lost notifications with upgrade from 0.6.4--->1.1.1 gentoo

thunderrd commented 10 years ago

coldfix, with this week's update in portage, I seem to have lost all notifications. However, udiskie does seem to mount/unmount properly, so no actual functionality is lost. I notice the dependency on notify-python is gone now, but I doubt that is the culprit here, because adding it with the new version does not change things. However, downgrading to 0.6.4 pulls in notify-python, and solves the issue.

I am running xmonad with trayer, and it has worked perfectly through several versions of udiskie, so the problem is related to the upgrade.

I've read the new documentation and tried passing -n as well. I notice that the notification daemon is 'optional'. What should I be using (libnotify is installed ATM), and does it require configuration? Nothing has been necessary in the past.

This is the bug I have filed in gentoo's bugzilla, but I don't know if it is an actual ebuild bug because of a forgotten dependency or just some new configuration that I have not done: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=519026

Hey, thanks for your well-written reports. According to your the line from gi.repository import Notify fails. This imports the replacement for python-notify. So, we will need to find out, why this import fails.

I don't know about any configuration that libnotify requires, I didn't do anything on my system. So here are my thoughts, what might have gone wrong:

one needs a notification daemon installed, if you don't have one, it will lead to errors. But in my experience these are delayed until a notification is tried to be shown, and also you say that it works with the old version which also needs a notification daemon, so this probably is not the issue
you might need another package to supply this module on your distribution? Which version of PyGObject do you have installed? I believe the 3.x branch is required.
the import might fail as long as X server isn't running. Can you check the output of udiskie -vn when running inside your window manager from a terminal? Is the line shown in your gentoo bug report executing from your .xinitrc and launched via startx?

Is there a package like gir1.2-notify-0.7 in your repositories? https://answers.launchpad.net/rb-fileorganizer/+question/181418

thunderrd commented 10 years ago

OK, one at a time:

1- virtual/notification-daemon is installed, and yes, I agree it is likely not the issue. But what are alternatives to notification-daemon package I can try?

2- pygobject-3.12.2

3- udiskie fails to import Notify when started in X as well:

4- no package for 'gir' in portage, but there are references that are in overlays which aren't supported.

thunderrd commented 10 years ago

Oh, and I forgot: yes, I use .xinitrc/startx

coldfix commented 10 years ago

Hey,

sounds like virtual/notification-daemon is a virtual package that is satisfied by any notification daemon, such as notify-osd, dunst, mate-notification-daemon or others. You can try one of those, but it will probably not help.
I have the same version, so this is not the problem either
So the problem is not, that the X server was not started, either.

It looks like there is still some package missing. I am not sure which, though. I will probably be able to do some more research tomorrow or on Thursday. If you figure it out in the meantime, even better :) Sorry for your trouble.

thunderrd commented 10 years ago

It's no trouble at all; udiskie works fine and mounts, and that is the important part.

I'll continue to look at it as I have time. If it turns out to be a missing package, I'll append the bug so the package maintainer fixes the ebuild.

coldfix commented 10 years ago

Do you have the following file (or similar) on your machine /usr/lib/girepository-1.0/Notify-0.7.typelib? (or lib64)

Update: According to http://www.portagefilelist.de/site/query/file that file is provided by x11-libs/libnotify which you say you have installed? So, I'm still confused whats causing that error..

Are you running udiskie as python2 or python3 a.t.m.? Maybe the other one works.

Looks like the gentoo package requires python-2.7, and it is forced by the ebuild, so basically, I can't compile with python 3:

OK, here is something. libnotify is built with USE="-introspection" and does not install any file similar to Notify-0.7.typelib. But, if the package is built with USE="introspection" there is some action:

Could this be what we are after? It's too late here to continue tonight but tomorrow I will check to see if building it with introspection use flag changes the behavior.

I'll email you a text file with both build logs, with and without the "introspection" use flag.

EDIT: Oops, can't do that without an address.
Get the logs here instead: http://pastebin.com/ij679ZWq

Looks promising! According to http://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/x11-libs/libnotify/libnotify-0.7.6.ebuild?view=markup the ebuild is with IUSE="+introspection" though. How does that lead to building with `USE="-introspection"? Did you have gobject-introspection installed before building libnotify? (As I have never used gentoo I don't know anything about its packaging system)

thunderrd commented 10 years ago

Introspection is a newish glib/gnome3 thing, and since I use only a wm and no DE I have the flag disabled globally. I have not needed it - possibly - until now. Tomorrow I will try adding it on a per-package basis to libnotify, build it and try out udiskie.

If it fixes the issue, then I guess the maintainer has to fix the ebuild to include libnotify (+introspection) as a dependency.

gobject-introspection is installed, yes, but only because gtk+ and a few other packages require it.

coldfix commented 10 years ago

Sounds plausible :)

If it fixes the issue, then I guess the maintainer has to fix the ebuild to include libnotify (+introspection) as a dependency.

... technically as an optional dependency, I guess.

Tell me if this works, I will definitely add remarks in the README, so maintainers can pick up on that.

OK, Thomas, that resolved the issue, and thank you for your input and help.

Building libnotify with USE="-introspection" prevents creation of Notify-0.7-typelib and Notify0.7.gir, and the notifications do not work.

On my machine, since the introspection use flag is disabled globally, libnotify was built without it. Adding it in as a per-package only flag for libnotify yields the tray icon and the notifications.

I will note this on the gentoo bug and point them to this thread. Hopefully they will make a change. There may not be too many folks with -introspection, but it would be good to have it in the README.

Now, one last question, how to disable the tray icon from showing?

coldfix commented 10 years ago

By default, the tray icon does not show. If you enabled it in your config file but want to disable it for one individual run, you can use the -T (--no-tray) flag. If you want it not to show when there is no external device, but appear when one is inserted, use the -s flag.

Yup, I saw that on the man page just now.

I've appended the gentoo bug, and directed them here in case they need any specifics.

Thanks for helping.

Hey, I added a short paragraph in the README, so hopefully the dependencies are now documented a little better. Thanks for your report and investigative work:)
