That service file isn't right. It should be: [D-BUS Service] Name=org.freedesktop.Notifications Exec=/usr/bin/dunst SystemdService=dunst.service As it is on my system, for dunst-1.9.1. Your service file looks like one that might have been installed via Flatpak? Did you install dunst using `emerge`?

Did you also test 1.9.2?

I have not(In reply to Conrad Kostecki from comment #4) > Did you also test 1.9.2? i have, it seems i have to start it with sway, and i think the reason is because dusnt requires an active wayland display to start. I'm starting sway from tty1
Well, in this case, I don't see, what I could do here. The ebuild just install dunst, but starting is managed by the user. I would recommend to open a ticket for upstream in this case.
