When starting the application on Xubuntu 11.04

When trying to start Wiican on Xubuntu 11.04 I get this:

Traceback (most recent call last):

dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.Notifications was not provided by any .service files

then it just closes.

It seems xfce desktop doesn't provide a freedesktop-compatible notification service.
This is weird but has to be fixed. Thanks for reporting

Which wiican version are you using for Xubuntu 10.04 ??
Where do you downloaded it?

[John (king-john-third)]

Tried the one from the PPA and from source (latest). Both have the same error.

[J. Félix Ontañón (fontanon)]

It seems to be related with the system-notify call.
I'll try on a Xubuntu 11.04 and tell you.
