Customize / Dismiss Ubuntu Notifications

The first thing that freaked me out were Ubuntus undismissable and fading bubbles.

Use leoliks repo to install libnotify-bin.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:leolik/leolik 
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install libnotify-bin
pkill notify-osd

Now to notifyosdconfig. To configure the notifications you need to install this config tool by adding this repo:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:amandeepgrewal/notifyosdconfig

This repo is a bit outdated so the latest distribution which is currently working is utopic and you have to trust it manually.
You need to edit the file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/amandeepgrewal-ubuntu-notifyosdconfig-zesty.list

deb [trusted=yes] http://ppa.launchpad.net/amandeepgrewal/notifyosdconfig/ubuntu utopic main

Save it and run this:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install notifyosdconfig
