Pc to ubuntu forwarding

[mumrah]

Is it possible to forward growl notifications from my windows pc to a pc running ubuntu?

I searched the topics but did not see any entries regarding this topic.

You would need a GNTP-capable app on Ubuntu to receive the notifications. I haven't used it, but there is a ‘Growl for Linux’ that you could try. Here was a link I found that detailed the installation instructions - try it out and let us know if you get it working: http://karmanebula.com/technically-borked/2012/1/1/install-growl-for-linux-and-gntp-send-on-ubuntu-1110.html

I've been using mumbles with ubuntu, BUT:

• It's a dead project.
• It uses Growl UDP notifications (not a problem with GFW -- I'm just mentioning this).
  
• It has a message limit of just below 8192 bytes.  A message larger than this gets silently dropped (because the entire message packet isn't read, the checksum fails, and so mumbles thinks that the message is invalid/has a bad password).  I haven't bothered to see if that's a Growl UDP protocol limitation, or if that's a mumbles bug.
  
• It needs tweaking to work.  It contains hard-coded paths to python (which can be incorrect for Ubuntu), and makes assumptions as to where it's installed (e.g., /usr/share/mumbles).
• I did tweak the popup display code, but I've forgotten if the changes were necessary.  I don't remember why I made them, and looking at the diffs doesn't trigger any memories.  I do have a bug where un-timed-out/un-acknowledged  popups will simply scroll off the top of the screen, instead of wrapping around into multiple vertical columns.  I haven't checked to see if I introduced that bug or not.  Because of this, I do have to periodically restart mumbles.  I just keep a terminal window around where I run mumbles in the foreground; then, periodically, I just Ctrl-C and restart it.  Ugly, but it works for me.

Thanks for the response Brian.

I'll try to get this installed and working and let you know.
