A patch that catches DBus exceptions when trying to activate services
This patch doesn't solve the core issue with not finding org.freedesktop.Notifications, it simply makes the exception not fatal. I checked in d-feet and org.freedesktop.Notifications does exist, so I'm not quite sure what the problem is there.
org.freedesktop.Notifications is provided by notification services (notification-daemon for GNOME -GNOME-Shell for F15?-, xfce4-notifyd for XFCE, whatever it is for KDE). Since Listen may be used on different desktops or with a mere windows manager, i can't hardcode that dependency into the package. The proper way would be to add a dependency on a D-Bus service but i'm not sure if it's actually feasible. The patch (attachment #500114 [details]) works for me and can be used as a temporary solution until a correct fix is prepared.
i'll import it tonight. listen-0.6.5-5.fc15 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 15. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/listen-0.6.5-5.fc15 Package listen-0.6.5-5.fc15: * should fix your issue, * was pushed to the Fedora 15 testing repository, * should be available at your local mirror within two days. Update it with: # su -c 'yum update --enablerepo=updates-testing listen-0.6.5-5.fc15' as soon as you are able to. Please go to the following url: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/listen-0.6.5-5.fc15 then log in and leave karma (feedback). listen-0.6.5-5.fc15 has been pushed to the Fedora 15 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. |
