Notification all black on Arch with Xmonad #632

Closed Legogris closed 5 years ago

Legogris commented 5 years ago

I unfortunately don't remember when this started happening, but in a previously working environment dunst is now all black. I think this is different from #225 et al - the time period, size and position matches what I would expect but instead of a notification it's just an all-black box.

Installation info

personinblack commented 5 years ago

I have this same stuff for like a month except it is not black but my wallpaper instead. It makes the window behind it invisible. To fix this problem I have to restart Dunst periodically.

Here is a screenshot (notice the bottom right).

tsipinakis commented 5 years ago

Huh, that's weird. Can either of you run build from source and run a bisect to see which change broke it?

Well the thing is I don't know what triggers this stuff :/ So I can't just go through the history and wait for it to happen but I will try.

tsipinakis commented 5 years ago

Oh, from the original issue I thought this was something predictably reproducible on your setup. This is going to be tricky to debug otherwise :/.

I do have one theory on the cause though. Can you try using https://github.com/tsipinakis/dunst/commit/c5b5b0a914aa145ea2e617c84e608f2a6e833544, see if that fixes it?

I'm going to try this and report back in a few hours. Thanks!

personinblack commented 5 years ago

It's been 6 hours and I haven't experienced any problems at all. I believe this fixes the problem. Thank you @tsipinakis.

personinblack commented 5 years ago

Here I am after a day. The problem is back :( I'm still running the bugfix.

Legogris commented 5 years ago

I am a couple of hours in and so far so good.

personinblack commented 5 years ago

@Legogris, if we are having the same problem, the problem should come back after a reboot. If not, I have to open up a new issue and try to run a bisect.

This is exactly what happened. Fresh reboot, all black again.

tsipinakis commented 5 years ago

Just to double check, after the reboot you are running the patched version, right? And not letting dbus auto-start the older one?

I have the older one removed. My i3 config auto starts the patched one. I will try to run a bisect but I'm too busy with school at the moment :/ Hopefully it will be finished after this week.

Same bug for me, I don't know if it's related but it happened the approximately when I changed colors in :

[urgency_low]                                  
    # IMPORTANT: colors have to be defined in quotation marks.
    # Otherwise the "#" and following would be interpreted as a comment.
    background = "#222222"                                                   
    foreground = "#888888"  
    timeout = 10
    # Icon for notifications with low urgency, uncomment to enable
    #icon = /path/to/icon

[urgency_normal]                                      
    background = "#000000"
    foreground = "#ffffff"
    timeout = 10                      
    # Icon for notifications with normal urgency, uncomment to enable 
    #icon = /path/to/icon         

[urgency_critical]
    background = "#900000"
    foreground = "#ffffff"
    frame_color = "#ff0000"                                                 
    timeout = 0

Correct.

Im having the same problem as him, dunst show transparent with notifications coming from laravel-mix, here is a screenshot 1561073536

tsipinakis commented 5 years ago

@Ryuuji159 and all others that reported this: Is this predictably reproduce-able with a specific notification or does it happen at random times?

Could you also post your dunstrc and the output of dbus-monitor when a notification that causes it to happen goes through?

Ryuuji159 commented 5 years ago

Sorry for the late response here is the output of dbus-monitor

Legogris commented 5 years ago

Me and @Ryuuji159 have the exact same pattern here.

Let me preface this by saying my understanding of DBus is very limited, but I can kind of see what's going on here:

Not sure how to dig deeper from here, though... Any thoughts @tsipinakis ? I can reproduce this easily and could debug if I get some assistance.

tsipinakis commented 5 years ago

I don't think this is an issue with dbus, if anything it would be on the dunst->X11 interaction side.

The log @Ryuuji159 provided seems normal, I asked for it in an attempt to reproduce this but haven't managed to still. The error you're seeing is most likely because you're using dunstify or notify-send to send a notification - then when that notification is closed dunst tries to tell the client that it did but it has obviously already exited so it fails.

For the actual topic of this issue I'll admit I'm unsure of how to proceed.

I can reproduce this easily and could debug if I get some assistance.

The next best thing to get this moving along would be to pinpoint the exact change that broke it, can you run a bisect and see what that gives?

Legogris commented 5 years ago

Actually, I think I may have figured it out - had somehow missed the FAQ and I now realized I had more than one initialization of dunst. For as long as I can remember, I have just started in in my .xinitrc but now it turns out I have a file under /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.knopwob.dunst.service. Killing the one from my .xinitrc fixed it, will see if it's good after a reboot with it removed. So local misconfiguration.

I suspect that maybe whatever Arch or AUR package I installed dunst with introduced this in a package upgrade at some point.

EDIT: Yup, confirmed that dunst-git does a make install, thereby installing a systemd service at some point. I guess this can be closed.

tsipinakis commented 5 years ago

Huh that's weird. I'd appreciate it if someone else can also confirm this is the case. Ping @personinblack, @ElieLP.

This strikes me as weird because under normal circumstanced dunst will refuse to start if another notification daemon is running on the same bus. Do you have two dbus instances running by any chance?

Legogris commented 5 years ago

Good question - I don't think I am:

tsipinakis commented 5 years ago

Well the first two dbus processes in that output are the usual ones - the systemwide bus and the user (session) bus respectively.

I'm not sure what that third process is - something from gnome probably.

Since no one else has responded by now I'll assume it's solved.

tsipinakis commented 5 years ago

Oh, if it does re-occur to anyone please do comment and I'll re-open this.
