[solved] screenlets

I'm trying to run "screenlets" from AUR.
Installation seemed to run fine.
However, it does not seem to work.
Here's the messege I get:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/screenlets/screenletsd.py", line 493, in <module>
    service = ScreenletsService(bus_name)
  File "/usr/share/screenlets/screenletsd.py", line 232, in __init__
    self.__NOTIFY_BUS, self.__NOTIFY_OBJ), self.__NOTIFY_IFACE)

Re: [solved] screenlets

Kind of looks like something with dbus isn't working quite right. Are you sure dbus-python is installed (it is only written in the depend line, not makedepend, so I guess it would be possible to force the make-progress even with that missing) and that dbus is running?
If it's not that then drop the author to that PKGBUILD a line on AUR and maybe try checking out go-compiz.org to look for other dependencies that are missing in the PKGBUILD.

Solved it:

Should have started notification-daemon.

Thanks Denis

Yes it is.  Why are you asking?
