notifications problem after detach

[Martin Koelewijn]

Issue: run byobu, try: << notify-send "test" >> and it will work. Now detach, logout and back in, run byobu -x and try to notify-send again, I get: "libnotify-Message: Unable to get session bus: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-Ihg2aBjYyI: Connection refused"
Expected: working notifications (I use them in irssi; otherwise notifications from a terminal wouldn't be a big deal of course).
Settings: ubuntu 9.10 desktop i386; also (if it matters) e17 window manager (svn 43487) with ecomorph.

Maybe this is a problem in dbus or notify-send or even e17 or ecomorph, but I wouldn't know how to check on that.

To file the bug I found out about this repo, so I installed 2.39-0ubuntu1~ppa4 but the problem persists (I had the current karmic package, 2.38-0ubuntu3).

Thanks for the report. I suspect I'll need to solve in a similar manner to how I solve the ssh socket issue.

This bug was fixed in the package byobu - 2.40-0ubuntu1

---------------
byobu (2.40-0ubuntu1) lucid; urgency=low

  * bin/updates_available, statusrc: move the color coding out to the config
    file
  * byobu-config, byobu.1, po/*, profiles/common,
    profiles_generator/profile.skel, rpm/byobu.spec, statusrc:
    - add an apport hook, LP: #485380
  * bin/apport: improve the formatting of the detailed output to
    suggest installing apport if necessary
  * debian/control: suggest apport
  * bin/apport, bin/battery, bin/cpu_freq, bin/disk, bin/ec2_cost,
    bin/fan_speed, bin/hostname, bin/ip_address, bin/load_average,
    bin/logo, bin/mail, bin/mem_available, bin/mem_used, bin/menu,
    bin/network, bin/processes, bin/reboot_required, bin/release,
    bin/temp_c, bin/temp_f, bin/updates_available, bin/uptime, bin/users,
    bin/whoami, bin/wifi_quality statusrc: define a set of color variables,
    such that it's easier to make these theme-able
  * windows/common: suggest w3m rather than elinks
  * byobu-status, profiles/common, profiles_generator/profile.skel,
    statusrc: obviate the need for separate profiles per color; read the
    profile colors from a config file, and use a special "color" status
    item to dynamically render it
  * bin/menu: add a space to the -r test, LP: #490894
  * profiles_generator/profile.skel: use the reverse color for the current
    window highlighting; works better with odd color combinations, maximizes
    contrast
  * byobu-status: separate COLOR into FOREGROUND and BACKGROUND; more
    flexibility
  * byobu-config, byobu-select-profile: rework to independently select
    background color and foreground color, rather than profile; improve text
  * debian/install, debian/rules, profiles/common,
    profiles_generator/generate, profiles_generator/profile.skel,
    rpm/byobu.spec: get rid of the generated profiles; now, everything is
    handled by FOREGROUND and BACKGROUND colors, dynamically
  * byobu-janitor: clean up old ~/.byobu/profile symlinks; guess the user's
    colors and set them in ~/.byobu/colors; ensure that profile gets linked
    to the common one
  * byobu-select-profile, byobu-select-profile.1: deprecate the --set
    option, only support --background and --foreground now; update the
    documentation
  * debian/profile: establish symlinks for the color profiles to ensure
    smooth upgrades; all point to the common profile now
  * byobu-config, statusrc: enable whoami, hostname, ip_address by default;
    it seems I almost *always* turn these on, seem useful; re-disable if
    there are noisy complaints
  * byobu-janitor, statusrc: seed the ~/.byobu/status file with the
    default values, making it easier for users to customize themselves
  * bin/custom, byobu-config, byobu.1, profiles/common, rpm/byobu.spec,
    statusrc: add support for a custom status script indicator
  * byobu-config, byobu-select-profile: make color selection more readable;
    support ctrl-<space> escape sequence
  * bin/custom, byobu-status: support --detail in custom scripts
  * byobu-export, byobu-config:
    - comprehensively rewritten, basically put all of byobu's installed
      files in ~/.byobu, and use...

Thanks for working on this. I can't try the fix because byobu 2.40 or 2.41 doesn't run on karmic (exits with error but without messages, so I don't know what to fix). I'll hopefully enjoy the improvements on lucid then...

[Martin Koelewijn (vcoolio)]

Hi, I installed byobu 2.43-0ubuntu1~ppa4 and this one works. But the issue is the same:
libnotify-Message: Unable to get session bus: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-Vmbvq6Wjxr: Connection refused

If you need more info than I gave on the original bug report, let me know. You understood I was talking about logout and back into an x session, and then byobu -x, right? I may not have been clear on that.
Thanks in advance for investigating.

[Dustin Kirkland  (kirkland)]

Okay, then I don't know how to solve this problem.

Patches welcome.

[Martin Koelewijn (vcoolio)]

Probably it didn't work because of some ubuntu / dbus configuration; in archlinux it works fine. Thanks.
