guake traceback error

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/guake/guake.py", line 1353, in <module>
    if not main():
  File "/usr/lib/guake/guake.py", line 1296, in main
    instance = Guake()
  File "/usr/lib/guake/guake.py", line 649, in __init__
    notification.show()
glib.GError: Unable to connect to server

only thing I can think is that it came from my installing some lib32 packages, because it worked until the point I did that and rebooted... I did a pretty big update as well, but can't see this package being corrupted by that (but I could be wrong)...tried reinstalling and running, but still no go... any help would be appreciated...

Re: guake traceback error

solved:

according to this post: http://us.generation-nt.com/answer/bug- … 75771.html
the problem is due to libnotify that, starting from version 0.5 has changed a few things on how the processes have to send the messages to the notification server. It seems that the guake version in the repository (that I suppose is the last available) still doesn't support the new libnotify message format.
Therefore, to temporarily solve the issue you can remove the current version of libnotify with:

pacman -Rd libnotify

then go to /var/cache/pacman/pkg

and do something similar to:

pacman -U libnotify-0.4.5-1.1-i686.pkg.tar.gz

(hoping that you still have a pre 0.5 version of libnotify)

then add in pacman.conf libnotify to the list of packages you _don't_ want to be updated and wait for a new version of guake to come out that solves this issue.

bye!

Re: guake traceback error

People using xfce4, the solution for me was installing xfce4-notifyd.

Re: guake traceback error

can't label this solved JUST yet... I haven't had the chance to do the fix myself and test it... so give me a few days and I'll get back to this thread after I've gotten my store open...

Re: guake traceback error

I use xfce4 so installed this xfce-notifyd. Do not reboot yet.

But for the others looking for old libnotify below v0.5 take from here:
http://arm.konnichi.com/2010/10/15/extr … pkg.tar.gz

I want to give Guake a try, because Yakuake became so slow.

Re: guake traceback error

I was wrong. Downgrading does not help.

pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/libnotify-0.7.4-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
ldconfig

Guake has some problems with F12 binding, so try any F? instead.

Now it is faster than a blade!

Re: guake traceback error

Recent update to notify-osd.

Same bug posted on Guake's bugtracker here http://guake.org/ticket/423

Installing notify-osd from AUR fixed.
