[Solved] Chromium org.freedesktop error on startup

Hi all,

have been running into issues with chromium/ inox lately. On launch, which takes very, very long, I get the following message:

ERROR:object_proxy.cc(626)] Failed to call method: org.freedesktop.Notifications.GetCapabilities: object_path= /org/freedesktop/Notifications: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.

Said problem was also discussed here, but no solution was given. ( https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=234254 )

Any ideas? Help would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers!

Re: [Solved] Chromium org.freedesktop error on startup

The solution in the linked thread was to add a notification handler. What environment are you running in? Do you have a notification server set up? If you have one, what does your session in general look like? What is the output of

loginctl show-session $XDG_SESSION_ID

Re: [Solved] Chromium org.freedesktop error on startup

Thanks for the quick reply.

Output looks as follows:

Id=c2
User=1000
Name=paul
Timestamp=Fri 2018-04-06 14:21:09 CEST
TimestampMonotonic=9211322
VTNr=1
Seat=seat0
Display=:0
Remote=no
Service=sddm
Desktop=KDE
Scope=session-c2.scope
Leader=463
Audit=0
Type=x11
Class=user
Active=yes
State=active
IdleHint=no
IdleSinceHint=0
IdleSinceHintMonotonic=0
LockedHint=no

Might be important to note that I am not using any of the GUI elements of KDE on my Desktop. Only have Latte Dock and that's it. Do the rest via the search function. I am not sure whether that would affect the built in notifcation server, I would assume not.

Many thanks!

Mhm but that matches the reports in the other thread. Try to add a notification widget somewhere and/or check if lattedock provides a setting to show notifications.

In general for the future when posting command line output, please wrap it in [ code ] tags. That said that output looks fine, so the session in general is set up correctly.

Ok, fixed the tag situation.

Also, added a notification widget on the desktop which seems to solve the problem. What does the notification widget actually do? Is there a possibility for having it running in the background without actually having the widget flying arount?

Many thanks!

Add it to a panel or use sth. like "pacman -S dunst"

Ok, so it looks like I solved it. Didn't need any panels or dunst, thanks for the suggestions anyway (it worked with dunst too)!

As so often, the ArchWiki did the trick ( https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/De … Standalone ).

I added the

org.freedesktop.Notifications.service

with the following content

[D-BUS Service]
Name=org.freedesktop.Notifications
Exec=/usr/lib/notification-daemon-1.0/notification-daemon

in

/usr/share/dbus-1/services

To my understanding this tells the dbus.service to launch the/ a notification daemon.

I am not sure whether this is the actual solution, since inox/ chromium still give me the errors on startup, but opening them now doesn't take ages anymore but is as quick as it used to be!

Many thanks!
