2 years ago Thank you for the bug report! I have seen the same thing a couple times after running dunst for a while, but i dont do that often, so I haven't looked into it yet. I dont think th pause function is at fault here, but instead something wayland-specific.
There are a few things you can do to provide more debug information. The first is looking at what dunstctl count displayed returns. I expect dunst will think it is displaying a notification.
The second is more likely to give some information. Try running dunst with WAYLAND_DEBUG=1. This will show all wayland actions being performed, so we know if dunst is sending a surface out.
The third thing you can do is running the X11 version of dunst with force_xwayland=true.
Thank you for your time and I hope we can fix this issue

Issue description
I have recently switched from mako to dunst due to https://github.com/emersion/mako/issues/404, and dunst was working quite well for me until after a couple days of runtime
dunststopped showing notifications too!I'm not entirely sure at this point if this is an issue with dunst or sway (the wayland compositor I use), but I have been running both with debug logging enabled and was able to reproduce the issue just now.
When I run
notify-send -t5, the following output fromdunstctlis visible:That is – the dunst appears to be operating as usual.
However I don't see any notifications and sway's logs show no sign of any windows being created like for example these I otherwise would see when things work normally:
So in short, wayland surfaces aren't getting created, but dunst does not surface any errors in its own logs either.
I utilize
set-pausedfunctionality to stop notifications from showing up when the screen is locked, but runningdunstctl is-pausedreturnsfalse. Is there a reason to believe use of thepausefunctionality could be to blame here?Any advise for further troubleshooting would be greatly appreciated
Installation info
I haven't attempted to minify the configuration yet.
