[SOLVED]

I thinks it's duplicate with : Notify-osd notifications appear unthemed in top-left corner

I remember that this problem began when I install i3 window manager. Unfortunately i3 automatic install it's own notification daemon, dunst that "conflic" with notify-osd. So, I just have to uninstall i3 and all fixed.

sudo apt-get purge i3 i3-wm i3lock i3status dunst
sudo apt-get autoremove
killall dunst

Removing i3 to fix notification looks is almost as useful advice as installing Windows instead of Ubuntu if wifi driver does not work out of the box. – moon.musick Dec 29 '14 at 09:18

I'm guessing a package is missing. Try sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop, which should install any missing packages. If that doesn't fix it, maybe you disabled something in a config file or an autostart .desktop file.

I already done that, but still nothing change. – D. Prameswara Apr 28 '14 at 07:14
After doing it, log out and back in. Also, I have no idea what "I already reset my unity" means. – Apr 28 '14 at 07:15
I installed gnome-shell and notification working. T Think it's Unity's problem – D. Prameswara Apr 28 '14 at 07:15
I already logout, restart and shutdown. Nothing change. – D. Prameswara Apr 28 '14 at 07:16
Ok, try `sudo aptitude purge ~nunity` and then install `ubuntu-desktop` again. If that doesn't help, try deleting any unity config files in your homedir (probably in `~/.config/unity` or something like that). – Apr 28 '14 at 07:16
~nunity ? sudo aptitude purge unity ? – D. Prameswara Apr 28 '14 at 07:21
`~nunity` marks all packages with "unity" in the name (run `man aptitude` and press `/~` and then press Enter). `unity` is probably a metapackage, so purging it would do nothing. Just run the command I gave you. :) – Apr 28 '14 at 07:23
OK, I will try that. – D. Prameswara Apr 28 '14 at 07:24
I already uninstall ubuntu-desktop unity notify-osd, and reinstall it, but still not luck. It's already frustrate me. – D. Prameswara Apr 28 '14 at 07:43
Ok, make a new user account, log in as that user, and test it again. If it works, you'll know there's some configuration file that's causing the problem. – Apr 28 '14 at 09:13
still no luck. I create new user, try guest user and all just the same. – D. Prameswara Apr 29 '14 at 02:32
