Listen music player doesn't lauch and banshee 100% CPU

[bananalassi]

32 bit listen 0.6.5-9 banshee 2.2.1-3

After the last upgrades the Listen music player doesn't launch any more. Starting it in a terminal produces this error:

listen
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "listen", line 213, in <module>

File "listen", line 131, in __init__

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

Banshee starts but the CPU load is constantly above 100%

Any idea how to fix this? I have no music player any more

Hi,

Found a workaround here : http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=53637
Create the file

Code: Select all

/usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.freedesktop.Notifications.service

with the following content

Code: Select all

[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'

It works for me.
