Seamonkey: console.error: gnotifier: Notification API init has failed!

[CamilleScholtz]

I don't know why or or how, I have libnotify installed.

[mkiol]

Thanks for reporting it.

Could you please provide me:

• Which Linux DE?
• Seamonkey version
• GNotifier version

[CamilleScholtz]

• OpenBox, using libnotify to send notifactions
• 2.49.1 (build4, this is a beta release, https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/seamonkey/candidates/2.49.1-candidates/build4/)
• 1.11.0

Here is XPI with more debug logs enabled. Try it and capture console output.

What exact libnotify version is installed in your system?
Where libnotify is installed (path+filename)?

[CamilleScholtz]

0.7.7
-rwxr-xr-x root/root usr/bin/notify-send

[CamilleScholtz]

https://github.com/passff/passff-host/issues/71 Seems related

[mkiol]

I can't reproduce this issue so far :-(

It looks like SeaMonkey is able to load libnotify.so but, for some reason, is not able to call notify_get_server_info function...

Where libnotify.so is installed in your system? In my case lib is located under /usr/lib64/.

It might be possible I didn't build my SeaMonkey with the right flags, I tried rebuilding with dbus support enabled, but that didn't change anything.
