Troubleshooting
org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply
GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Message recipient disconnected from message bus without replying
To resolve the above error, if you are using dbus-run-session wrapper to launch sway, set D-Bus variables by adding the following line to sway config file:
exec dbus-update-activation-environment WAYLAND_DISPLAY XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=sway
Failed to acquire service name
daemon.err mako: Failed to acquire service name: File exists daemon.err mako: Is a notification daemon already running?
Todo: The above message appears in /var/log/messages randomly, but no cause is found yet. Please update here, if reason and resolution is found. Earlier attempts at naming the mako service executable file as
org.freedesktop.Notifications did not make any difference.
