Title: Mako: Failed to connect to bus and no notifications popups on Wayland
Post by: h3xo on 10 November 2023, 22:04:01

I recently switched from X to Wayland and I noticed, that I don't get any notifications via mako (Wayland notification daemon). It is written on their github, that I might need manually dbus by

Code: [Select]

dbus-daemon --session --address=unix:path=$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/bus

but my init starts dbus and creates (or dbus does it) "$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/dbus-1". Starting mako or makoctl in terminal results in

Code: [Select]

Failed to connect to bus: No such file or directory

, but using notify-send shows mako popup.

Is env var DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS set correctly?
