine.

This is by far the best upgrade notifier for Arch Linux, thanks! It works beautifully on a number of MATE desktops, but on all my KDE machines the installer want to install a notification daemon, even though knotify4 is installed as part of kdebase-runtime. Can kalu not communicate directly with knotify4?

Well, it's not really a choice but more that I haven't looked into using systemd to manager user sessions yet (and I believe this is still a work in progress at this point). It might eventually happen...
