[Solved] Can't start/enbale xfce4-notifyd with systemctl

I noticed i can't start the daemon this way after a recent update. I get this error message when I try:

Failed to start xfce4-notifyd.service: Unit xfce4-notifyd.service not found.

I'm only able to start it by adding the manual command from the wiki to the autostart file (I use Openbox). Is this the correct way to start it now, or am I missing something?

Forgot "--user"?

See https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=258715

There is no systemd service file with the current version of the package in Arch. I am also using Openbox and had to edit the desktop file as mentioned above to get it to start.

Nah, copied it exactly as is from the wiki.

That's weird because my .desktop file still has the 'OnlyShowIn=XFCE' line and it still autostarts fine.

Are you starting it via a systemd service file or relying on the Openbox autostart (desktop file in /etc/xdg/autostart)?

You should edit the thread title and append SOLVED in case it's working for you though.

Starting it with the the openbox autostart, although it's from my ~/.config/openbox/autostart.
