444,Guake won't load after update...,thaenin,somebody,"I'm running Sabayon Linux with XFCE.  Guake has been perfect.  Today I installed several updates--careless equo upgrade.  I'm not sure what all changed.  Here is what happens when I run ""guake"" from a terminal:

$ guake
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File ""/usr/lib64/guake/guake.py"", line 1353, in <module>
    if not main():
  File ""/usr/lib64/guake/guake.py"", line 1296, in main
    instance = Guake()
  File ""/usr/lib64/guake/guake.py"", line 649, in __init__
    notification.show()
glib.GError: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.freedesktop.Notifications: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ChildExited: Process /usr/lib64/xfce4/notifyd/xfce4-notifyd exited with status 127

In my research I have discovered that similar problems have been seemingly due to various failures of notification features.  xfce4-notifyd has been implicated.  Notably, while xfce4-volumed is still working after the upgrade, its notification window is not showing up either.  So I suspect there is a root cause here.

My apologies if this is a bug better addressed elsewhere.  I am still relatively new to Linux and have been stumped by this problem.  I have become quite dependent on Guake and am anxious to have it working again.  I appreciate any efforts toward resolving this problem.

Thanks!",defect,closed,major,0.5.0,guake,,duplicate,,
