is the file org.knopwob.dunst.service present in the dbus service folder?

xienuss commented 3 months ago

yes, do i need to delete it?

xienuss commented 3 months ago

so, i deleted it and mako started working, thanks!

Doing make uninstall should remove this file (which tells dbus that dunst is the notification daemon). Did you run that command? Or did you remove dunst from the package manager? It may be a packaging error, maybe should report to the arch maintainer (?)

i used pacman -R dunst to uninstall it, also the daemon is still im my /usr/local/bin after i uninstalled it

I am not too familiar with pacman, is there a purge option? Anyway, maybe you could tell the arch package maintainer about it?

xienuss commented 3 months ago

yeah -R means -Remove, i think i'll report this tomorrow

The Arch package doesn't install into /usr/local/ https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/dunst/files/ And even if it did, the files are tracked and if the package gets uninstalled it would be removed. So whatever happened it isn't an Arch packaging problem (aka nothing to report to them)
