Description Michal Plichta 2013-09-18 16:41:50 UTC 
arista doesn't transcode when I set conversion: file, destination and device preset and click create, I got (on terminal):

No accelerated IMDCT transform found 
Traceback (most recent call last): 
  File "/usr/bin/arista-gtk-python2.7", line 665, in on_queue_entry_error 
    notice.show() 
glib.GError: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.Notifications was not provided by any .service files

See: https://github.com/danielgtaylor/arista/issues/158

Should ebuild push x11-misc/notification-daemon or virtual/notification-daemon?
Comment 1 Michal Plichta 2013-09-19 15:01:44 UTC 
Some more details i have installed:
------------- CUT -------------
# eix -I notifi
[I] virtual/notification-daemon
     Available versions:  0 {gnome}
     Installed versions:  0(06:37:00 PM 01/18/2012)(-gnome)
     Description:         Virtual for notification daemon dbus service

[I] x11-libs/startup-notification
     Available versions:  0.10 0.12 {static-libs}
     Installed versions:  0.12(03:16:23 PM 07/02/2012)(-static-libs)
     Homepage:            http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/startup-notification
     Description:         Application startup notification and feedback library
------------- CUT -------------
I've check virtual/notification-daemon ebuild:
------------- CUT -------------
RDEPEND="
        gnome? ( || ( x11-misc/notification-daemon
                gnome-base/gnome-shell ) )
        !gnome? ( || ( x11-misc/notification-daemon
                xfce-extra/xfce4-notifyd
                x11-misc/qtnotifydaemon
                x11-misc/notify-osd
                x11-misc/dunst
                >=x11-wm/awesome-3.4.4
                x11-wm/enlightenment[enlightenment_modules_notification]
                x11-wm/enlightenment[e_modules_notification]
                kde-base/knotify ) )"
------------- CUT -------------

so from the list I had earlier awesome installed as well.
From issue 158 on github arista I got suggestion to install notify-osd, so I did, and this time arista printout this:
------------- CUT -------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/arista-gtk-python2.7", line 665, in on_queue_entry_error
    notice.show()
glib.GError: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.freedesktop.Notifications: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ChildSignaled: Process /usr/lib64/notify-osd/notify-osd received signal 5
------------- CUT -------------
Comment 2 Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev 2013-10-13 13:57:38 UTC 
Try with x11-misc/notification-daemon
Comment 3 Harrie Hoogeveen 2014-10-15 21:54:32 UTC 
I get the same error with guake and pynotify scripts:

glib.GError: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.Notifications was not provided by any .service files

So I think its a genral issue with notifications sinds a recent update.
Comment 4 Harrie Hoogeveen 2014-10-15 22:02:00 UTC 
I solved the issue by merging x11-misc/notification-daemon. It think this is removed by depclean after some recent gnome updates.
Comment 5 Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev 2016-02-18 10:51:29 UTC 
I would treeclean this in favor of more modern alternatives (like handbrake for example) as this also relies on completely dead libs libs gstreamer-0.10, gconf, the old pygobject slot...
