Hi. I'm running stable amd64 system and I had a bunch of upgrades recently. sw-notify-send stopped working for me. Unfortunately I can't figure out if upgrade is the cause. It throws error: "No D-Bus session bus process found" Both system-wide and user dbus processes are running. I installed libnotify and tried notify-send, it works fine. Thanks.
Please post your `emerge --info x11-misc/sw-notify-send' output too.

The same here (on x11-wm/awesome) tinynotify-send works fine, while sw-notify-send fails.

At some point uam had stopped to display notifications, but the I had noticed the error only after `uam-pmount`ing.
(In reply to comment #0) > I'm running stable amd64 system Hm, my stable system still works fine, as far as I remember. I'll try to do a bit of research, it's not fully up-to-date, maybe some info could be dug out.
I decided to check whether it's awesome's problem and confirmed the issue with i3 and qtnotifydaemon
(In reply to comment #13) > I decided to check whether it's awesome's problem and confirmed the issue > with i3 and qtnotifydaemon Hmm, could you remind me the version of sw-notify-send and libtinynotify-systemwide you're using? The topic still says '1.1' and I feel like I'm a bit lost here.
Everything latest from ~amd64: x11-libs/libtinynotify-systemwide-0.1 and x11-misc/sw-notify-send-1.2.1 Maybe it's time to update summary?

Hmm, do I understand correctly that the output and environment of yours is similar to the OP one? Anything else you can tell me to help me debug this? I'm getting a bit out of ideas...

Anything else you can tell me to help me debug this? > I'm getting a bit out of ideas... The error output is the same, can't really say for environment. I kind of hoped you'll tell me how to debug the issue, being the author :) I can compile debug version, or sample file, or do some bash magic to determine why sw-notify-send can't find session.

To be honest, the simplest thing that comes to my mind is 'strace -f'.
Created attachment 332926 [details] `strace -f sw-notify-send "Test"` output Here it is
I have a suspicion that your D-Bus instance simply doesn't have '--session' in its' command-line arguments. Could you paste: ps ax | grep dbus-daemon please?
% ps ax | grep dbus-daemon 1725 ? Ss 0:00 /usr/bin/dbus-daemon --system 3073 ? Ss 0:00 /usr/bin/dbus-daemon --fork --print-pid 5 --print-address 7 --session 17840 pts/3 S+ 0:00 grep --colour dbus-daemon % sw-notify-send "awesome" "is getting naughty" No D-Bus session bus process found

Next step: /proc/$PID/environ where $PID is pid of dbus-daemon with --session It is null-separated, so a bit hard to read. You need to find 'DISPLAY', 'XAUTHORITY', 'HOME'.

You need to find 'DISPLAY', > 'XAUTHORITY', 'HOME'. DISPLAY=:1 HOME=/home/sterkrig $XAUTHORITY is absent. Also it's absent in `env` output (run inside X terminal)
(In reply to comment #23) > DISPLAY=:1 > HOME=/home/sterkrig > > $XAUTHORITY is absent. Also it's absent in `env` output (run inside X > terminal) Please try the following from a root console (preferably on a tty): sudo -E -u sterkrig DISPLAY=:1 HOME=/home/sterkrig tinynotify-send test test This mostly resembles the way tinynotify sends system-wide notifications.

I switched to tty2, logged in as root and issued the command (worked silently with no error), then switched back to X session and saw a notification.

Does 'tinynotify-send -w test test' (without sudo) work directly on that terminal?
> Does 'tinynotify-send -w test test' (without sudo) work directly on that terminal? Nope, it doesn't work neither from root's tty2, nor from X terminal
So far, sterkrig has been able to fix it through re-emerging libtinynotify-systemwide. If anyone is able to reproduce it, please reopen.
