# 5.52. System Notification

KDE, like all applications, needs to inform the user when a problem occurs, a task is completed, or something has happened. KDE uses a set of "System Notifications" to keep the user informed on what is happening.

Using this module, you can determin what KDE does to communicate each event.

The panel consists of a large list of specific events which need to be communicated to the user. This list is organized into a tree, so that you can rapidly find the notification you are looking for.

To configure a notification, simply click on a group, which will open up a subgroup. You can click on subgroups, which may lead to more subgroups, or it may lead to a list of notifications.

Once you have found the notification you are looking for, double-click on the notification.

You will be presented with 4 options:

Log to file

  This will tell KDE to add the notification to the end of a file. Once you place a mark in front of this option, you can enter a filename at the bottom of the module. If you click on the folder to the right of the blank, you can browse through your filesystem and select the file you want.

Play sound

  When this notification is activated, KDE will play a sound. Once you place a mark in front ofthis option, you can enter a filename at the bottom of the module.

  If you click on the folder to the right of the blank, you can browse through your filesystem and select the file you want.

  By clicking the arrow button to the right of the folder button, you can hear the sound.

  | Currently, you can only play `.wav` files. This will likely change in future releases.

Show message box

  When this notification is activated, a message box appears in the middle of the screen to inform the user of the message..

Standard error output

  When this notification is activated, the message is sent to the standard output.

| You are not limited to choosing one option, you can use any combination of these four options for each notification.
