What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? footpedal_0.4 / ubuntu 11.10

Please provide any additional information below. I've tried with sudo/ with no sudo; the package python-notify is correctly installed

I'm having this same issue. Any chance there will be an update soon?

I reproduce this same issue on Ubuntu 12.04

It did not work on a Dell 11z with Ubuntu 12.04

I've got it to launch on Ubuntu 12.04 by commenting out following code below from file "footpedal". I don't know what function I now loose. It now works for default options set up. I can't seem to add new options.

Check whether your notification agent support

    # icon-summary-body layout.
    # self.pynotify_supported = pynotify.init("icon-summary-body")
    # if self.pynotify_supported:
    #   self.reusable_notification = pynotify.Notification(
    #               "You have a mail",
    #               "You have new e-mail from Milinda",
    #               "notification-message-email")

self.reusable_notification.attach_to_status_icon(self.app_window.my_status_icon)

self.reusable_notification.set_urgency(pynotify.URGENCY_LOW) # Doesn't do anything

self.reusable_notification.set_timeout(1000) # Doesn't do anything
