Description Dylan McCall 2011-07-09 16:10:59 UTC 
gnome-disk-utility shows a notification when a hard drive is failing. The notification is blindly given actions regardless of server support. Instead, the application should use org.freedesktop.Notifications.GetCapabilities (http://www.galago-project.org/specs/notification/0.9/x408.html#command-get-capabilities) to determine if the needed server capabilities are available. If they are not available, it should present its own dialog box, specifically designed for the task at hand.

This bug is particularly visible downstream in Ubuntu: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-disk-utility/+bug/807797

As of gnome-disk-utility 3.4 everything was rewritten to use udisks2 and GDBus. Since this bug is for an old version, closing with resolution OBSOLETE.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug.
However, you are using a version that is too old and not supported anymore. GNOME developers are no longer working on that version, so unfortunately there will not be any bug fixes for the version that you use.

By upgrading to a newer version of GNOME you could receive bug fixes and new functionality. You may need to upgrade your Linux distribution to obtain a newer version of GNOME.
Please feel free to reopen this bug if the problem still occurs with a newer version of GNOME.
