[Debian] Listen does not start

[Bronsky]

Hi there,

After an update of my Debian (Linux bronski 3.0.0-1-amd64 #1 SMP Sun Jul 24 02:24:44 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux
), I cannot start Listen anymore. Here is the message I get from the command line:

$ listen --debug 9

Hi,

Found a workaround here : http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=53637
Create the file [code]/usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.freedesktop.Notifications.service[/code]
with the following content
[code]
[D-BUS Service]
Name=org.freedesktop.Notifications
Exec=/bin/sh -c 'if [ ! -x /usr/lib/notification-daemon-1.0/notification-daemon ] || [ "$GDMSESSION" = guest-restricted ] || [ "$GDMSESSION" = gnome-classic-guest-restricted ] [ "$GDMSESSION" = default -a "$(basename `readlink /etc/alternatives/x-session-manager`)" = gnome-session ] || [ "$GDMSESSION" = ubuntu ] || [ "$GDMSESSION" = ubuntu-2d ]; then exec /usr/lib/notify-osd/notify-osd; else exec /usr/lib/notification-daemon-1.0/notification-daemon; fi'
[/code]
It works for me.
<3 Listen ;-)
